Right now, the Falcons are the favorites to sign Kirk Cousins when he becomes available.
The veteran looks like he’ll either go to Minnesota or head south to Atlanta. Cousins can find something enticing about each side.
Since they moved there in 2018, his family has already established roots with the Vikings. He knows the well-liked Kevin O’Connell in the league and, in addition to Jordan Addison and TJ Hockenson, throws to Justin Jefferson, who is the top receiver in the game.
His wife’s family is from the metro Atlanta area, which is home to the Falcons. With Kyle Pitts, Drake London, and Bijan Robinson as weapons, offensive coordinator Zac Robinson is rumored to be a prodigy. In addition, the NFC North and NFC South are far more competitive.
All things considered, the Falcons’ attraction to the seasoned signal caller is, at most, comparable to that of the Vikings. But there’s more to his free agency, and this might be the most significant: money. Not only is the total amount of money significant, but so are the duration of the contract and the warranties.
The Falcons are predicted to pursue a quarterback with a great deal of urgency. Furthermore, Arthur Blank is not the type of owner that hesitates to make purchases.
The Vikings, on the other hand, might be more cautious. That might have the biggest effect on everything. So, how might a contract be written? Joel Corry, a former NFL agent, provided insight on a possible price range for CBS Sports.
