ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons’ offseason overhaul, highlighted by the additions of coach Raheem Morris and quarterback Kirk Cousins, add intrigue to the team’s NFL draft plans.
By signing Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract with $100 million guaranteed, the Falcons appear to have no need to join the competition for the top quarterbacks in the draft with their No. 8 overall pick. Desmond Ridder, who opened last season as the starter, was traded to Arizona for wide receiver Rondale Moore following the Cousins signing.
Taylor Heinicke, who shared the job with Ridder last season, returns as the probable backup.
Is there still a need for another quarterback? Cousins will be 36 when the 2024 season opens, and he is returning from a torn right Achilles tendon that ended his 2023 season after eight games.
While it’s possible the team could add another quarterback after the first round, the Falcons could focus on defense at the top of the draft. Atlanta may address a pressing need by looking for an edge rusher such as Alabama’s Dallas Turner in the first round.
