The Atlanta Falcons and Kirk Cousins will reportedly part ways after the season. according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The 36-year-old quarterback, who is in his first season with the Falcons, is expected to be released by March 17, which is when he is due a $10 million roster bonus.
After head coach Raheem Morris announced this week that rookie Michael Penix Jr. would take over at quarterback for the remainder of the season, a split with Cousins seemed inevitable.
Cousins signed a four-year, $180 million contract in the offseason to join the Falcons after six seasons with the Minnesota Vikings. Two months after that free agent deal, Atlanta used the No. 8 overall pick in the NFL draft on Penix.
