Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox argued a Kirk Cousins return to the Atlanta Falcons will make a lot more sense after one move first.

The Vikings get a needed boost to their draft stock with the expectation they'll receive a third-round pick for Kirk Cousins' departure.

When those contracts void, the prorated money on the salary cap will immediately accelerate to the 2025 salary cap, something that could be a hindrance for the Vikings in bringing

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins made a strong first impression in his debut as an analyst for ESPN during the Chiefs’ Divisional Round win over the Texans on Saturday. His performance off the field went over well with many on social media, including colleague Pat McAfee, who wrote on X that Cousins “is gonna be PHENOMENAL on television.”

That leaves the Vikings with J.J. McCarthy. It is clear he is their future but the Falcons can dangle carrot in front of them with a player they have tremendous respect for—Kirk Cousins.

Sam Darnold’s season did not end in a memorable way, but he still could be the best available quarterback this offseason. How much will he earn?

Should the Vikings pay Darnold after his (mostly) excellent season? Or should they go with McCarthy and spend that money at other positions?

There's a door open for Jones in Minnesota, according to general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. In his end-of-season news conference, Adofo-Mensah openly admitted that the move to sign Jones midseason was to get a feel for his potential fit with questions surrounding Darnold and McCarthy.

The Falcons have a lot to do this offseason, which began with the hiring of Jeff Ulbrich to be the team’s next defensive coordinator. However, hiring Ulbrich was only the start as a decision on Kirk Cousins looms.
