Kirk Cousins absent for start of Falcons’ OTAs as trade buzz swirls around $180 million QB
NY Post
The Falcons began voluntary OTAs on Tuesday without their $180 million quarterback.
Kirk Cousins was not in attendance for this phase of offseason activities, head coach Raheem Morris confirmed, as the 36-year-old signal caller looks to start elsewhere in 2025 after losing the top job to then-rookie Michael Penix Jr. last season.
“I did not see him today,” Morris said in Tuesday’s press conference, per Pro Football Talk. “[H]e did not show up in the meetings, so I did not see him today.”
Cousins is about 14 months removed from signing a four-year, $180 million pact with the Falcons that includes a no-trade clause and is worth $100 million guaranteed.
Although Cousins upgraded Atlanta’s QB room last spring, Falcons brass took things a step further in April 2024 when they selected quarterback Penix with the eighth overall pick in the draft.
The Falcons went 7-7 under Cousins before he was benched for Penix, 25, entering Week 16.
