Atlanta writes a huge check to get the biggest free-agent QB available, hoping Kirk Cousins can help break a six-year playoff drought.
The Falcons have their answer at quarterback. Spending to land the high-dollar free agent at any position, Atlanta agreed to a four-year deal Monday with quarterback Kirk Cousins, a consistently prolific passer who at 35 will try to lead the Falcons back into the playoffs. Cousins, who missed the second half of last season with a torn Achilles tendon, gets a four-year deal reportedly worth $180 million, including $100 million guaranteed.
Cousins' deal is larger than the four-year, $150 million deal the Saints gave Derek Carr a year ago, and larger than the three-year, $100 million deal the Bucs gave Baker Mayfield this past weekend. None of the three came to the division with much playoff experience: Mayfield got his second career playoff win last season, while Carr has none and Cousins is 1-3 in his postseason career. The hope, as it was with the other two franchises, is that Cousins can improve on that record this year.
