Schefter then gave an update on Cousins' situation. The veteran quarterback is set to earn $27.5 million this season, which is arguably the biggest reason he's still in Atlanta. According to Schefter, the Steelers are the team to watch in regard to Cousins.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousin is the biggest loser from quarterback Aaron Rodgers' reported decision to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cousins was always Pittsburgh's best alternative if Rodgers decided to retire, and now he's basically stuck with the Falcons as their backup quarterback for the time being.
