1. I want to be a starter in the nfl as well but that shipped sailed . Cousins don’t have it no more , I just saw someone said cousins is dealing with shoulder issues

2. he's being greedy lmao .. stop it Kirk …

3. Okay I get it wanting to be a starter. But you are under contract.

4. cousins will play again but if he stinks then he will be benched and next year he will be traded lol. shame on the falcons for desperately signing an older qb coming off surgery and leaving his second team.

5. The Browns should trade for Kirk Cousins and give him a guaranteed contract. That way they can have two overpriced quarterbacks who can’t play.

6. In the best case scenario they could get a 3rd round pick for him he's in decline and tore his achilles same with rodgers except for the 4 mvp's

7. Are you sure that Rodgers is a better player than Cousins right now. You would be hard pressed to find evidence of that. Especially before the shoulder injury against the Saints in week 10. As a Vikings fan I am still holding out hope he is the starter in Minnesota the next 4 years.

8. Sure he does, and I want to be king of the world. Earn it Kirk. No one cares!

9. Gave a guy 100M to sit on the bench, good expert gm work there

10. This whole situation is hilarious.

11. As a Steelers fan I would much rather have 12 O’clock Kirk over Rodgers.

12. Cousins wasn't a starter when he was a starter! Most overrated Qb of all-time!

13. Mike Florio does not like the Browns and it shows

14. Demanding to be the starter after losing your job is diabolical. We saw him be a complete bum. With our eyes

15. Kirk has no leverage and next to no options. Last man standing is POSSIBLY Steelers who are still begging for Rodgers to hurry and come sleep over or POSSIBLY Browns who have a decent guy in Pickett and oh yeah the SECOND OVERALL DRAFT PICK in three weeks

    Who else would take on cousins and his money right now in April?

16. Cousins deserves the bench he has stole more money than Al Cappne! What a ahitty quarterback who has fooled so many for so long!

17. Titans – go and get him! Draft a qb next year

18. I would like to see Kirk Cousin with the Browns

19. Hilarious they thought a scare crow would work. Your humans, living scare crows. If the birds land near you. Scarecrows wont work

20. Kirk held the Vikings hostage with his contract for years and he was essentially a one dimensional QB with a huge reluctance to use his feet as he knows that would increase his chances of getting injured and he has always been about himself and his bank account. Kirk isn’t capable of raising the level of talent around him, and the Vikings had to always add more offensive weapons around Kirk to get more out of him at the expense of a perennial top 10 defense under Zimmer!

21. Chris pretending it's about ball play with Rodgers is hilarious

22. The ceiling for Cousins is about 8 wins for a team like the Steelers, 5-6 wins for a team like the Browns and 4 wins for a team like the Titans.

23. Welcome to Cleveland, Kirk! hahaha

24. He's going back to the Vikings.

25. No trade clause. Trade him where he wants to go (or cut him) or bro is going to be a very well paid backup.

26. I mean we knew this would be the case 11 months ago lol

27. Wasn't Cousins an interception machine this past year?

28. Trade him to giants they need insurance for Russ 😂😂😂

29. Not sure he is making more than 10 million after next year as a 37 year old QB especially if he is backing up Penix this upcoming season. I agree that he might be an option for the Browns give that Coach Stefanski was with the Vikings & Kirk in 2018 & 2019. Not sure the Steelers are going to want another aging failed QB after dealing with Russell Wilson last year? Other than Cleveland, going back to the Vikings to compete with JJ is probably his best option, but after holding the team hostage with his contract I would only make that move if he was on a low end backup contract. As far as Atlanta is concerned, the can want some draft capital but I don’t think any team would give up very much for Kirk, so if they don’t want to live in reality they can utilize his services as the highest paid backup in the history of the NFL!

31. ATL at this point he will only continue to hurt the team. You have already wasted $62m, embarrassing yourselves on the signing of him. Get what can and move on.

32. Cousins is laughing all the way to the bank. One playoff win for 400 million. He has fleeced every team he has played on. 😂

33. Kirk is 🗑️”I’m so sorry I’m scared to go to a team with QB competition because I know I will lose. $100 million QB crying like a baby. What is the league coming too?
