The basic contours of Kirk Cousins-to-the-Atlanta-Falcons have been out there for a while. Cousins was intrigued by an opportunity to come home and a team he felt was a good fit, while the Falcons felt Cousins was the right fit for a team that badly needed a major upgrade at quarterback.

If you’re interested in a deeper dive into how this all came together, though, that’s now out there.
