Perhaps the biggest layer is Cousins's no-trade clause. He has the right to waive it and decline trades to other teams, which makes sense for his camp considering a trade would detract assets from his new team. Fontenot said whether the Falcons can adjust Cousins's no-trade clause is a private discussion that will happen in due time.

Terry Fontenot, general manager of the Atlanta Falcons, addressed the rumors that quarterback Kirk Cousins would be next on the chopping block, calling them false. Instead, he said every player on the roster would be evaluated ahead of free agency and the upcoming NFL draft.

The Cleveland Browns must address the quarterback situation this offseason. Thankfully, whether it is through insurance or through voiding his contract, the newest Deshaun Watson injury could provide a strong opportunity for the team in NFL free agency.
