The NFL offseason has revealed intricate dynamics among players who have missed Organized Team Activities (OTAs), with notable omissions having potential ramifications. Key figures are seeking trades or contract adjustments, while others remain enigmatic. Mandatory minicamp is approaching, and absent players could face fines, although some are sidestepping penalties by being present without participating. Particularly highlighted is Kirk Cousins' situation with the Atlanta Falcons, where his desire for a release conflicts with the team's financial considerations and preference to explore potential trades instead.
Cousins' preference is to be released, but the Falcons won't do that. He's owed $27.5 million in 2025 regardless, preferring a trade instead.
Players are circumventing mandatory minicamp fines by attending practices without participating, which avoids hefty penalties outlined in the NFL collective bargaining agreement.
