The NFL offseason has reached the Third Phase with 20 teams starting OTAs. The Falcons made headlines with head coach Raheem Morris confirming that veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins is absent from these voluntary workouts, reinforcing his desire to leave the team by the 2025 season. The team's commitment to second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has likely contributed to Cousins' discontent. Additionally, starting tight end Kyle Pitts was also missing from practice. Mandatory minicamp is set for next month, which will further define the team's offseason direction.
Cousins has made his intentions clear: he wants to play elsewhere in 2025, as he was benched last season after struggles, making his OTA absence unsurprising.
The Falcons' commitment to Michael Penix Jr. has exacerbated Cousins' frustrations, leading to his absence at OTAs while the team commences its offseason.
