As the NFL draft dust settles, the Pittsburgh Steelers emerge as potential suitors for Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins. Despite Cousins losing his starting spot to rookie Michael Penix Jr. last season, Falcons GM Terry Fontenot remains open to trade discussions. He stated the team is willing to explore options that would benefit the organization, but is cautious about taking on Cousins' $37.5 million contract, particularly if it requires the Steelers to absorb a significant portion of it.

If the Steelers cannot secure Aaron Rodgers for the upcoming season, the likelihood of pursuing Cousins increases. Cousins' experience could be a valuable asset for a Steelers team looking to contend, but financial implications and roster dynamics will be critical in any potential trade discussions.
