Looking at Kirk Cousins's potential 2025 destinations
With the Falcons benching quarterback Kirk Cousins for rookie Michael Penix, Jr., it's highly likely that Cousins will be moving on in 2025.
With the Falcons benching quarterback Kirk Cousins for rookie Michael Penix, Jr., it's highly likely that Cousins will be moving on in 2025.
So what are his best possible destinations?
We did a draft on Wednesday's PFT Live, with three possibilities each. Plus one bonus team.
The real question is this. What do other teams think Cousins can do?
As one source put it, Cousins's arm is currently dead. That's believed to be a result of his inability to use his lower body to muster full power on his throws. It stands to reason that, after 14 games of compensating for protecting his surgically-repaired Achilles tendon, he's out of gas.
Will he get it back for 2025?
If he refuses to waive his no-trade clause and forces the Falcons to release him, signing him for the league minimum (with the Falcons on the hook for the balance between that and $27.5 million) becomes a steal. Someone would surely give him a chance, at that price tag.
We'll see how it plays out. With only three games left in the regular season and less than three months until the start of free agency, the answers are coming sooner than later.
