""You do, 100 percent," Morris told reporters last week. "You definitely have to go out and make some different plans when you talk about the offseason, but we'll talk about that and address that when we get there. "Right now we've got to prepare for the New Orleans Saints, and that's what we'll do. That's always got to be something that's on your mind, regardless, and definitely puts it on your mind a little bit more when this happens.""
"One option could be Kirk Cousins, who is slated to be Atlanta's starter Sunday at New Orleans. Cousins technically has two years remaining on his contract, but no more guaranteed money triggering. He is scheduled to make $35 million in base salary in each of the next two seasons -- a figure that some around the league would consider high for a player who has not played much dating to last season."
Michael Penix Jr. will undergo ACL reconstruction this week in Los Angeles, with sources projecting about a nine-month recovery. A nine-month timeline could make him potentially ready for the start of the 2026 season, but recovery timelines are uncertain, especially for players who have injured both ACLs. The Falcons retain hope that Penix will return but cannot predict timing, so the quarterback position must be addressed this offseason. Kirk Cousins could be an option; he is slated to start Sunday and has two years remaining on his contract with $35 million base salary each season. Atlanta could pursue a less expensive veteran and will likely draft a quarterback.
