Falcons QB Kirk Cousins was spotted at a Chipotle in suburban Cleveland Thursday.
Cousins, 36, is not a free agent.
The Browns would still have to acquire him by trade.
Atlanta has to pay him $27.5 million for this coming season and so far Cousins has indicated he’s fine with staying as the Falcons backup.
