The Atlanta Falcons and Kirk Cousins will reportedly part ways after the season, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The 36-year-old quarterback, who is in his first season with the Falcons, is expected to be cut before March 17, which is when he is due a $10 million roster bonus.
Following head coach Raheem Morris’ decision to bench Cousins for rookie Michael Penix Jr. for the rest of the season, it all but confirmed that Cousins time in Atlanta was over.
Cousins signed a four-year, $180 million deal in the offseason to join the Falcons after six seasons with the Minnesota Vikings. A month and an half after that free agent deal, Atlanta used the No. 8 overall pick in the NFL Draft on Penix.
