"Cousins signed what's effectively a one-year deal with the Raiders, with some cap shenanigans that could make it a two-year pact if he ends up shining and Las Vegas is willing to pony up."
"The signing, which is for $1.3 million in base salary and carries a few nice perks, will give Atlanta $1.3 million in salary cap relief against the $10 million roster bonus they owed him."
"They're carrying $22.5 million in dead money this year, however. It's not a clean break, in other words, but after two seasons of largely forgettable football alongside a few moments of brilliance, the Falcons and Cousins have moved on."
Kirk Cousins signed a one-year deal with the Raiders, which could extend to two years based on performance. This signing provides the Falcons with $1.3 million in salary cap relief against a $10 million roster bonus owed to him. The Falcons will still carry $12.5 million in dead money next year, but this is their only dead money impacting the cap. Cousins will mentor a young quarterback while the Falcons evaluate potential future quarterbacks, signaling a mutual move in a new direction.
