Christopher Hughes+FollowFalcons Double Down: Captain Kirk Stays PutLooks like the Dirty Birds are sticking with Captain Kirk as their backup QB for now! Despite trade rumors swirling and some teams showing interest, Atlanta isn’t letting Cousins go unless someone’s willing to eat a big chunk of his contract—and with that no-trade clause, he’s got plenty of say. With rookie Michael Penix Jr. taking the reins, it’s a bold move. Do you think keeping Cousins on the bench is the right call, or should the Falcons have made a deal? #Falcons #KirkCousins #NFLRumors #RiseUp #Sports70Share
John Camacho+FollowCould Captain Kirk Save the Saints’ Season?With Derek Carr’s shoulder still a big question mark, Who Dat Nation is buzzing about the idea of Kirk “Captain Kirk” Cousins stepping in as a bridge QB. While it’s rare for the Saints and Dirty Birds to do business, Cousins’ quick release would fit Kellen Moore’s offense perfectly. But would the Falcons really trade their $84M man to a division rival? And would Cousins even waive his no-trade clause for a team likely to draft a rookie? This move would shake up the NFC South! #Saints #KirkCousins #NFCSouth #WhoDat #NFLRumors #Sports161Share
