Will the Cleveland Browns trade for Falcons QB Kirk Cousins? | Sporting News
Sporting News - Dec 18th, 2024
The Cleveland Browns have used three quarterbacks this season, achieving only three wins, unlike last year's successful playoff run with five quarterbacks. Speculation arises about the Browns' 2025 quarterback, with Kirk Cousins emerging as a possible candidate following his benching in Atlanta due to poor performance. Cousins has a history with Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski from their time at the Minnesota Vikings, and despite recent struggles, he might be a suitable short-term option for Cleveland. If Atlanta releases Cousins, a cheap veteran deal with the Browns could be a viable option.
