Kirk Cousins has been ridiculed and derided for his inability to win enough big games or take his teams on deep playoff runs. However, he still has a lot of value in the NFL as a productive, veteran quarterback. It just won’t be with the Minnesota Vikings anymore. The Atlanta Falcons are going to find out what Cousins has left. Cousins agreed to a deal with the Falcons, according to multiple media reports, including ESPN’s Adam Schefter. That move has been rumored for a few days, and now the… Source link

Once again, Kirk Cousins won the checkbook Super Bowl. And once again, the victory will ripple across the NFL and into a multitude of different franchises, impacting the landscape of contract extensions, trades and the forthcoming draft. The subtext of Cousins’ four-year, $180 million pact with the Atlanta Falcons, includes $100 million in hard guarantees that will boost his earnings to at least $321 million over the course of his career. It’s another win in a long line of victories for… Source link

After falling 27-24 to the Atlanta Falcons, Justin Fields was carted off the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Coming into the game, Fields was 0-5 on the year when he had the opportunity to rally the Bears to victory from a… Source link

The Falcons are unlikely to be a good team overall this year. However, I’m growing more convinced their offense might be a pretty interesting unit and give us at least three every-week fantasy starters. Arthur Smith has a strangely fussy relationship with the media but I think he nailed his Week 1 player deployment. Kyle Pitts lined up out wide on just 25.7 percent of his routes. I know everyone has hot takes about how good Pitts could be as a legitimate X-receiver but he’s a tight end. We… Source link

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is expected to play on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Thomas had been listed as questionable earlier in the week due to a hamstring injury he’s been dealing with for the past several weeks. He got that hamstring injury while rehabbing his ankle, which is why he’s missed so much time. He sustained a high ankle sprain in Week 1 of the 2020 season, and while he was able to play on it after missing six… Source link

The Falcons traded their longtime franchise cornerstone to the Indianapolis Colts for a 2022 third-round draft pick, per multiple media reports.
