Atlanta Falcons coach Raheem Morris expressed that quarterback Kirk Cousins is unlikely to join the team’s voluntary offseason program due to ongoing negotiations concerning his role and future at the franchise. Cousins has communicated his desire to be a starting quarterback despite the team favoring Michael Penix Jr. for that role. While Morris notes understanding of the situation without letting it become a distraction, he also acknowledges that the team would consider trading Cousins if beneficial opportunities arise, despite his no-trade clause.
"I'm not going to be foolish to think that he's going to show up for voluntary work. Right now, we're dealing with a business-like mode..."
"Cousins was benched in Week 16 after a five-game stretch with nine interceptions and just one touchdown pass."
