US EditionKirk Cousins not expected for Falcons' offseason workouts
- Falcons coach Raheem Morris indicated in April that the club will consider trading quarterback Kirk Cousins, who signed a four-year, $180 million contract with the team last March, but intends to keep him as the backup to Michael Penix Jr.
- Cousins, who is 36 years old, signed the contract after the Falcons invested in him last year, but he lost his starting job after struggling in his return from a torn Achilles tendon.
- Cousins has expressed his desire to be a starting quarterback, leading to speculation about a potential trade, possibly to the Cleveland Browns, and Morris stated the team "won't hold him back if opportunity presents itself."
- Cousins' contract includes a no-trade clause and $100 million guaranteed, with $37.5 million due this season and a $10 million roster bonus paid on March 17, potentially complicating trade negotiations.
- Although a trade to the Browns appears unlikely, given that they still need a starting quarterback and Cousins is familiar with head coach Kevin Stefanski, the Falcons and Cousins are continuing to work through the situation, and Cousins' recent appearances in Ohio sparked trade rumors.
