    The Atlanta Falcons will be riding with Michael Penix Jr. as the starting quarterback for the 2025 season. Penix started in the final couple of games for Atlanta in the 2024 NFL season and Kirk Cousins was benched.

    Cousins has three years remaining on his contract, but many are wondering if he is going to finish the 2025 season with the Falcons. Atlanta having him as a backup quarterback will no doubt be an insurance for this team if Penix were to be injured, but Cousins maybe better off elsewhere starting for someone else during the 2025 NFL season.

    NFL Analyst Thinks That Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Kirk Cousins Is Going To Start Elsewhere At Some Point During the 2025 NFL Season

    Jeffri Chadiha of nfl.com made 10 different bold predictions for the upcoming 2025 NFL season. There are questions about whether or not Cousins will be with Atlanta for the entire 2025 season. One of the bold predictions Chadiha said for the 2025 NFL season will be,

    “Kirk Cousins will start for another team this year.”

    Well, it will be interesting to see if another team will need a quarterback in case someone gets hurt during training camp. For now, it appears as if no team will be interested in trading for Cousins. During the 2024 NFL season with Atlanta, he completed 66.9% of his passes for 3,508 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions.

    Cousins is 36 years old. One team who could make a trade for him if there is an injury to a quarterback could be the Miami Dolphins if Tua Tagovailoa gets injured once again. Chadiha also said about Cousins potentially starting elsewhere in 2025,

    “It’s so difficult to navigate an NFL season, and it’s a safe bet that some hopeful team eventually will need quarterback help because of injury. Prescott was one of four different signal-callers who didn’t finish last season because of injury. Two years ago, the Browns started five quarterbacks, while the Vikings and Jets each started four. It’s a fact of life: Quarterbacks go down in this league.

     

    This is why Cousins has a decent shot of playing some place this year. It didn’t work out in Atlanta — the Falcons gave him $100 million in guaranteed money as a free agent last offseason and then gave his job to rookie Michael Penix Jr. for the final three games — but the franchise didn’t deal Cousins over the past few months. That leaves him trying to play the good soldier as a backup until a viable opportunity arises. If history tells us anything, some team will come calling for him sooner or later.”

    It remains to be seen what will happen. The Cleveland Browns would be an interesting destination for Cousins. He is familiar with head coach Kevin Stefanski.

    Stefanski was the offensive coordinator with the Minnesota Vikings when Cousins was the quarterback. Atlanta for now is better off keeping Cousins as its backup issue insurance on the roster, but there is a chance that maybe the Falcons could cut him before the start of the 2025 NFL season as well. It remains to be seen how it will all play out for them.
