NO DRAMA! Kirk Cousins Reports to Atlanta Falcons Minicamp | Will Kyle Pitts Bounce Back?
- Kirk Cousins is anticipated to participate in the Atlanta Falcons' mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, 2025, despite having lost his starting position during the 2024 season.

- Cousins likely will remain a backup for Atlanta in 2025 unless an injury occurs, but his attendance at minicamp offers a possible path for a trade if his performance attracts interest.
