Kirk Cousins already won the NFL offseason by finalizing a massive four-year, $180 million deal with the Atlanta Falcons on Wednesday.
The 36-year-old QB spent the past six seasons with the Minnesota Vikings and had his 2023 come to an abrupt end with an Achilles injury in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers.
The Falcons have been desperate for a QB since saying goodbye to Matt Ryan two years ago. Now they have their guy, and they’re already having some fun with him.
The team shared this goofy photo of Cousins on Wednesday, and it instantly became a meme.

Kirk Cousins is an unseasoned rotisserie chicken you’d by at Kohls, if they sold them, but only if you see $20 Kohls cash. https://t.co/YHikPCxY5I
