Overview

  • Falcons GM Terry Fontenot reaffirmed the team’s willingness to trade Kirk Cousins if it benefits the roster, as the NFL Draft nears.
  • Fontenot denied reports that Atlanta is demanding suitors absorb over $20 million of Cousins' 2025 salary in a potential deal.
  • The Browns and Steelers are considered the most likely trade destinations, with the Vikings seen as a long shot due to their commitment to J.J. McCarthy.
  • Cousins, who holds a no-trade clause, participated in voluntary offseason workouts with the Falcons earlier this week.
  • Speculation suggests that any trade involving Cousins could occur on Day 3 of the NFL Draft, depending on team needs and draft outcomes.
