If Kirk Cousins is released by the Atlanta Falcons this offseason, he may find a surprising landing spot in the AFC.

During that span, Cousins threw just one touchdown and nine interceptions. He led the league with 16 interceptions at the time of his benching.Cousins's struggles left the Falcons with no choice but to put in Penix.

The Falcons drafted Washington standout Michael Penix Jr. in the first round, which was a surprise to Cousins. Penix, who was considered one of the more pro-ready quarterback prospects in the class, will make his first NFL start this Sunday against the New York Giants.

Linebacker JD Bertrand, a fifth-round pick, has played 131 snaps. Defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro, a second-round pick, has played 104. Defensive tackle Brandon Dorlus, a fourth-round pick, has played 19 and was inactive for the 12th time on Sunday.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Daniel Oyefusi reported Thursday that one team's offseason evaluations at quarterback will include Atlanta Falcons signal caller Kirk Cousins.

An interesting AFC team is reportedly a front-runner to land quarterback Kirk Cousins if he doesn’t return to the Atlanta Falcons in 2025. The first season of the four-year, $180 million deal Kirk Cousins signed in Atlanta was a massive letdown,

Cousins had Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski as a quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator when both were with the Minnesota Vikings during the 2018 and 2019 campaigns.
