Kirk Cousins is still a member of the Falcons of Atlanta, but perhaps not for a long time if there is a team that really wants it.
The former Falcons leaving the quarter-Arrière asked and received a meeting with the owner of the Arthur Blank team on Wednesday, during which he declared that he wanted a business to a team where he can be the starter, according to Albert Breer of the MMQB.
Falcons have essentially refused to comment, saying that they would do what is best for the team.

At this point, obtaining cousins and its $ 180 million contract on books are probably the best for the team if it did not plan to start it in the center. Cousins is a year in this four -year agreement, but was bench last December in the middle of a dull season.
The recruit of the first round Michael Penix, whose selection would have been a surprise for cousins after committing to Atlantahas taken over for the last three games of the season and had his momentsSo much so that the Director General of Falcons, Terry Fontenot, said during the combination of Scouting NFL last week This penix is now the starter for 2025.
The turn of events left cousins as anchor in the Falcon’s assessment. It has a bonus of alignment of $ 10 million on March 17, with a basic salary of $ 27.5 million for the 2025 season. The cost was large enough for Falcons would have planned to cut itBut now the plan has apparently changed.
At 36, Cousins is one of the ancient QB of the NFL and two complete seasons withdrawn from its latest selection of Pro Bowl, and from Place in the playoffs, but He blamed the injuries of the shoulder, elbow and ankle for his dull performance last year. If a team believes that it can be healthy during the offseason and has the ceiling space for him, it will be clearly available.
