The Steelers are still in need of a quarterback while they wait for veteran free agent Aaron Rodgers to make a decision on his future. Trading for Cousins would almost assuredly take Pittsburgh out of the running for Rodgers, leaving the 41-year-old without a landing spot unless something opens up later this summer.

Fontenot had stated that he does not have a number in mind of how much he would want teams to pay for the guaranteed salary. The full no trade clause is also haunting the Falcons as Cousins could reject any trade to a team that would not start him.
