Kirk Cousins' Falcons Future in Doubt After Struggles and Injuries

The veteran quarterback reflects on a challenging season, citing injuries and uncertainty about his role with Atlanta moving forward.

Kirk Cousins revealed he played through right shoulder, elbow, and ankle injuries during the 2024 season, which he says impacted his performance.
The Atlanta Falcons benched Cousins in December in favor of rookie Michael Penix Jr. following a five-game stretch where Cousins threw nine interceptions and only one touchdown.
Cousins signed a four-year, $180 million contract with Atlanta in 2024 but now faces an uncertain future, with the Falcons reportedly committed to Penix as their starting quarterback.
Atlanta could explore trading Cousins, but his no-trade clause and significant cap implications complicate the team's options.
Cousins insists he has 'a lot of good football left' and is focused on regaining full health, leaving open the possibility of continuing his career with Atlanta or another team.
