The Falcons expect Kirk Cousins to show up for Atlanta’s mandatory minicamp tomorrow, sources say.
Cousins did not attend the team’s voluntary OTAs in late May, but was present for workouts in April.
His preference is still to be traded to a team where he could start.

The Falcons took two risks in selecting James Pearce Jr.
This is why they think it was worth it.

How the Falcons got comfortable with a risky trade up for James Pearce Jr.

Wouldn't think adding Pickett takes Cleveland out of a possible Cousins' acquisition.
Trade!
The Eagles are trading QB Kenny Pickett to the Browns in exchange for QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson and a 2025 fifth-round pick, per source.
Pickett lands back in the AFC North.
