The Atlanta Falcons thought Kirk Cousins would be their answer at quarterback when they signed him to a four-year deal before last season. But he flamed out and was benched down the stretch. Now, some are arguing the Falcons should trade him.
If the Cousins situation takes too long to play out, it could be a distraction to the team, which is trying to end a seven-year playoff drought. If you want to keep tabs on all things Falcons, here’s what you need to know to watch the 2025–2026 squad on TV.
