Overview

• Kirk Cousins reported to the first day of the Falcons' voluntary offseason program, confirmed by GM Terry Fontenot and coach Raheem Morris.
• Cousins’ attendance introduces potential financial liability for Atlanta if he is injured during workouts, complicating trade plans.
• The Falcons have struggled to trade Cousins due to his fully guaranteed salary, no-trade clause, and a potential $37.5 million dead cap hit if moved before June 1.
• At least three teams—the Steelers, Browns, and Vikings—have shown interest in acquiring Cousins, though no deal has been finalized.
• Cousins has expressed a desire to start elsewhere, while the Falcons remain open to trading him but are prepared to keep him as a backup if necessary.
