Cousins turns 37 this summer and has “clearly communicated” to Atlanta that he wants to spend his remaining NFL years as a starter. Cousins is willing to waive his no-trade clause to find somewhere to make that happen and, lucky for him, the Falcons are on the same page.

The Falcons remain committed to keeping quarterback Kirk Cousins, unless they can find a deal good for all parties involved.

Cousins previously worked with Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski with the Minnesota Vikings. Stefanski was the offensive coordinator for Cousins' first two seasons in Minnesota in 2018 and 2019.
