Kirk Cousins is currently with the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL. Although he signed a four-year, $180 million contract with the Falcons as a free agent and began the 2024 season with them, he lost his starting quarterback job in 2025 and now serves as the backup quarterback behind Michael Penix Jr. Despite requesting a trade after being benched, Cousins remains on the Falcons roster as of September 2025.
