Kirk Cousins expected to be released by Falcons before $10M bonus hits
NY Post
A Kirk Cousins-Falcons divorce is nigh.
The veteran 13-year quarterback is expected to be cut by Atlanta before his $10 million roster bonus hits on March 17, but many sources around the league, per ESPN, believe the release will happen before then.
Front office executives that are keeping their eye on Cousins situation in Atlanta have said the quarterback has a no-trade clause in his contract and therefore has all the leverage.
Yet, no one believes Cousins has a future in helping the Falcons (7-7) climb out of their hole.
As a result, there is a league-wide expectation that the Falcons will not be able to trade Cousins and will have to release him before the March deadline when his bonus for the 2026 season is due.
The cutting of ties is certainly not coming out of nowhere.
