The New York Giants are actively searching for a new quarterback, with general manager Joe Schoen exploring various avenues, including potential trades. One intriguing option put forth by Bleacher Report's Maurice Moton is to acquire Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins. The proposed trade would see the Giants giving up their 2025 fourth-round pick along with safety Dane Belton, who has shown promise despite limited playing time.

Moton's rationale for including a fourth-round pick remains unclear, though the Giants are expected to receive an extra fourth-rounder due to safety Xavier McKinney's departure in free agency. Cousins, if he agrees to waive his no-trade clause, would bring his $27.5 million salary in 2025 to the Giants, a fully guaranteed amount.

However, the trade would be a bold move, especially since Belton has demonstrated his potential with 74 tackles and five interceptions over three seasons. The Giants might be better off waiting to see if the Falcons will release Cousins, given the significant financial implications involved in such a transaction.
