Kirk Cousins Will Remain with Falcons as Backup QB for Michael Penix Jr., GM Says
ESPN predicts Falcons QB Kirk Cousins' next NFL team
Last year, Cousins passed for 3,508 yards, 18 touchdowns and 16 interceptions before Penix took over. The Falcons are currently $5.2 million over the cap and would add a $40 million dead cap hit by releasing Cousins after June 1.

Falcons predicted to lose key offensive piece for Michael Penix Jr. to TexansThe Atlanta Falcons face key decisions in free agency, and one of their best offensive players could be on the move.
The Atlanta Falcons experienced a major shift in their quarterback situation. After signing Kirk Cousins to a lucrative deal, his performance faltered
The Falcons drafted Michael Penix Jr. and signed Kirk Cousins last year. Terry Fontenot was asked if his time with the Saints influenced the decision:
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams was the highest-rated prospect in ESPN's pre-draft rankings. Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars was second while Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow was ranked third. Penix was ranked 19th out of 21 total prospects listed, one spot ahead of Shedeur Sanders.
Outside of their bad deal at quarterback, and a not-great financial situation, the Falcons are in a solid place this offseason.
