ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Daniel Oyefusi reported Thursday that one team's offseason evaluations at quarterback will include Atlanta Falcons signal caller Kirk Cousins.

Less than two weeks after the report via ESPN's Adam Schefter that the Atlanta Falcons are expected to cut Cousins ahead of when his $10 million bonus is due on March 10, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Daniel Oyefusi noted that the Browns are a team of consideration for the 36-year-old.

The Falcons drafted Washington standout Michael Penix Jr. in the first round, which was a surprise to Cousins. Penix, who was considered one of the more pro-ready quarterback prospects in the class, will make his first NFL start this Sunday against the New York Giants.

Linebacker JD Bertrand, a fifth-round pick, has played 131 snaps. Defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro, a second-round pick, has played 104. Defensive tackle Brandon Dorlus, a fourth-round pick, has played 19 and was inactive for the 12th time on Sunday.

The Falcons could release or trade Kirk Cousins after benching him in favor of Michael Penix Jr. But they don’t really have to.

While the Falcons prepare for a "Sunday Night Football" date with the Commanders, one that features the first primetime matchup in NFL history in which two first-round rookies are starting with postseason implications, rumors are swirling around Kirk Cousins.

The bar for quarterback play is so low in Cleveland that another team’s benched disaster may be the best option for the Browns.

Cousins had Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski as a quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator when both were with the Minnesota Vikings during the 2018 and 2019 campaigns.
