Dallas cowboys Would Kirk Cousins be on the Cowboys’ radar for 2025? Expert weighs in
Cousins trade rumors heat up after draft shocker
In a surprising turn of events, rumors are swirling about the potential trade of Kirk Cousins from the Atlanta Falcons to a top NFC team.
This speculation comes in the wake of the Falcons’ decision to draft Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the No. 8 selection, despite having signed Cousins to a massive four-year, $180 million deal with $100 million guaranteed in free agency.
The move to draft Penix Jr. has raised questions about the future of Cousins in Atlanta.
It seems unlikely that the Falcons would invest such a high draft pick in a quarterback if they intended for him to sit behind Cousins for the duration of his contract, especially considering that Penix Jr. will be 28 years old when Cousins’ contract expires.
Drummond’s analysis sheds light on the potential appeal of Cousins as a trade target.
He emphasized that the Cowboys could acquire Cousins without committing to anything beyond the 2025 season, as that is the only remaining guaranteed base salary on his contract, and it is relatively affordable at $27.5 million with no roster bonus.
The situation surrounding Cousins’ future has sparked widespread interest and speculation among fans and analysts.
The unexpected draft selection by the Falcons has prompted discussions about the team’s long-term plans at the quarterback position and the potential implications for Cousins.
As the rumors continue to swirl, it remains to be seen whether a trade involving Cousins will come to fruition and which NFC team might emerge as a potential destination for the talented quarterback.
The unfolding drama surrounding Cousins’ future promises to be an intriguing storyline to watch in the coming months.
