Nothing sums up the current state of the Browns quarterback situation like a weekend of conspiracy theories about Kirk Cousins visiting a Chipotle in Northeast Ohio. Beggars can’t be choosers, so when photos of the 36-year-old Cousins at various West Side eateries popped up on social media,

It’s the conundrum the Falcons find themselves in this offseason after the team named Michael Penix Jr. their starting quarterback last December, just 14 games into Cousins's four-year, $180 million contract.
