    Kirk Cousins’ role with the Atlanta Falcons might be in jeopardy as the team wholly decides to get behind newbie Michael Penix Jr. as starting quarterback. NFL analyst Albert Breer recently spilled more details on this in an article for Sports Illustrated on Monday.

    Cousins joined the Atlanta Falcons in the previous NFL season and was expected to be a major improvement to the team’s roster. However, his performance for the team was not so great. It looks like the team is making great efforts to groom and train Michael Penix Jr. as the starting quarterback for this season, after selecting the player as the eighth pick in the very first round of the 2024 NFL draft.

    “The focus with the Atlanta Falcons is squarely on developing Michael Penix Jr…. Quietly, the pieces of an offense to best fit Penix are being put together—in a way they couldn’t have been last year with Atlanta locked into having Cousins under center. His teammates are solidly behind him [Michael Penix Jr.]. Because he’s proven to be so football smart, the coaches believe in him. And while the Cousins situation is still hovering, it’s sort of become an out-of-sight, out-of-mind thing for the people inside. The veteran’s been around less than a handful of time this spring, as I’ve heard it, and has effectively blended in with the wallpaper when he has been in the building,” Albert Breer said about Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons in his latest article for Sports Illustrated.

    Before playing for the Atlanta Falcons, Kirk Cousins played a few seasons with the Minnesota Vikings and before that played for the Washington Commanders. Cousins started off his NFL career with Washington after the team selected him as the 102nd pick in the fourth round of the 2012 draft.

    Meanwhile, Kirk Cousins’ Atlanta Falcons will be locking horns with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season. Before taking on the Buccaneers, the Falcons will be stretching their wings with three preseason games against the Detroit Lions, the Tennessee Titans and the Dallas Cowboys.

    In the previous NFL season, the Atlanta Falcons finished second in the NFC South after winning eight games and losing nine. The Falcons played their final game of the season against the Carolina Panthers, losing 44-38 in overtime. The team will be eager to do better in the forthcoming football season.
