Thoughts on Q&A:

1.
Let’s start with the uncle. Adofo-Mensah started with a message of support for the injured defender. He was asked about signing Cousins, who could become a free agent after the season.
“I don’t want Kirk back,” Adofo-Mensah said.
“This is a negotiation.
You gather around the table and try to make sure everything is working properly.
When the time comes, we’ll have that conversation.

Translation: Cousin’s profits depend on finding two parties who match in terms of finances and terms of the deal.
Cousins’ impending freedom despite a torn Achilles could complicate matters.
He’ll be 36 when the 2024 season begins, but health permitting, he’ll still be one of the more attractive defensive options on the market.
It’s impossible to know which teams would be willing to pay him what they want, but the Patriots, Falcons and Chiefs likely have the QB requirements and capital to make a deal.

Many other factors can affect the final decision of both parties. But Adofo-Mensah left the door open for a return.

“All options are open, just like before the injury,” he said.
