Kirk Cousins' Future Takes Shape After Restructuring Talks with Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons have restructured the guarantees in the last two years of quarterback Kirk Cousins' contract, which could make it easier for the franchise to release him ahead of the free agency period. The move has sparked speculation about Cousins' future, particularly if he decides not to return to the Falcons.

As part of the restructure, there is now a guarantee of $67.9 million for the 2027 season that vests on March 13. This could create an incentive for Cousins to seek a new team by this date, given the financial implications for any new employer. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the restructuring has led some to believe Cousins' future may not be with the Falcons.

Cousins himself expressed uncertainty about his future in an interview after the Falcons' win over the Saints on Sunday. While he stated he would love to continue playing, he also left room for doubt about whether he will return to Atlanta. With his contract situation now clarified, it is possible that Cousins may seek a new team.

There are rumors that Kirk Cousins could potentially join his former team, the Minnesota Vikings, who have been exploring options to strengthen their quarterback room. The Vikings have reportedly identified established quarterbacks available via trade or free agency as key targets for offseason acquisitions.

The Vikings parted ways with Cousins in 2024 due to differing visions on how to handle his career and playing style. At the time, head coach Kevin O'Connell stated that there was "complete alignment" with Cousins leaving, but acknowledged that things just didn't work out. It appears that these feelings have not changed, and the Vikings may still look for a veteran quarterback like Cousins in the offseason.

With Cousins now free to explore his options, it remains to be seen whether he will choose to stay in Atlanta or seek a new team like Minnesota. The restructuring talks with the Falcons could ultimately determine the direction of his career, as he weighs his future and the financial implications of any potential move.
 
man i feel for kirk cousins 🤗 he's been through some stuff in atlanta but it seems like its time for a change 💼 the $67.9 million guarantee thing is crazy talk maybe he'll stick with minnesota again ? 🤔 i mean they parted ways last year so who knows what happened behind closed doors 🤫 any way gotta say cousins has always been the underdog of the nfl 🏈
 
idk about this... i mean, kirk cousins has always been a solid QB but atlanta needs a rebuild lol think minnesota would be more up his alley now they've got a new coach and a defense that can actually keep up with him 🤔💪
 
I'm so done with these NFL contract negotiations 🙄. Can't they just make it simple for once? Cousins' situation is getting super complicated because of that restructure with the Falcons. Now everyone's speculating about him joining the Vikings, but let's be real, he was already with them and they didn't want him back... so why would he go there now? 🤔

And can we talk about how weird it is that the team could just make his contract less secure like that? Like, what's next? Teams going around restructuring their players' guarantees every other week to keep things "fluid"? It's getting out of hand... 💸
 
omg u guyz, i am literally SHOOK about this kirk cousins situation!!! 🤯 he was already kinda uncertain about staying in atlanta but now it's like a whole new ball game! with that $67.9 mil guarantee thingy... i mean idk what to think lol. part of me wants him to stay in atlanta and be the falcons' QB for years to come, but another part of me is just dying to see him go to minnesota and start all over again 🤠🏻💨

i gotta say tho... it's kinda nice to see kirk being his usual chill self about it all. like, he said he'd love to keep playing but also left room for doubt lol. i think that's what makes this situation so juicy - we just don't know what's gonna happen next 🤔

anywayz... fingers crossed for kirk! hope he finds a team where he can thrive and play the game he loves 💖.
 
Ugh, this is getting crazy! So the Falcons just restructured Kirk Cousins' contract and now it's like, who knows what's gonna happen next? 🤯 They've basically created a deadline for him to decide whether he stays or goes, and now rumors are swirling that he might even join his old team, the Vikings! 😱 I mean, I get why he'd want to leave Atlanta, but come on, guys, can't we just have one stable QB situation for once? 🤦‍♂️ It's like they're playing some kinda game with Cousins' head. And what's with all these rumors about the Vikings looking for a new QB? Can't they just make up their minds?! 😩
 
