Kyle Pitts teases Kirk Cousins new jersey number after QB agrees to join Falcons in 2024 NFL free agency
is set to quarterback the in 2024 after agreeing to a $ LeBron James Jersey 180 million deal to start free agency. But will the former starter keep his signature No. 8 jersey? Hours after Cousins decided to set sail for Atlanta, new teammate is already teasing the po sibilities."Who gets to keep No. 8?" on X (formerly Twitter) Monday afternoon.The Pro Bowl tight end, who's worn No. 8 since joining the Falcons in 2021, then shared featuring an illustration of Cousins in a No. 12 Falcons jersey. He followed it up with more fuel for the fire of speculation, at the University of Florida, where he wore No. 84. All this comes a week after Pitts from NBC Sports about Cousins Denzel Curry Jersey communicating with the tight end about taking his No. 8 jersey even before the official start of the free-agent negotiating period.So where do things actually stand? The one thing we can say for sure is that No. 12 is not off the table for Cousins. The number was previously worn in Atlanta by wide Breein Tyree Jersey receiver , but he is currently unsigned as a 2024 free agent. Cousins' connection to No. 12 dates back to his days in Washington, when he was a signed the number as a fourth-round draft pick in 2012. He kept No. 12 for two seasons before switching to No. 8, which he had worn Tim Hardaway Jersey at Michigan State and in high school. Pitts, meanwhile, is still officially listed as owning No. 8, but Cousins can't officially join the Falcons' roster until Wednesday, and Pitts' posts suggest there's at least a chance he'll be changing numbers for 2024. Typically when there's a high-profile jersey swap in play, the potential number-taker offers compensation -- either a direct payment or a charitable donation -- and there are few players better positioned to spend a few extra dollars this offseason than Cousins. The quarterback's reported four-year deal with Atlanta includes $100 million guaranteed. In other words, if he truly Kelly Olynyk Jersey wants No. 8, it's a safe bet he'll get it.
