The Bengals have confirmed they are not pursuing a trade for QB Kirk Cousins and will continue with Jake Browning as their starter. Despite Cousins’ experience and performance, the Bengals plan to stick with Browning following his tenure as starter last season. Browning is on track to be a restricted free agent in 2026, presenting the Bengals with options for future tender offers. The Falcons are not expected to lower their asking price significantly for Cousins, who carries a no-trade clause and may remain in Atlanta through the season.
