Kirk Cousins, the veteran quarterback, has been absent from the Atlanta Falcons’ voluntary organized team activities (OTAs) on Tuesday, fueling speculation about his potential trade status. The Falcons, who signed Cousins to a four-year, $18,000,000 deal in 2024, have reportedly drafted Michael Penix Jr. as their starting quarterback, resulting in Cousins being benched. Despite this, the team has not demonstrated a strong interest in trading Cousins, and his absence was expected. His future remains uncertain as potential trade options like the Pittsburgh Steelers are speculated, though Aaron Rodgers’ decision may sway the situation.
