Falcons' Kirk Cousins Offers to Write Kyle Pitts a Check to Charity for No. 8 Jersey

Both Kirk Cousins and Kyle Pitts have worn the No. 8 during their NFL careers, and the fate of the number remains up in the air after the veteran quarterback officially signed with the Atlanta Falcons this week.

Cousins told reporters Wednesday that he offered to write Pitts a check to the charity of his choice in exchange for the number, to which Pitts joked, "I just want targets every game."
