Kirk Cousins has made it clear he’s committed to the Atlanta Falcons for the 2024 season. Speaking after the team’s minicamp practice on Tuesday, Cousins stated he’ll support second-year quarterback Michael Penix and focus on his current situation rather than dwelling on potential trades.
Cousins confirmed conversations with the team about trading him, but those talks are now over. He emphasized the importance of having a winning mindset as an organization and individually contributing to that goal. As part of his four-year deal signed last year, Cousins is set to earn $27.5 million in base salary for 2025, ensuring he’ll be with Atlanta unless an injury or unexpected change elsewhere occurs.
Cousins’ ideal scenario for the upcoming season is being a key contributor and ultimately winning a championship, which he believes requires individual effort as well as collective success. With his current focus on supporting Penix and helping the team succeed, Cousins appears committed to leading the Falcons in 2024.
