Browns Weigh Quarterback Options Amid Kirk Cousins Trade Talks

Kirk Cousins' strained relationship with the Atlanta Falcons continues as he publicly expressed feeling misled by the organization following their drafting of a quarterback, which impacted his decision to join the team. Despite injuries and benching, Cousins remains a viable starting option, drawing interest from teams like the Cleveland Browns, who are evaluating their quarterback roster including Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco, Shedeur Sanders, and Dillon Gabriel. Browns insiders and analysts suggest trading for Cousins could stabilize Cleveland's quarterback situation and reunite him with coach Kevin Stefanski, though the Browns' current quarterback competition may affect trade dynamics. Rookie Shedeur Sanders has shown promise during the offseason but remains behind veterans in the depth chart heading into training camp. Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Colts are considering adding Cousins to strengthen their quarterback position amid doubts about their current starters, Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones, viewing him as a potential key to playoff contention. Overall, Cousins' future may involve a trade from Atlanta as teams look to leverage his experience to improve their quarterback depth.
