2024 NFL Free Agents: Predictions for Potential Offseason Targets amid Rumors
A torn Achilles may have ended Kirk Cousins’ season early, but that doesn’t mean he won’t have his share of suitors as a free agent.
The Minnesota Vikings likely will be interested in bringing Cousins back, but his contract states that he cannot be franchise-tagged, leaving the rest of the league free to pursue him.
Cousins will be 36 at the start of the 2024 season, so he should be looking to join a team with a strong foundation on offense. In the right situation, he could turn a franchise into a Super Bowl contender next year.
The Atlanta Falcons have a ton of talent on offense with young stars like Bijan Robinson and Drake London, but Desmond Ridder doesn’t appear to be their quarterback of the future. The Falcons would be wise to pivot to a veteran signal-caller like Cousins, who could find it enticing to turn around a franchise that has missed the playoffs in each of the last five years.
