El editor de los Steelers rechaza rotundamente a Kirk Cousins

Bob Labriola, editor de Steelers.com, declaró que se opone a que los Pittsburgh Steelers fichen al mariscal de campo Kirk Cousins. Su comentario surgió en respuesta a la pregunta de un lector sobre la elección entre Cousins y Aaron Rodgers. El rechazo directo de Labriola destaca el escepticismo interno en medio de la especulación sobre la posición de mariscal de campo.

En una reciente sección de 'Asked and Answered' en Steelers.com, publicada el jueves, Bob Labriola respondió sin rodeos a la consulta de un fanático: “Mi postura sobre Kirk Cousins es un no rotundo”. La opinión del editor destaca dado su rol dentro del equipo, donde rara vez ofrece posturas tan directas sobre jugadores que no forman parte de la plantilla, tal como informó Steelers Depot el jueves por la tarde. La postura de Labriola surge mientras los Steelers consideran opciones más allá de Aaron Rodgers, quien podría retirarse o renovar su contrato. Cousins, liberado recientemente por los Atlanta Falcons tras dos temporadas decepcionantes, encabeza la lista de mariscales de campo agentes libres por detrás de Rodgers. Fue titular en 22 partidos con Atlanta, lanzó 21 intercepciones y se desempeñó como suplente en 2025 hasta la lesión de Michael Penix Jr. Los Falcons lo cortaron al inicio del nuevo año de la liga, con Tua Tagovailoa ocupando su lugar y Kyler Murray fichando por Minnesota. Cousins no ha mostrado prisa por firmar, respaldado por una clase de draft limitada y otros mariscales de campo que ya encontraron equipo. Las especulaciones lo vinculan con Las Vegas como mentor para Fernando Mendoza o con Arizona, que carece de un titular claro. Adam Schefter de ESPN ha señalado a Pittsburgh como un posible destino, aunque los Steelers no han confirmado su interés. La opinión de Labriola, aunque influyente, no dictará los movimientos del equipo.

New coach Klint Kubiak, who worked with Cousins in Minnesota, prefers rookies sit initially. The deal includes roughly half paid by the Raiders—with a $1.3 million minimum and $10 million roster bonus due March 2027—and the rest offset by the Atlanta Falcons after cutting Cousins this offseason.
