1/13/25	Todd Bowles Saw Big Strides from: Luke Goedeke, Christian Izien in 2024. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the NFC South with a 9-8 record in 2023, but that wasn't enough to make them favorites to win a fourth straight division title in 2024. After adding veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins and bringing in a new coaching staff under Raheem Morris, the Atlanta Falcons were widely given the best odds to take the South crown this year. Instead, the Buccaneers improved their record by one win to 10-7 and won the South by two games over the Falcons (despite losing twice to Atlanta). The Buccaneers' playoff run was brief, as they lost to the Washington Commanders in the Wild Card round on Sunday night, but this year's squad was statistically better than the 2023 team in a number of ways, most notably when running the football.

1/04/25	Why Kirk Cousins could be an option for the Browns in 2025: Mary Kay Cabot. As the Browns close out the dismal 2024 season here and look ahead to the future, Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins, benched two games ago in favor of No. 8 Michal Penix, could be one option for their upgraded quarterback room in 2025. Most expect the Falcons to release Cousins, 36, before paying him a $10 million bonus in March, and he'll be free to sign with any team. With a shortage of quality veterans becoming available in 2025, Cousins will certainly be on the Browns' radar as they seek bona fide competition for Deshaun Watson, the one sure thing in the quarterback room next season.

1/02/25	Cleveland Could Be the Next Quarterback Reclamation Destination. Time for my first mailbag of 2025. Here we go … From Craig Evans (@CraigEvans06): You think the Browns land Cousins or Rodgers, and if so, do they wait to draft a QB until 2026/27? Craig, I think Kirk Cousins is a very viable option for the Cleveland Browns. We reported in November that Cleveland was planning to bring back Deshaun Watson in 2025, faced with the reality that his contract (and injury) presents, but that it'd build out the quarterback room around him differently this time. The last couple of years, it's been structured to support him. In 2025, the Browns will try and put competition in that room. What's tricky of course is the money. Watson is due $46 million next year, fully guaranteed, Source: https://www.wtnh.com/sports/sports-illustrated/a69...
1/02/25	NFL rumors: Kirk Cousins named as Browns option to compete with Deshaun Watson. After being benched for Michael Penix Jr. late in 2024, it would not be a shock to see Kirk Cousins part ways with the Atlanta Falcons in the 2025 offseason. If that is the case, former coach Kevin Stefanski could look to bring him into the Cleveland Browns to compete with the struggling DeShaun Watson. Cousins, who is now an expensive backup, is a candidate to be released in the offseason, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Daniel Oyefusi reported. The reporters noted that the 36-year-old veteran could be “available for cheap” in the summer, making him a potential free-agent candidate to join the Browns' unimpressive quarterback room.
