ATLANTA -- Quarterback Kirk Cousins hasn't won many playoff games in his career (1-3), but he's done well in landing lucrative deals.

Cousins' latest is a four-year, $180 million contract - including $100 million guaranteed - with the Atlanta Falcons, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. After making over $230 million during his time with the Minnesota Vikings (2018-23) and Washington (2012-17), he will top $400 million if he plays all four years in Atlanta.

It didn't take the Falcons long to address a QB situation that has been in flux since they traded Matt Ryan to the Indianapolis Colts in March 2022.
