Kirk Cousins linked to Steelers as potential landing spot
· Yahoo Sports
The Pittsburgh Steelers were recently linked to Kirk Cousins following reports that the Atlanta Falcons were looking to release the veteran quarterback.
According to CBS Sports’ Tyler Sullivan, the Steelers — as well as the Minnesota Vikings, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, and San Francisco 49ers — would make an ideal landing spot for Cousins.

“The jury is still out on whether or not Aaron Rodgers will be back for his 22nd season in the NFL or if he’ll opt for retirement, as he’s alluded to throughout the 2025 season,” Sullivan wrote. “If he does call it quits, the Steelers aren’t in a strong position to find a quarterback of the future at the 2026 NFL Draft, owning the 21st overall pick. With that in mind, the front office could do what they’ve done over the last few offseasons and bring in veteran quarterbacks.
“They did it with Russell Wilson in 2024 and Aaron Rodgers last year, and it would seem like Cousins fits that similar profile they’ve targeted in the past. With Mike McCarthy now installed as head coach, Cousins’ skill set would also seem to fit his system pretty seamlessly.”
If the Mike McCarthy-led Steelers can’t convince Rodgers to return in 2026, Cousins would serve as a great backup plan for Pittsburgh’s direction at quarterback.
