Kirk Cousins wants to leave the Atlanta Falcons, but his situation is complicated due to a fully guaranteed $90 million contract. He has a no-trade clause and prefers to be released, while the Falcons are looking to trade him to recover draft capital and minimize salary cap hits. Owner Arthur Blank emphasized their financial commitment to Cousins and their responsibility to the franchise, indicating that any trade would require careful consideration of Cousins' needs and a comprehensive offer. As Cousins also prioritizes family stability, negotiations are tense and time-sensitive.
Kirk understands his situation. He understands our own situation. He understands we've committed a lot of funds to him.
I told (Cousins) that we will be as thoughtful and sensitive to him as we can be, but we have a responsibility to the franchise - which we do.
