The Atlanta Falcons have the salary cap space to be active this offseason in free agency, but some concerns adding Minnesota Vikings QB Kirk Cousins would cost too much. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down the cuts the Falcons can make to clear more cap space and breaks down a potential contract structure for Cousins that would be relatively easy to handle on their 2024 salary cap. However, he discusses the challenges to the Falcons salary cap that may come in 2025 and beyond if they add Cousins.

Later, he breaks down how the Falcons can avoid mediocrity with Cousins by strengthening other areas of their roster and drafting quarterbacks in the future. He discusses the Kansas City Chiefs path to landing Patrick Mahomes, including their previous swings at quarterback and how they needed a 10 NFL teams to pass on Mahomes during the 2017 NFL Draft.
