Officially, the Atlanta Falcons have decided to sign quarterback Kirk Cousins, a free agent, to a massive contract. The Cousins’ Vikings tenure is officially gone. According to numerous rumors, Cousins has decided to sign a four-year contract with the Falcons. After recovering from a torn Achilles injury, the standout quarterback should be ready for action in 2024.
Atlanta Falcons Are Breaking The Bank For Kirk Cousins
The Atlanta Falcons and Kirk Cousins, the best quarterback available as a free agent, have reached an agreement, according to sources. NFL Insider Dianna Russini stated, “The Falcons were going to go as far as they needed to make this happen, despite the Vikings’ strong push for Cousins’ services.”
With Kirk leading the team, the Falcons now have a chance to win their division handily.
According to sources, Kirk Cousins is joining the #Falcons on a four-year, $180 million contract that includes a $50 million signing bonus. Cousins will get a guaranteed $100 million, as well as $90 million in 2024 and 2025 and an additional $10 million in 2026, in addition to a fresh start in Atlanta at the age of 35.
The Atlanta Falcons Now Have A Very Scary Offense
With Cousins joining the squad, the offense is loaded from all angles. Kyle Pitts, Bijan Robinson, and Drake London will provide Cousins an abundance of weapons at his disposal. Since the NFC South is a weak division, Kirk might enter and take command of it.
This Atlanta team, with its star-studded young defense and an abundance of offensive weapons, was a quarterback away. Now that Kirk has signed, the team’s attack should be frightening in 2024. Raheem Morris, the team’s first-year head coach, has his work cut out for him as the team enters the following season with high expectations.
