Show Notes
The Las Vegas Raiders secure Kirk Cousins as their temporary quarterback with a creative contract, paying only $11.3 million while the Atlanta Falcons cover the rest. This move sets Cousins up as a bridge until their 2026 rookie takes over. Other teams, like the Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, and Green Bay Packers, showed interest, but the Packers GM, Brian Gutekunst, is focusing on protecting their compensatory draft picks. Cousins release from Atlanta means he wouldnt impact their picks. Teams may wait until after the draft to sign backup quarterbacks, with veterans like Russell Wilson, Tyrod Taylor, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Teddy Bridgewater still available. This quarterback shuffle highlights GMs strategic moves for maximum value and draft protection.
