The Atlanta Falcons shelved quarterback Kirk Cousins ahead of their Week 15 matchup with the New York Giants, the first time in years Cousins was a QB2 while healthy. And things only got worse from there.

Amid a playoff push, one to end a six-season drought, the Falcons’ focus is on the Commanders as Michael Penix Jr. and Jayden Daniels square off in the NFL’s first-ever primetime matchup between two rookie first-round picks.

Cousins' top suitor is Cleveland, the long-recognized mecca center for all misfit quarterbacks. The Deshaun Watson experiment has been nothing short of a disaster. He has two years remaining on his five-year deal worth $230 million.
