The Falcons are going to have a busy offseason building the team around their new franchise quarterback in Michael Penix Jr., but they’ll also have to make a decision on Kirk Cousins’ future.

The Falcons have a crucial decision to make on a potential Kirk Cousins trade, but they aren't in a rush to make a move.

Atlanta has competed in the NFC South race throughout the season, but Cousins struggled in the second half. The 36-year-old threw just one touchdown compared to nine interceptions over a five-game stretch prior to being benched, and the Falcons went 1-4 in those games.

The Falcons signed Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract this offseason in the hopes he was the missing piece that could thrust them back into the playoffs. But Atlanta was officially eliminated from postseason contention Sunday afternoon.

The Atlanta Falcons have reportedly made a decision on the future of Kirk Cousins, who lost his starting job to Michael Penix Jr.

If the Atlanta Falcons are going to make a playoff push, coach Raheem Morris and quarterback Kirk Cousins both know the 13-year veteran needs to improve his play over the last three games of the seaso

According to NFL Insider James Palmer, the Atlanta Falcons believe Kirk Cousins time in the NFL could be over.

As it turns out, the Atlanta Falcons are not yet ready to cut the cord entirely on Kirk Cousins. With Michael Penix Jr. the present and future of this franchise, the Dirty Birds are trying to create some leverage when it comes to their depreciated asset.
