Kirk Cousins to begin contract negotiations with Falcons, per report

The legal tampering window of NFL free agency begins on Monday at noon, and it looks like the Atlanta Falcons may soon have a new quarterback. The Minnesota Vikings have yet to strike a deal with Kirk Cousins, meaning the veteran QB can start talking with other teams in about an hour.

The Falcons have a little over $37 million in salary cap space, but since any deal with Cousins wouldn’t become official until Wednesday afternoon, the team has more time to free up cash for a potential contract. According to The Athletic’s Dianna Rusini, Cousins will begin contract talks with the Falcons starting Monday at noon.
