With Michael Penix Jr. hurt again and Kirk Cousins too expensive to retain, the Atlanta Falcons know they'll have to address their QB woes this coming offseason. Penix's absence is likely to extend into the start of next season, meaning the Falcons have to set their sights on short-term bridge options.
Cousins is under contract through 2027. but the Dirty Birds are expected to exercise the out in his deal in order to save money this offseason. This means that the Falcons will be right back to square one in QB purgatory, meaning Terry Fontenot will likely bring a familiar name to Atlanta this spring.
