The Pittsburgh Steelers are considering Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins as a backup option if Aaron Rodgers opts not to join the team, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. The Steelers have shown interest in Rodgers during free agency but are still awaiting his decision, while Cousins has been involved in trade discussions since the Falcons indicated Michael Penix Jr. would be their starter. Cousins, who signed a four-year, $180 million deal with Atlanta, has a no-trade clause and carries significant guaranteed money, complicating any potential trade talks.
