The Kirk Cousins experiement with the Atlanta Falcons didn’t go as expected last season, as the former Minnesota Vikings standout had one of the worst campaigns of his entire career in 2024 before being benched late in the season for Michael Penix Jr. In free agency before the 2024 season, Cousins signed a four-year, $180 million contract with the Falcons and was clearly still under the impression that he would be the starter for the team for the foreseeable future. On Sunday, Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot spoke about Cousins’ situation and where it stands at the moment, via Falcons beat writer D. Orlando Ledbetter.
