Kirk Cousins is headed to the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran quarterback, who has spent the past six seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, agreed to a four-year, $180 million deal with $90 million fully guaranteed on Monday. Cousins will join a Falcons offense that includes dynamic playmakers at the skill positions and an expensive offensive line.
Did the Falcons pay too much for Cousins, who is coming off an Achilles tear? Are they now contenders in the NFC? Let's grade the deal.
To determine this grade, I'm taking into account multiple factors, including on-field impact, salary cap implications, Cousins' age and the context of the Falcons' short-and long-term outlook.
