Shortly after Atlanta’s 2023 campaign ended, the Falcons parted ways with head coach Arthur Smith, paving the way for the team to bring in Raheem Morris, even though there was talk of the team inevitably hiring legendary head coach Bill Belichick. After making Morris the leader on the sideline, the next order of business was landing a veteran quarterback in NFL free agency ..read more

New Falcons head coach Raheem Morris has finally given some insight into what went into that selection.

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)   It has been a few weeks since the NFL Draft, and everyone is still recovering from the shock of the Atlanta Falcons drafting Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the No. 8 overall pick even after giving Kirk Cousins a 4-year, $180 million deal this offseason. Many thought the Falcons were simply a quarterback away from competing over the past few years, and now they have two QBs, but fans are waiting for answers on how this situation is going to shake out.

(Photo by Jesse Grant/Getty Images for Tostitos)   Kirk Cousins is one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in recent NFL history. As good a player as he is, his salary and all the money he’s made throughout his career has always been a talking point when discussing his legacy — and not always in a good way. However, even though he’s had a couple of bucks to spare for quite some time now, the new Atlanta Falcons quarterback is a very responsible spender. Talking on the “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast, Cousins revealed that he’s always wanted to buy himself a sports car. Kirk Cousins might be ..read more

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)   After six pretty successful years with the Minnesota Vikings, veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins hit NFL free agency this year and seemed prepared to leave the team, with the Atlanta Falcons being his most likely destination. Even though Cousins was coming off a season in which an Achilles injury ended his year, the Falcons were convinced that Cousins was the right man for the job under center in Atlanta and were willing to pay him $100 million guaranteed to prove it. Although the Falcons made a significant investment in Cousins to be their starting qu ..read more

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)   One thing that the Falcons cannot afford to have happen in 2024 is injuries. That cannot happen because their talented, yet young roster isn’t good enough to overcome injuries. Their new quarterback in four-time Pro-Bowler Kirk Cousins is coming off of his own Achilles injury that shut him down for 2023. Everyone needs to be healthy for this team to truly be great. Apparently, they aren’t off to a great start in that department. According to Falcons reporter Tori McElhaney, running backs Bijan Robinson (ankle) and Jase McClellan (foot), along with Al ..read more

In fact, new footage has just been released by Atlanta’s social media team of that capable franchise quarterback in Kirk Cousins.

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)   The Atlanta Falcons have had a surprising offseason, with one of their most eye-opening moves being hiring Raheem Morris as the next head coach when many assumed Bill Belichick would be next up. One of Morris’ biggest tasks will be unlocking one of the team’s biggest weapons, a guy many fans have been begging to see more of in recent years. After years of mediocre quarterback play hindering his production, tight end Kyle Pitts is the guy Morris is hoping to get the “best version” of in 2024 now that Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix Jr. are quarterbacki ..read more

(Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)   After a disappointing 2023 NFL season in which the team failed to live up to expectations and was bested by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints in the NFC South division, the Atlanta Falcons have pulled out all the stops during the NFL offseason in order to get this struggling franchise back on track. Obviously, the most significant move the team has made during the offseason thus far has been signing veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins to a four-year deal, with $100 million of that contract being fully guaranteed. Although it is a risk with Cou ..read more
