Kirk Cousins to Atlanta, Saquon Barkley to Philadelphia among NFL's blockbuster signings
Kirk Cousins and Saquon Barkley flew the coop on Monday for the Atlanta Falcons and the Philadelphia Eagles, respectively, jolting the normally staid NFL offseason.
Kirk Cousins and Saquon Barkley, two of pro football's best-known players at their positions, flew the coop Monday for the Atlanta Falcons and the Philadelphia Eagles, respectively, jolting the normally staid NFL offseason.
Cousins, the fifth-leading passer of all active quarterbacks, has left the Minnesota Vikings and agreed to a four-year deal with the Falcons, said his agent, Mike McCartney.
Cousins, 35, had spent six seasons in Minnesota, following six campaigns with the franchise now known as the Washington Commanders.
The NFL's 2024 schedule hasn’t been announced, but each team knows whom they'll be playing this fall. The Falcons, by coincidence, are set to visit the Vikings this season.
Barkley, a three-time 1,000-yard rusher with the New York Giants, wrote on X: "Thank you to everyone who has shown me love and support over the past 6 years… forever grateful! Excited for the next chapter."
