Kirk Cousins is an expensive backup for the Atlanta Falcons, making his presence on the roster financially burdensome. However, with his no-trade clause protecting him, he holds significant power in any potential trade discussions. Cousins is reluctant to waive this clause until he has clarity on which teams might draft a quarterback. His previous experience with the Falcons drafting Michael Penix Jr. unexpectedly has made him wary, though the Falcons desire to plan for the future at quarterback also underscores their interest in potentially moving Cousins, despite their lack of leverage due to financial constraints and his performance woes.
Kirk Cousins' no-trade clause restricts the Falcons' options despite his expensive contract, making a trade difficult unless Atlanta absorbs some of the financial burden.
Cousins prefers to see potential drafting teams before considering waiving his no-trade clause, wanting to avoid situations like last year's drafting of Penix.
