Kirk Cousins leaves Minnesota for Atlanta on a four-year, 180 million deal, citing a lack of long-term commitment in Minnesota. Atlanta signs him to stabilize the room before drafting Michael Penix Jr. No. 8 in 2024, which creates a high-pressure intro for Cousins. The Vikings pivot with J. J. McCarthy as the future starter, while Penix’s presence reshapes Atlanta’s offense and fantasy landscape for 2025.
