Falcons | Kirk Cousins likely to be released during offseason

Several NFL executives believe that the Atlanta Falcons will release QB Kirk Cousins before he is due a $10 million roster bonus March 17, according to multiple sources. However, a Falcons official stated that it was too early to determine if he will be let go, given that QB Michael Penix has a relatively low salary cap number ($5.2 million) for the 2025 season, which would give the club the financial flexibility to keep Cousins.
