'Get it done': Atlanta reporter says Falcons owner wants Kirk Cousins
What is one supposed to believe during the speculation storms during the NFL Combine? Everything should probably be taken with a grain of salt, but there are interesting words coming from people with interesting jobs in Atlanta.
We're talking about the report from Zach Klein on Thursday. Klein is the sports director at WSB-TV in Atlanta and he's in Indianapolis for the Combine and he is claiming the Falcons are going to do whatever it takes to sign Kirk Cousins.
"All eyes, all arrows, everything points towards Kirk Cousins. Arthur Blank has basically told this front office, 'Do what you gotta do, pay what you gotta pay, get it done,'" Klein said on the Dukes & Bell show on 92.9 The Game. "So everybody I've talked to – agents, other coaches and scouts, guys around the league – that's the feeling that they are saying, of what they are hearing, is that the Falcons will put all their attention on Kirk Cousins moving forward."
Atlanta is believed by many to be a quarterback away from contending in the NFC. And Atlanta just so happens to be the metro area where Cousins' wife Julie grew up, where they have family and where they were married.
Take it however you want, but it's the latest buzz from a very buzzy week in Indy.
