Well, it looks like Kirk Cousins’ time in Atlanta might be coming to an end sooner than expected. With rumors swirling that the Falcons could release him in March, several teams are already lining up for a chance to snag the veteran quarterback.
While there are a few potential landing spots, the New York Giants seem like the perfect fit for Cousins. They’re entering a new era without Daniel Jones, and Cousins could be the ideal bridge quarterback to guide them through the transition.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: Cousins isn’t exactly the most mobile quarterback in the league. But he’s a proven veteran with a solid track record, and he can bring some much-needed stability to the Giants’ offense.
Sure, Cousins had a rough patch towards the end of his time in Atlanta, with more interceptions than touchdowns. But let’s not forget, he’s still a capable quarterback who can manage a game effectively. And hey, he might even be available at a bargain price, similar to how the Steelers landed Russell Wilson.
If I were the Giants, I’d be all over this. Cousins could provide a steady hand while they groom a younger quarterback or figure out their long-term plan. A short-term deal, maybe two years, could be a win-win for both sides.
Of course, the Giants aren’t the only team in the mix. The Cleveland Browns also make a lot of sense, given head coach Kevin Stefanski’s connection with Cousins from their time together in Minnesota.
It’s going to be interesting to see where Cousins ends up. But one thing’s for sure: he’s still got something to offer, and he could be a valuable asset for a team looking for a veteran presence at quarterback.
