The Atlanta Falcons may struggle to trade quarterback Kirk Cousins this offseason, despite some optimism from analysts. Notably, Maurice Moton from Bleacher Report suggested a potential deal with the New York Giants. He proposed that the Giants could offer safety Dane Belton and a fourth-round pick in 2025 for Cousins, potentially positioning him as the Giants' starter for the upcoming season.
Belton, who has impressed in a limited role with the Giants, could provide the Falcons with a younger and more cost-effective alternative to the aging Justin Simmons, who is set to hit free agency. While the proposed trade seems beneficial on paper, the future of Cousins remains uncertain due to his no-trade clause and significant salary, which could complicate any attempts to move him.
