The NFL offseason has already provided many interesting storylines, all of which have come ahead of the legal tampering period.
Now that this window is about to open, teams will make even more moves than before, hoping to land one of the offseason’s top free agents.
Kirk Cousins is viewed as one of the best available options.
While the Minnesota Vikings are still pursuing him, it does appear that he is open to the possibility of joining another team.
Ian Rapoport recently discussed this situation with Tom Pelissero on NFL Network.
In his eyes, it will cause a splash throughout the league wherever Cousins goes.
“Wherever Kirk Cousins lands will have wide-ranging ramifications,” Rapoport said.

The Atlanta Falcons are said to be in pursuit of him, and other teams desperately need a QB.
However, if the Vikings can bring him back, the Falcons are in a difficult spot.
Rapoport pointed to the Falcons as a potential team to trade for Justin Fields if this happens, as they hope to find a quarterback who can support their young, talented players.
If Cousins leaves the Vikings, Rapoport sees them as a team that could trade for a young player, such as Sam Darnold, hoping he can be a stopgap player as they search for their next franchise star.
Fans should have some clarity over the next several days, as the tampering period tends to bring teams out of the woodwork, as they can officially discuss their options for the upcoming season.
Once the Cousins domino falls, it could open up a gigantic can of worms that would likely affect the entire league.
