Suppose the Pittsburgh Steelers get left empty-handed after a lengthy wait for Aaron Rodgers. Would they look for an alternate veteran option to increase their chances of being successful this season? Kirk Cousins, who was benched by the Atlanta Falcons last year in favor of a rookie, has emerged as the most likely option.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Cousins is firmly on their radar and may be moving up their list of priorities with each passing day that Rodgers delays his decision.
“When I check with people there, I kinda hear the same thing — ‘We remain optimistic,'” Fowler said via ESPN’s NFL Live this afternoon.
