Falcons, Kirk Cousins Agree to Restructured Contract After 2025 Season The Falcons will have a decision to make on Kirk Cousins’s future after reworking his deal.

JANUARY 6 • SI.COM

Reworks contract with Atlanta Cousins agreed Tuesday to restructure the final two seasons of his four-year, $180 million contract, Field Yates of ESPN.com reports.

Impact As part of the restructure, Cousins agreed to reduce his base salary for the 2026 season from a non-guaranteed $35 million to 2.1 million, but the amended deal doesn't necessarily mean that the veteran quarterback will stick around with Atlanta through the upcoming season. Cousins will still be guaranteed $67.9 million for the 2027 season, with that money vesting on March 13, the third day of the new league year. Given that Atlanta nor any other team would likely have interest in being tied to Cousins at the amount of money in 2027, the 37-year-old signal-caller may have to agree to another restructure, if the Falcons don't opt to designate him for a post-June 1 release. After opening the 2025 season in a backup role, Cousins reclaimed the starting job for the Falcons' final seven games after Michael Penix (knee) tore his ACL in Week 11. Over his 10 appearances (seven starts), Cousins completed 166 of 269 pass attempts (61.7 percent) for 1,721 yards, 10 touchdowns and five interceptions while tacking on another rushing touchdown.

NFL Week 18 Highlights: Broncos, Patriots, Rams Get Big Wins; Eagles Lose

3 biggest takeaways from Kirk Cousins' less-than-stellar Week 18 performance The Atlanta Falcons have a difficult decision on their hands pertaining to Kirk Cousins' future in Atlanta.

JANUARY 4 • BLOGGINGDIRTY.COM

Serviceable finish to season Cousins completed 18 of 32 passes for 180 yards with a touchdown and an interception while adding three carries for no gain in the Falcons' 19-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Impact Cousins, who was dealing with an illness that came on overnight, averaged a modest 5.6 yards per attempt and took four sacks, so it wasn't the smoothest of afternoons for the veteran signal-caller. However, Cousins was able to fire a 15-yard touchdown pass to Drake London late in the first quarter, and he displayed his usual chemistry with both his No. 1 receiver and tight end Kyle Pitts. Cousins opened the season with a bleak fantasy outlook and uncertain future as the No. 2 quarterback behind Michael Penix (IR, knee), but the former started the final seven games (and eight overall). Cousins completed 61.7 percent of his passes for 1,721 yards with a 10:5 TD:INT while adding 14 rushes for seven yards and another score across 10 appearances overall. Penix should have a solid chance of being ready for the start of the 2026 regular season, while Cousins remains under contract with the Falcons through the 2027 campaign.
