The Burning Question: What Digit Does a Falcon-ised Kirk Cousins Fancy?
Ah, the intrigue! The suspense! The...well, maybe not drama, but certainly a question that's been fluttering around the heads of Atlanta Falcons fans like a rogue feather boa: what number will Kirk Cousins wear now that he's steering the ship under the Georgia sun?
We all know his signature number 8 from his Washington and Minnesota days. Did he manage to snag it in the ATL? Buckle up, folks, because this jersey number saga has more twists than a pretzel.
What Number Will Kirk Cousins Wear In Atlanta |
Number 8? Not Quite, Mate.
Hold your horses, number 8 enthusiasts. While there were whispers of a potential jersey number exchange with tight end Kyle Pitts (who currently sports the coveted 8), it seems a deal couldn't be reached. Let's just say negotiations weren't as smooth as a freshly-paved highway.
"It's hilarious," Cousins himself said on The Big Podcast with Shaquille O'Neal and Adam Lefkoe. Apparently, reaching an agreement wasn't quite as easy as tossing a signed football and a fistful of dollars. Pitts, it seems, wasn't quite as motivated to surrender his number as some might have expected.

We're sure jersey sales will be booming with this new look. Just imagine the majestic image: Cousins lofting a touchdown pass, the number 18 emblazoned on his back, the Atlanta faithful roaring with approval. It's a sight to behold, folks. A sight to behold.
