Kirk Cousins breaks silence on Falcons future after previous trade request

After the majority of speculation, Kirk cousins ​​addressed in the future with Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday, the first day of the team’s mainstream minicamamp.

Cousins ​​that enters the second year of four years, $ 180 million contract, demanded a trade first this offseason after lost its starting job at both-rookie Michael Penix Jr. during the last three weeks in 2024 times. But with minicamp underway, training Camp roughly six weeks away and with just about every other starting quarterback vacancy already filled, cousins ​​appears to be resigned to the fact that he will likely remain in Atlanta for the upcoming season.

“We moving forward” Cousins ​​said“And it’s how we get a team in the quarterback room can be the best we can be in 2025”

Obviously, there’s a chance that the kids gets traded at some point, especially if one of the NFL’s Another 31 teams suffers in time-ending injury to their starting quarterback. But it is based on the cousin of Mars, which seems to be that it is not advocating to trade. If you trade now, it appears that it was initiated by the Falcons, who in the place would then have to find capable of the penix. Cousins ​​would also have to sign off in some possible trade to include a contract includes a zero trade closing.

Speaking of the Penix, there’s no guarantee that ceases in the panning of the Atlanta. While showing the promise in the last weeks of 2024 times the first-in pick up finished with the underwhelming 58.1% Completion percentage while throwing the more interception (three) to touchdown transit. Penix’s lack of experience, indeed, is the cause of why I love the hard bargain with the teams called the cousins ​​before this offseason. While you can be a team’s starter, kidding yet has a value to an overly qualified backup.

It’s safe to say that Falcons don’t prefer to pay a back from the starter’s salary (cousins ​​with debt $ 27.5 million guaranteed at this time). It’s also safe to get to assume that your consanguinas is not to be back. And when both are true, which is true that the falcons have arguably NFL’s The best back quarterback in the kidding, and the cousins ​​has a luxury of getting paid a lot of money without responsibility of being QB1. Basically is imperfect perfect marriage does not seem to be over just again.

As said Tuesday, the cousin preparing to move Atlanta, but quit that talks about the future with the scythe far from the most training camp and the beginning of regular season.
