Kevin Stefanski was named the Falcons’ new head coach on Jan. 17 following the six seasons he spent with the Browns before being fired earlier this month.
Stefanski is taking on an Atlanta team that is ready for more success. For starters, though, the Falcons need to figure out their quarterback situation moving forward. Notably, Atlanta signed veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million deal before drafting Michael Penix Jr. a month later back in spring 2024. After repeated disappointing performances from Cousins, Penix took over as the starter. However, Penix suffered a season-ending knee injury this past season, giving Cousins the opportunity again to start for the Falcons.
