After Michael Penix Jr. took over for the last three games of the 2024 season, it seemed that the time of Kirk Cousins with the Falcons of Atlanta could end.
Until now, the Falcons have remained firm in their public position: Cousins remains as a safeguard – despite a contract worthy of a starting quarter. However, with the draft of the NFL 2025, there are reasons to believe that Atlanta could move away from the cousins if the good offer happened.
One of the landing points for rumors winning steam is the Cleveland Browns, which should be without Deshaun Watson for the 2025 season. This leaves Kenny Pickett newly acquired as the only notable name on the depth board.
Thursday, speculations surrounding a potential trade in Falcons-Browns resumed considerably after Cousins was spotted by posing for photos with fans in two restaurants in the Cleveland region (H / T @ ajpolak93).
After his stop in Chipotle, cousins replied the buzz on social networksBy saying: “The salad with a double chicken never lacks.”
This is the only direct comment of cousins so far, but its presence in Cleveland – especially at a time when the Browns hunt a quarter of a quarter – does not go unnoticed.
