Kirk Cousins, the Falcons quarterback, confirmed rumors of wanting to leave Atlanta during the offseason but emphasized his commitment to moving on as the new season approaches. With Michael Penix taking over as the starting quarterback, Cousins is likely to spend most of the 2025 season as a backup. Despite his disappointing performance last year, he has been a strong player historically. Cousins remains hopeful about the future, ready to step in if needed, but does not want to end his career as a backup.
"Obviously you'd love to play, but I'm not going to dwell on things that aren't reality. That's not the situation I am in, so it's better to be focused on the situation I'm in and control what you can control."
"Cousins does not want to spend the twilight of his career as a backup... he struggled in Atlanta last year - his 88.6 passer rating was his lowest as a full-time starter."
