On Feb. 20, CBS Sports' Cody Benjamin named the three best fits for Cousins this offseason. Unsurprisingly, he identified the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets, two teams who have been linked to Cousins throughout this offseason.

Free agency is less than a month away and the 2025 cap has been set at $279.5 million. That means it's time for teams to start making decisions about who will be on the roster for 2025 and who is on the way out.

With the new league year kicking off March 12, NFL teams are already deep into planning for the offseason. Here are five moves the Atlanta Falcons should make in the coming months.

“Spielman’s presence in the front office is sure to spark Kirk Cousins speculation,” ESPN’s Rich Cimini wrote on February 10. “As the Minnesota Vikings’ GM, Spielman signed Cousins to a huge free agent deal in 2018. Cousins, who enjoyed his most productive years in Minnesota, is likely to be cut or traded by the Atlanta Falcons in the coming weeks.

Rumors now suggest that the Falcons are looking to trade Cousins, who's set to enter the second season of a four-year $180 million deal, and John Kosko of Pro Football Focus lists the Las Vegas Raiders as the best fit for him.
