Pittsburgh Steelers remained receptive to Kirk Cousins as an option if Aaron Rodgers fails to attend mandatory minicamp, according to NFL sources.
The Pittsburgh Steelers might've had Kirk Cousins on their radar, but that's all speculation now. Seems like Aaron Rodgers, their new QB, has snatched that spot from him!
The Steelers picked Will Howard from Ohio State in the sixth round, making many think Rodgers had already agreed to sign. But recent reports suggest Rodgers never actually gave them the confirmation.
Back in the Atlanta Falcons' camp, Cousins had a rough season, with the worst interceptions count in the league under his belt. With rookie Michael Penix Jr. leading the team, Cousins' future in Atlanta looks uncertain.
