Hall of Famer questions Kirk Cousins deal with Atlanta Falcons

Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe has questioned the Atlanta Falcons' acquisition of veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins. 

On day one of free agency, the Falcons inked Cousins to a four-year $180 million contract, with $110 million guaranteed. 

Many analysts and insiders felt Cousins was the best free-agent quarterback on the market. 

However, NFL analyst and host of the Nightcap show Sharpe disagrees. He said, "Kirk Cousins has now made over $300 million in guarantees. All the while, he's won one playoff game. Overall, he's 78-72 in his career.

"I would have bet a pretty penny that Justin Fields would have been a better fit than Cousins. But you understand what you will get with Cousins."

Cousins is returning from an Achilles tear he sustained last season. The 35-year-old is back throwing footballs and moving around on an indoor field. 

Sharpe noted this as a potential issue: "You must protect him. He is not a mover. Cousins isn't that, especially coming back from the injury."
