2. Tennessee Titans
After seeing how things played out with Will Levis this past season in Tennessee, the Titans might want to bring in a veteran quarterback to get this team back on track.
If that’s the case, Atlanta should put in a phone call to see if the Titans would foolishly entertain the idea of trading for Cousins. The Titans are at the top of the draft with the No. 1 overall pick, and no one knows what they will do with it.
Tennessee could take a quarterback with the first pick. Or they could go after Penn State’s Abdul Carter or Colorado’s Travis Hunter. If the Titans rather have a proven guy under center like Cousins, then adding Carter or Hunter on defense makes the most sense.
This season, Levis struggled in his second year in Nashville. The former second-round pick completed 63.1 percent of his passes for 2,091 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. It wasn’t a banner year for the young quarterback, who showed some flashes as a rookie.
If the Falcons could convince Tennessee to take Cousins off their hands, Titans head coach Brian Callahan might feel like he has a quarterback who can do a little bit more in the passing game despite a poor 2024 season post-injury.
According to Over The Cap, the Titans are projected to have $44 million in cap space for 2025, more than enough to take on Cousins’ contract. The Falcons likely wouldn’t get much in return for Cousins from the Titans.
For example, if the Titans offer a 2025 fifth-round pick and a 2026 fourth-round pick, that might be good enough for the Falcons to get rid of Cousins and figure out the financial ramifications later.
