After QB Kirk Cousins restructured his deal, he was pretty much done. Atlanta Falcons beat writer Josh Kendall had this to say about Kirk Cousins: “Quarterback Kirk Cousins has two years remaining on his contract but is expected to be released in early March after Atlanta restructured his contract so that he will be owed $68 million if he’s on the roster March 13. Cousins could be released and then re-signed if he doesn’t find a better option elsewhere, and the Falcons are interested in bringing him back on a less-expensive contract.” Falcons Today host Trace Moustakas believes that if the choice is to bring in a veteran on a much cheaper deal to backup Michael Penix Jr., then you can find someone cheaper than QB Kirk Cousins.

How many games will Michael Penix get to show his stuff?
Great news
I’d like see Tua in ATL. He could make this offense go
Wish Kirk the best wherever he goes in 2026
Come to Cleveland!!!!
Big mistake,they are better with him than Penex
THIS DOES NOT MEAN KIRK CANNOT RE-SIGN IN ATLANTA THEY RELEASE HIM AND THEN RE-SIGN HIM TO A CHEAPER DEAL – DON'T YOU FKCING GET THAT? THIS IS WHY HE REDID HIS DEAL SO HE COULD BE RELEASED SO HE CAN PICK HIS NEXT TEAM – WHICH MIGHT BE ATLANTA SMH DO SOME RESEARCH DUDE.
I hate that really like Kirk.
The kid from Texas, Clinton can't spell his last name played fairly well for the dolphins
I think Zach Wilson deserves a genuine second shot in the league, would love to sign him as a backup in free agency.
So who will be the QB backup when Penix gets hurt again 🤔
Since Atlanta won't do anything about the collapsible oline, they'll need an extremely mobile QB.
Penix is a bust.
Over paying any one player is a mistake, they're always expected to carry the team, I'll be hoping for success.
So who the hell going to play QB? Not the person with three major knee injuries 🤦
I wanted it to be Penix, but it’s not Penix
Laughing about an Amber alert isn’t cool
Wasting Bijan will be the worst thing to ever happen
How you leave Trinidad off as a option
Id rather kirk then any of the 4 qb u showed as cheap veterans. Maybe id take Huntley he still younger.
Hopefully Atlanta can get away from the “take over the trap” mentality. 😂😂
I have faith that Penix will perform under pressure! Let’s go Penix we need every ounce of love for the game you have in you next season!
As much as I love penix I agree that this is a prove it year. If he gets injured, if he plays bad. I think he become a backup. I think he can be one of the best backups. But he’s older and injury prone. I’d rather have a 22 year old QB making the same mistakes as penix. If he fails this year I think his career as a starter is over. I hate to say it but that’s unfortunately true
Yes Mike Pistol Penix
Moose actually hate mike for some reason. you are saying that with the most hate in your heart.😂😂 Sam Donald took 5 years to bloom now he is top ten
This is one of those moves where week 7 we'll be crying "Why did we let Kirk go??" when Penix gets hurt and we're leading the division
Counting on Penix doesn't make me feel good. He is a 2nd stringer at best.
As a lifelong Falcon fan, it is hard for me to believe that we won't be back here in the same situation talking about a new coach and a new GM in 3-5 years.
