Falcons now must decide what the future looks like at quarterback

Photo by Justin Casterline/ Atlanta’s set for the short-term, but the importance of having a succession plan is difficult to overstate. The Atlanta Falcons have accounted for the present. For the first time since shipping Matt Ryan out of town—and arguably before then, depending on how much you think Ryan had declined before he left—the Falcons have a solidly above-average player at quarterback. The next two-to-three years are set, barring catastrophe, and Kirk Cousins will be under center and hoping to lead a resurgent Falcons offense to greater glory. The...

Kirk Cousins will not be on the 49ers in 2024. Shocker!

Photo by Jorge Lemus/NurPhoto via We marked it down like some said, and it never happened. Kirk Cousins and Kyle Shanahan will not reunite in 2024 on the San Francisco 49ers. Just like we said in 2023. Just like we said in 2022. Just like 2021. Kirk Cousins is off to the Atlanta Falcons. Anyone can say the same thing over and over again and be right once. At some point, perhaps regurgitating this prediction may lead to one where someone can tell us how they were so smart. Right now, those who said it are wrong. Again. As you are already saying in the comments, this...

Why Kirk Cousins for the Falcons? Familiarity and fit figure in

Why Kirk Cousins for the Falcons? Familiarity and fit figure in

Photo by Stephen Maturen/ Raheem Morris doesn’t just know Kirk Cousins, he knows what a player like Kirk Cousins can do. When Kirk Cousins began his career, he did so as the backup to Robert Griffin III in Washington. While Raheem Morris was no longer in Washington when Cousins seized the full-time starting job and broke out in 2015, those three years gave Morris a chance to see a young, promising quarterback begin to find his way in the league in relief of Griffin, whose career was ultimately derailed by injury. The next stop for Morris was Atlanta, where he spent...

Kirk Cousins signing brings Falcons generally good reviews in 2024 NFL free agency

Kirk Cousins signing brings Falcons generally good reviews in 2024 NFL free agency

Matt Krohn-USA TODAY Sports No matter what the national pundits think, it’s hard to be pessimistic about the Falcons’ free agency moves. There’s no trophy for winning the offseason, and opinions about which teams won and lost free agency have zero bearing on how the team will actually perform in 2024. That said, the Falcons have been busy since the legal tampering — whoops, early negotiating period (let’s pump the brakes on tossing around the t-word since the NFL is investigating the Falcons for potential t-wording around the Kirk Cousins signing). The...

Per a league source, the NFL is looking into potential tampering by the Eagles and the Falcons related to the free-agent signings of Saquon...

The Falcons were not finished shuffling around their quarterback room with just the signing of Kirk Cousins. According to WSB’s Zach Klein, the team was on the verge of trading quarterback Desmond Ridder, who started 13 games and appeared in 15 in 2023, earlier this afternoon and they made a deal quickly after that with the Arizona Cardinals. After two seasons, Ridder’s time in Atlanta has officially come to an end. They will receive...

The Atlanta Falcons could make it official Wednesday afternoon that Kirk Cousins was their new starting quarterback, and they were happy to do so. The announcement came earlier today after the official beginning of the new NFL league year, and then Cousins had the opportunity to meet with media and field questions. With the exception of one hiccup that we’ll get to late in this story, he made a good first impression. Cousins made it clear that...

Matt Krohn-USA TODAY Sports In an illegal way, we mean Oh, you thought we were done talking about Kirk Cousins, did you? Well. . .too bad. But, in this case, some folks will probably be happy about it. Cousins had his introductory press conference with the Atlanta Falcons tonight, and during that presser said the following: “There’s great people here,” Cousins said. “And it’s not just the football team.
