For those who are scoring at home at the available options for the Cleveland Browns starting quarterback job, you can go ahead and mark off Russell Wilson, as you have already heard. That list is pretty long from when the names were added one by one.

The Falcons would take on a dead cap hit of $37.5 million while clearing $2.5 million in cap space by trading Cousins before June 1. If the team can wait until after June 1, Atlanta could offload his $27.5 million salary and lower his dead cap to just $12.5 million.

It was previously reported that the Atlanta Falcons could hold onto quarterback Kirk Cousins through the start of the 2025 NFL Draft on the night of April 24. That's despite the fact that Cousins lost the Atlanta starting job to 2024 first-round draft pick Michael Penix Jr. and wants to serve as a QB1 for a different team this coming September.
