According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Atlanta Falcons are willing to trade Kirk Cousins, but they want a trade package that includes a “premium draft pick.”

The reason for that is because Kirk Cousins is in the second year of his 4-year, $180 million contract that he signed with the Falcons last offseason. Cousins as a $40 million cap hit in 2025.

There are multiple teams that are dealing with injuries at the quarterback position, most notably the Cincinnati Bengals who lost Joe Burrow until at least December due to a toe injury.

The trade deadline is six weeks away.
