Atlanta Falcons may not go from Kirk Cousins- however.
The director general of Falcons, Terry Fontenot, said that Cousins will remain with the team in the foreseeable future on Tuesday at the NFL Draft combines, via the NFL network.
Cousins, 36, was set up in favor of the quarter-arre recruit Michael Penix Jr. after having had trouble last season.

Cousins was put on the bench despite the signing of a $ 180 million contract over four years with 100 million dollars guaranteed before last season.
Things started well for cousins and hawks because they were 6-3 and at the top of the NFC South.
Then the team imploded while the game of cousins has worsened. In the last five cousin games as a starter, he only launched one hit with nine interceptions when the team made a sequence of four consecutive defeats.
The team had a 7-7 sheet when Penix took over for cousins, their chances in the playoffs having gone from once to a long-term shot. Penix went 1-2 with two overtime defeats during its three departures, and the Falcons missed the playoffs.

Fontenot congratulated cousins for how he managed downgrades.
“Kirk managed this very well at the end of the season,” said Fontenot via NBC Sports. “Obviously, Kirk is a truly talented player, he is a great man, all these things. Again, he managed this role well at the end of the season.”
The leaders of the NFL expected the cousins published before the quarterrier became a bonus of $ 10 million on March 17, according to an ESPN report from December. However, Fontenot’s comments Tuesday give the impression that Cousins is going anywhere.

This $ 10 million bonus will count for the salary ceiling of Falcons in 2026, by Spotrac.
In addition to the alignment bonus, the basic salary of $ 27.5 million in cousins, which he would receive if he remained on the list of Falcons, would make him an incredibly expensive quarter.
Complete things for falcones, it is if they want to go from cousins via a trade, the quarterrier should give up its complete non-exchange clause. According to the ESPN report, Cousins should not give it up to help the Falcons.
