Kirk Cousins needs out of Atlanta. The New York Giants are desperate for a quarterback. Here's why this match could work.

This late-career resume obviously isn’t great, but given how messy the Giants’ QB situation has been, the 13-year vet would be the best signal caller they’ve seen in years. If the price is a late-round pick, Schoen should absolutely take that flier if he whiffs on Rodgers and Wilson.

Fontenot declined at the time to say whether Cousins would accept being a backup. At the NFL combine, Atlanta's decision makers -- Fontenot and head coach Raheem Morris -- reaffirmed their stance that Cousins is the No. 2 passer.
