Kirk Cousins' time with the Atlanta Falcons appears to be over after being benched for Michael Penix Jr. due to poor performance, including just one touchdown and nine interceptions in recent games.

The Falcons face a significant salary cap hit if they release Cousins, likely opting for a post-June 1 cut. Meanwhile, Cousins may find limited options for starting roles in 2025, prompting speculation about potential landing spots such as the Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans, and San Francisco 49ers.
