After starting the 2024 campaign on somewhat solid footing, the Atlanta Falcons' $180 million quarterback'sover his last five games and the organization is taking the drastic action of replacing him with rookie Michael Penix Jr.
What the future holds for Cousins is unclear. If there's any good news for the Falcons it's that they won't have to make a decision on 2025 for many months and there's a chance Cousins gets a lot healthier over the offseason. Not all injuries are created equal and the ability to rebound from them depends on a myriad of factors.
Rodgers has played better as the year has gone on and shared on Wednesday that he thinks that may be the case with Cousins as well. Aaron Rodgers said he thinks Kirk Cousins will be better next year since he’ll be further away from his Achilles injury and feels he has a lot of good years left in him. Rodgers, asked if he’ll be better next year too for the same reason: “It’s possible. I might be on the beach…Cousins is 36 years old, five years Rodgers's junior. Again, this is all purely speculation at this point. But Atlanta is understandably looking for some silver linings in a sky full of dark clouds and this perhaps qualifies.Kyle Koster is an assistant managing editor at Sports Illustrated covering the intersection of sports and media.
