Have the Atlanta Falcons Been Given a Miracle?
When I say miracle, I mean something so crazy, so unexpected, that people are questioning, Is this even real? And yes, I’m talking about the Kirk Cousins situation.
In this breakdown, we’ll dive into the latest reports surrounding Cousins, plus we’ll cover a key free-agent signing the Falcons made in the last 24 hours.
The Kirk Cousins Trade Rumors
Biggest news of the day? Josina Anderson dropped a bombshell—the Falcons might be able to trade Kirk Cousins for not a fifth-round pick, not a fourth… but a third-round pick.
Let me read the tweet for you. According to Josina Anderson:
“I was told that two quarterbacks' names came up in recent preliminary trade inquiries or internal discussions per league source—Kirk Cousins and Will Levis. Atlanta has been getting calls.”
Here’s the important part: calls as in plural. That means multiple teams are interested, and she even mentioned that a third-round pick could be on the table.
If the Falcons manage to pull this off, Terry Fontenot deserves a spot in the GM Hall of Fame. Seriously. Atlanta has stood firm, saying they wouldn’t trade Kirk, yet now we’re seeing reports that discussions are happening. If the Falcons actually get a third-round pick for Cousins? It’s nothing short of a miracle.
Could This Actually Happen?
Now, let’s be real. If this deal goes through, Atlanta will likely have to eat some of Kirk’s contract. Cousins is owed $27.5 million, plus a $10 million kicker for staying on the roster. If the Falcons can move him, they might need to cover part of that money to seal the deal. But honestly?
I’d gladly pay $20 million to get a third-round pick and send Kirk packing. That’s easy money for a future-building move.
Falcons Make a Key Free Agency Move
Beyond the Cousins drama, Atlanta also made a sneaky good pickup in Jordan Fuller, a safety who played under Raheem Morris with the Rams before a stint with the Panthers.
Why Fuller is a Good Fit
Elite Tackler – Fuller thrives as a downhill safety, great against the run.
Perfect Pairing with Jesse Bates – If the Falcons want to run more single-high looks, Fuller allows Bates to roam and make plays.
Adds Flexibility in the Draft – Atlanta no longer needs to draft a safety early. They can develop a mid-round guy instead.
Now, Fuller isn’t the flashiest name, but he fits the scheme and fills a role that the Falcons lacked last year. A solid addition.
Final Thoughts: The Miracle in the Making
Keep an eye on this Kirk Cousins situation because if the Falcons actually pull off a trade for a third-round pick, it changes everything.
And one last thought—Aaron Rodgers delaying his decision is only making quarterback-needy teams more desperate. That could work in Atlanta’s favor.
