There are only a few dominoes left in the NFL quarterback market this offseason. Multiple teams are waiting on Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson to make their free agency decisions. On the trade market, there is only one big name left who could be moved— Kirk Cousins, currently the No. 2 QB on the Atlanta Falcons' depth chart.
Cousins's huge and somewhat complicated contract makes any potential transaction difficult to forecast. Further complicating matters? The veteran QB has a no-trade clause that he can use to block a trade that he does not like. It seems unlikely he'd utilize it, given the Falcons have made it crystal clear that Michael Penix Jr. is the starter in Atlanta and Cousins wants the chance to start. But it remains as a negotiating tool— one that Cousins could wield to avoid particular circumstances.
