It's no secret that Kirk Cousins' time in Atlanta is coming to a screeching halt. Near the end of his inaugural season with the Atlanta Falcons, Cousins struggled heavily and was permanently benched for Michael Penix Jr.
Nearly a year later, the gigantic contract given to the 37-year-old seems like a massive overpay, and all his value has nearly dried up. The Falcons have an option to cut him after this season, but it would take a $35 million dead cap hit. All speculation over the offseason hinted he'd either be traded or cut by now, and neither happened.
