During the NFL Combine, Falcons GM Terry Fontenot addressed Kirk Cousins' recent claims regarding an injury sustained in a game against the Saints, revealing that the team had no prior awareness of these lingering issues. Despite Cousins being benched later in the season and his performance deteriorating, the Falcons are considering retaining him as a backup player. However, the financial implications of keeping Cousins, with a potential $65m dead cap penalty for cutting him, raise concerns about effective team-building moving forward.
"Cousins' recent comments regarding his lingering injury issues shocked the Falcons' management, as they had no prior knowledge of his condition after Week 10."
"Terry Fontenot indicated that the approach is for Kirk Cousins to remain on the roster as a backup, despite the substantial dead cap implications we would incur."
