As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, speculation surrounds the future of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins. Although Cousins is currently on the roster, a trade before or during the draft remains a possibility. Analyst Cody Benjamin has identified three potential landing spots for the veteran QB: the Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, and Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Vikings could welcome Cousins back, providing stability while grooming J.J. McCarthy for the future. Meanwhile, the Saints, facing uncertainty with Derek Carr, might see Cousins as a reliable stopgap if they opt not to draft a QB early. Lastly, the Steelers, who may miss out on Aaron Rodgers, could find Cousins as a viable alternative, reuniting him with former Falcons coach Arthur Smith as their offensive coordinator.
