Atlanta Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot says the team is “very comfortable” with keeping Kirk Cousins on the roster next season as the backup quarterback behind Michael Penix Jr.

After a disastrous 2024 season, nobody is buying that Kirk Cousins will be back with the Atlanta Falcons next season

The Atlanta Falcons fell short of expectations in 2024 but still showed a ton of promise. General manager Terry Fontenot addressed the media on Thursday as the team prepares for what’s likely to be a busy offseason.

Post sports betting writer Dylan Svoboda is in his first season in the NFL Bettor’s Guide. Coming off an impressive 36-33 win over the Eagles, the Commanders are looking every bit like the playoff team their record says they are. The Falcons are the opposite, boasting a win-loss mark that belies their talent level.

Washington’s fourth-ranked pass defense will present a stiff test for Penix, who passed for 202 yards and no TDs against the lowly Giants last week. Meanwhile, Daniels is coming off a stellar performance in a rousing three-point win over Philadelphia, passing for five TDs. He also ranks second among NFL QBs in rushing yards with 737.
