Kirk Cousins' hopes for a new start just crashed into a brick wall

As each week passes by, any hope that former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has about the Atlanta Falcons trading him elsewhere this season slowly fades away.

Following Joe Burrow's significant injury a few weeks ago, some viewed the Cincinnati Bengals as a potential landing spot for Cousins this year. But that is no longer the case after the move the Bengals just made.

On Tuesday, Cincinnati decided to make a trade for a veteran quarterback, and instead of Cousins, they opted to make a move to acquire Joe Flacco in a deal with the Cleveland Browns.
