Kirk Cousins sounds resigned to his sad Falcons fate
Share and Follow

Kirk Cousins might have already accepted his football fate. 

Cousins was at the Falcons’ mandatory minicamp on Tuesday and seemed to know that his days as a starting quarterback in the NFL might be over. 

“Obviously, you’d love to play,” Cousins told reporters. “But I’m not gonna dwell on things that aren’t reality.”

Cousins, 36, is coming off one of his worst seasons in the league in his 13-year career.

He started in 14 games for the Falcons, throwing 18 touchdowns and 16 interceptions with a QBR of 50.4 

His season came to an end after being benched for rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in week 16, as the Falcons missed out on the playoffs. 

Cousins is expected to take on the role of Penix’s backup this year, as Atlanta may find itself with the 36-year-old quarterback starting the 2025 season.

There was speculation that the Falcons would wait until the June 1 deadline to release the $180 million quarterback, but the deadline has passed, and Cousins remains on the team in Atlanta.

That leaves the only option for both parties — a trade.

Nevertheless, even that seems less likely with each passing day. 

The Steelers were the last team that desperately needed a quarterback but now have their guy in Aaron Rodgers.

Cousins said he’s not looking at the past and hopes the Falcons have success this year.

“Conversations took place in January, February, March, and even April, but we are now looking ahead,” stated Cousins. “Those were discussions from months ago. It’s time to look to the future. For now, I am focused on the current situation and giving my best performance. Hopefully, by February, our organization will be celebrating a Super Bowl victory.”
