Division Talk: Falcons are heavy favorites to land Justin Fields

If I'm the Falcons I'm going after Cousins in FA. 

Cousins or Wilson, depending on the cost for either. 

Fields is actually a bad gamble. You have to decide on his 5th year deal almost immediately, so it could end up being a more expensive bust than you had planned on if you do that and he plays the way he has in his first three years.

Cousins or Wilson offer an option to immediately be the best team in the NFC South.

Sounds familiar.

Keep an eye on the Steelers.  As much talk as there is about Fields going to the Falcons, the Steelers rumblings aren't fading away.

At this point I think Atlanta gets the first crack, BUT if somehow things don't go swimmingly with a proposed deal with the Bears, expect the Steelers swoop in and snag Fields.

Shefty said the Steelers were always the most realistic landing spot.

 

The Atlanta rumors just seem to be media driven. I said the Falcons should be going after Cousins as he is the best QB available. Cousins with those weapons the Falcons easily win the South.

You would think Atlanta would have been paying attention to what we did the last couple of years.

We went after retread after retread only to find out they weren't worth a damn.

Fields is going to have to have a specific type of offense for him to thrive or a HC like Canales. NOT SAYING WE SHOULD SIGN HIM.

They are probably weighing what it would take to get to #2 or #3 versus a trade for Fields.  Obviously if the Bears are dealing Fields, they are staying at #1 to take Williams.

As far as Cousins goes, I think he'll want to go to a team that's a closer to a title run.  He'll only go to Atlanta if they are the highest bidder by a wide margin.

Honestly they are in a great position, either to stay put for QB4, move up for QB2/3, trade for Fields or sign a solid veteran like Cousins.

I mean Atlanta is obviously the best choice for Cousins if he's trying to win.

 

He has to go through Detroit/GB if he stays in Minnesota.

Atlanta is not the only team in need of a veteran QB.  Agreed playing for the Vikings is an uphill battle in that division.  Maybe he likes the team, doesn't want to move and not shy about the challenge of stiff competition, who knows?  Cousins to Atlanta makes sense, but it's no where close to a slam dunk.

Just for the record I think he stays in Minny. Just saying if I was him I would go to Atlanta.

Not sure what has been discussed, but they recently announced that fields is not getting the offers the Bears had hoped to get...Russell Wilson getting released is going to make him cheaper without a trade.  Cousins is now the favorite in Atlanta if he moves, but their second choice is Baker Mayfield. 

Oh my.
