The Falcons signed Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract just last offseason, but his struggles in 2024 resulted in the team turning to Penix late in the campaign. Now, Penix is the team's starting quarterback, with Cousins being a potential trade candidate as the draft approaches.

Cousins showed up to the first day of the Falcons' offseason workouts on Tuesday, according to NFL Media's Mike Garafolo. That was in doubt after the Falcons kept Cousins on the roster this offseason but stated clearly that Michael Penix Jr. was their starter.

Kirk Cousins doesn't have a future as a starting quarterback with the Atlanta Falcons, but the soon-to-be 37-year-old quarterback is looking for a place to continue his NFL career. The NFL Draft is pivotal for Cousins to find his next home, as a team can't pull off what happened to him last year.
