Falcons make $10 million decision on Kirk Cousins
NY Post
Kirk Cousins is staying in Atlanta — for now.
The Falcons have decided to keep Cousins on their roster past 4 p.m. ET, which means that his $10 million roster bonus for 2026 will become guaranteed, according to multiple reports.
However, the Falcons, in the end, might not be on the hook for some or even any of the $10 million.
The deal, according to NFL Network, comes with offset language, which means that if Cousins plays for another team in 2026, that franchise will pay part or all of the roster bonus.
The decision comes on the heels of a report last week from Sports Illustrated that said Cousins recently met with Falcons owner Arthur Blank in hopes of going to a place where he can be a starter.
However, as The Athletic reported, the Falcons told teams that they had no intentions of moving the 36-year-old Cousins.
