Kirk Cousins sounds resigned to his sad Falcons fate
Share this @internewscast.com

Kirk Cousins might have already accepted his football fate. 

Cousins was at the Falcons’ mandatory minicamp on Tuesday and seemed to know that his days as a starting quarterback in the NFL might be over. 

“Obviously, you’d love to play,” Cousins told reporters. “But I’m not gonna dwell on things that aren’t reality.”

Cousins, 36, is coming off one of his worst seasons in the league in his 13-year career.

He started in 14 games for the Falcons, throwing 18 touchdowns and 16 interceptions with a QBR of 50.4 

His season came to an end after being benched for rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in week 16, as the Falcons missed out on the playoffs. 

Cousins is anticipated to take on the role of Penix’s backup this year, with Atlanta potentially beginning the 2025 season with the veteran quarterback, who is now 36 years old. 

There was speculation that the Falcons would release the $180 million quarterback by the June 1 deadline; however, that date has passed, and Cousins remains with Atlanta. 

That leaves the only option for both parties — a trade.

Nevertheless, even that seems less likely with each passing day. 

The Steelers were the last team that desperately needed a quarterback but now have their guy in Aaron Rodgers.

Cousins said he’s not looking at the past and hopes the Falcons have success this year.

“Indeed, discussions took place in January, February, March, and even into April, but we are progressing now,” Cousins commented. “Those were topics we addressed months back. Our focus now is on moving forward. Presently, I am concentrating on my current situation and striving to be the best I can be. Hopefully, come February, our organization will be celebrating with the Lombardi Trophy.”
