Some NFL managers don't buy Atlanta Falcons, the Kirk Cousins ​​publish

The clock ticks for the Atlanta Falcons to make a decision about the future of Quarterback Kirk Cousins, which is expected to be released or traded in this low season.

However, Atlanta's decision may not be as immediate as expected.

Dan Graziano von ESPN reported on Sunday that cousins ​​'10 million squad bonus, which is still employed by the Falcons on March 17, is not a factor for the Atlanta schedule from the 36-year-old passers-by.

The falcons paid cousins ​​around 62.5 million US dollars in 2024 and he will earn $ 27.5 million in 2025, regardless of how many snapshots he plays. As such, Graziano said when Atlanta believes that cousins ​​have a legitimate brand, the additional 10 million US dollars have no effect on the team's decision.

But Graziano added that the “chances are stronger”. The falcons will not find a big market for cousins ​​and will release it “at some point”.

Cousins ​​signed a four-year contract worth up to $ 180 million last March. During the 2024 season he played only 14 games and completed 66.9% of his passports for 3,508 yards, 18 touchdowns and 16 interceptions.

In his last five starts, Cousins ​​only threw a touchdown and nine interceptions, while the falcons only went 1-4. He later said that in a week he had 10 against the New Orleans Saints, who started his slid, the right elbow and right shoulder injuries.

Atlanta replaced cousins ​​with Rookie in the first round, Michael Penix Jr., the 58-to-100 pass for 737 yards, three touchdowns, three interceptions and a rushing score as a starter. The Falcons went 1-2 during Penix 'starts, although both losses were overtime when Atlanta's defense on the first trip of the additional period of touchdowns allowed.

So what's next for cousins? Graziano believes that the New York Giants would be interested in cousins ​​”after its publication … and are available for an experienced minimum contract due to the high salary he will receive from Atlanta”.

The ESPN reporter of ESPN, Jeremy Fowler, threw up the Cleveland Browns as an option, and cousins, who spent several seasons with Browns coach Kevin Stefanski in Minnesota and will be cheap for everyone who will be cheap.

Surprisingly, Fowler also said that “not every team officer” has followed the idea that Atlanta will also publish Cousins ​​with his financial situation.

The general manager of Falcons, Terry Fontenot and head coach Raheem Morris have kept their cards near their chest, and their final decision may not really be known until the team announces them – which is expected in the next two weeks.