I'm kinda curious about Kirk Cousins' situation rn... He's always been a solid QB, but I feel like he's been playing for a team that just doesn't want to win 🤔💦 So if he gets the chance to join a new team like the Vikings, who actually have high expectations, maybe it's time for him to take control of his career 💪
 
I'm thinking Kirk Cousins might wanna make a change soon... 🤔 He's been playing great for the Falcons, but that restructured contract could be like, "Hey, you know what? You're not worth $67.9 million anymore." 😬 And now he's got some time to think about it - if he decides not to return to Atlanta, there are rumors he might try and join his old team, the Vikings... 👊 That'd be a pretty interesting move, considering how things ended between them last year. 🤝
 
I'm not surprised that Kirk Cousins is looking to make a change in Atlanta... 🤔 I mean, it's been two years since they reworked his contract, and now we see some guarantees vesting on March 13th. That's gotta be tempting for him to shop around, especially if he wants to avoid taking a hit on that last chunk of his deal.

The rumors about him possibly heading back to the Vikings are interesting... 🙃 I think it's clear that there was a bit of tension between Cousins and the team after he left in 2024. If they're still looking for a veteran QB, maybe it's worth giving him another shot? On the other hand, if things didn't work out last time around, why would you want to go back?

Ultimately, I think Cousins has some tough decisions ahead of him... 🤝 The Falcons are clearly trying to create space under his contract, and he'll need to weigh the pros and cons of staying put or taking a chance on a new team. Only time will tell what he decides! 👀
 
So I was just thinking about Kirk Cousins... 🤔 He's had a pretty rough time in Atlanta, you know? They've been trying to figure out how to make it work with him, but it seems like they're not sure if he wants to stay or go. And now that the contract stuff has been reworked, I think some people are starting to wonder if he'll try to leave and start fresh somewhere else. Maybe even with his old team in Minnesota? 🤝 But at the same time, Cousins is still all about playing, you know? He wants to keep on doing what he loves, but he also needs to think about the benjamins... 💸 It's gonna be interesting to see how this whole thing plays out. The Vikings are definitely a possibility, and who knows, maybe they'll make an offer that'll change everything. 🤑 What do you guys think? Do you think Cousins will stick with Atlanta or take a shot at Minnesota?
 
🤔 So I'm hearing that Kirk Cousins is trying to get outta that deal with the Falcons 🤑. Like, good for him, right? He's got a few years left on his contract and now he's free to shop around 💼. Minnesota's definitely one team that's been sniffing around 👀, but let's see if the Vikings are serious about bringing Cousins back... I mean, they already cut him loose last year 🤷‍♂️. Still, you can never say never in the NFL 🏈. What do you guys think? Do you wanna see Cousins go to a new team or stick it out with the Falcons? 🤝
 
I'm all over this Cousins drama lol! 💁‍♂️ So now we know the Falcons have restructured the last two years of his contract... like what's the hold up? If they're not 100% sure they want him, why not just let him go already? 🤔 The $67.9 million guarantee thing is just gonna make him think he's got options if he wants out. Maybe he'll even try to flip that to another team... Minnesota Vikings, anyone? 🤝
 
omg I cant even right now!!! 😍💔 I've been supporting Kirk Cousins since he was playing for the Vikes (he's like my QB #1 🤩) and to think that he might leave Atlanta 🤕 is breaking my heart! 💖 I know the Falcons restructured his contract but that doesn't change how much I want him to stay 🙏. But, on the other hand, it would be sick awesome if he joined his old team, Vikes 🎉🔵️️️ (he's like family to me 😂). Either way, Cousins is a genius QB and I'm sure whatever he decides, we'll all love him for it 💕. Can't wait to see what happens next! 🤞
 
I dont get why NFL players are making bank when they can just retire already 🤑👴. Cousins is 35 next year and still playing? seems like a recipe for disaster to me 😂. And now that the Falcons restructured his contract, I think he's gonna hold out for an even bigger deal elsewhere. Like what's the point of having all that money if you're just gonna stick around one place? 🤔. The Vikings are definitely sniffing around him again, and I could see them taking a chance on him despite their history 🤷‍♂️. But honestly, I think Cousins is better off getting out while he can 😎.
