I don't think signing Hoyer automatically means Cousins trade talk is off.

If WAS wants a draft pick, then we have all the leverage. They should just take a 2nd rounder for Cousins otherwise they gonna get nothing next year.

Year 2 under Shanahan always better than Year 1........even if Year 2 is happening 3 years later.

I don't agree that this means no trade for Cousins this year. I think it's still on going probably up until the draft.

Yeah, we have all the leverage right now. It's either pay or trade for the Skins.

This. Hoyer is a career backup....why the expectation that he will be the starter now? They probably told him that he has a decent shot at starting IF a trade can't be worked out for Cousins.

It's a huge jump to conclusions when people say that the Cousins trade isn't happening due to signing Hoyer. Shoot the new league year hasn't even started yet.

Safe pickup because it's not worth to put it all in the Cousins basket

Does this signing rule out Schuab being a backup here?

Now that Hoyer is onboard he should be forbidden from wearing #2. I don't want the stench of Glaine Babbert to rub off on him

He should wear #7 instead

Yes, Shaub agreed to re-sign with the Falcons moments ago

No, but Schuab signing with Atlanta sure would.

Like the insiders have said i doubt he signs with SF if Cousins was realistic this year.
