Part 5/7:
Cousins' substantial contract raises questions about his future with the Falcons. Given that he has earned approximately $294 million over his career with only one playoff victory to show for it, the financial implications of keeping or trading him are significant. It’s unclear how other teams might view Cousins, given his current struggles and the burden of his contract.
Some analysts suggest that although Cousins is having a rough patch, other teams with poor quarterback situations might take a chance on him. The pressing question remains whether Atlanta will do anything to remain competitive while facing the tough potential of a trade or further adjustment of their roster.
