Remember when Kirk Cousins was the talk of the league every day and night? It was a constant barrage of "where will Cousins land!?" or "when will the Falcons trade Cousins!?"
That has quieted down these past few weeks, mostly due to Aaron Rodgers finally deciding to sign with the Steelers.
But the silence speaks just as loudly as all the talk, as it has become abundantly clear that the Falcons are willing to keep their expensive quarterback around for the long haul.
Kirk Cousins is here to stay, for better or for worse
The Atlanta Falcons made it clear they would not sell last year's prized signing for peanuts to start the offseason; they were willing to keep him through thick and thin.
