November, the Atlanta Falcons didn't anticipate having conversations about the future of quarterback Kirk Cousins-- but now, they have no choice. And the Falcons are locked in a world of complications.

Kirk Cousins’ future hangs in the balance. Whilst rumors have floated around about his future, surrounding potential trades, the front office have downplayed notions of Cousins’ impending departure, insisting – somewhat curiously – that they would be happy for him to stick around on the team.

The Falcons have a crucial decision to make on a potential Kirk Cousins trade, but they aren't in a rush to make a move.

Good thing Michael Penix Jr. is playing on a rookie contract because Cousins will be expensive for the Falcons no matter where he plays.

Many believed the Atlanta Falcons found their missing piece when they inked Kirk Cousins to a massive four year, $180 million deal last offseason. Atlanta's offense had been constructed with multiple weapons that included Drake London,

Kirk Cousins and the defense. They will have to explore ways of getting rid of the veteran while supporting their franchise quarterback in Michael Penix Jr.

Atlanta's pass rush showed life, but the secondary got burned. The pass blocking held up, but Kyle Pitts had another disappointing season.

The Cleveland Browns must address the quarterback situation this offseason. Thankfully, whether it is through insurance or through voiding his contract, the newest Deshaun Watson injury could provide a strong opportunity for the team in NFL free agency.
