Kirk Cousins, once viewed as a key player for the Atlanta Falcons, finds himself in a precarious situation following a difficult season marred by a torn Achilles. His struggles led to the rise of Michael Penix Jr. as the team's starting quarterback, leaving Cousins feeling sidelined and disillusioned. In an episode of Netflix's 'Quarterback', Cousins expressed feelings of betrayal by the Falcons after his signing, highlighting the challenges he faced both on the field and with the team's leadership decisions.

The shift to Penix Jr. suggests a strategic pivot for the Falcons, who appear to be investing in youth over a veteran like Cousins, indicating a desire for a fresh start. This change raises questions about the future of Cousins in Atlanta and whether he can reclaim his status or if he will continue to navigate the uncertain waters of NFL quarterback limbo.
