Falcons GM Terry Fontenot says he’s perfectly comfortable with Kirk Cousins being a $100-million backup QB in ‘25

Falcons get zero cap savings by releasing Cousins but get significant relief if a team trades for him because his salary is guaranteed. The QB wall is 37 which Cousins turns in 2025. I can see Cousins riding a bench for a year and out the league in 2026. His agent should be actively working for a trade and starting gig if Cousins wants to play.
