Among this offseason's most pressing quarterback questions is the future of Kirk Cousins—a veteran superstar who had one of the worst, if not the worst, five-game stretches of his career last season. He was then benched in favor of Atlanta Falcons rookie Michael Pennix Jr., and, in a telling show of humility, even he seemed to understand why.
As far as options moving forward, the Falcons could trade Cousins—though he does have a no-trade clause—or use him as backup QB come the fall, which general manager Terry Fontenot has said he'd be "very comfortable" with. But the 36-year-old signal caller is due a guaranteed salary of $27.5 million in 2025, which is a lot of money to be paying a QB2.
