A new front-runner has emerged to land Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins if he leaves the team in 2025.
On Tuesday, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris announced that rookie Michael Penix Jr. was replacing Kirk Cousins at QB. Cousins has one touchdown and nine interceptions over his last five, barely snapping a four-game losing streak against the 2-win Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night.
Cousins signed a four-year deal with Atlanta worth $180 million in the offseason, including $100 million guaranteed. Moving him would be difficult, but don’t forget that teams have found takers for QB contracts once deemed untradeable (see: Nick Foles, Jared Goff and Carson Wentz).
The latest odds at BetOnline list the Tennessee Titans as the betting favorites to be Kirk Cousins’ new team in 2025 (if he leaves the Falcons). Brian Callahan’s group carries +400 odds, followed by the Seattle Seahawks at +450 and Cleveland Browns at (+500).
Kirk Cousins Makes Sense For Titans
With second-year quarterback Will Levis getting benched in favor of Mason Rudolph this week, it’s obvious that Tennessee will be in the market for a new QB next year. If Cousins is available, he definitely makes sense as a “bridge” quarterback while Tennessee searches for its long-term guy.

ESPN’s Troy Aikman made an observation about rookie quarterback Caleb Williams that should have every Chicago Bears fan worried.
The Bears lost to the Minnesota Vikings 12-30 on Monday night, with the rookie having another rough outing that saw him get sacked three more times to take his total to 59.
He didn’t look like a player who could take much more when he went to the bench early in the fourth quarter, showing off some concerning body language to prompt some worry from Aikman.
“I was 0-11 as a starter and he’s had a much better rookie season than I had,” the commentator said. “He was grimacing and in an enormous amount of pain. When you watch him, you can tell that he’s a defeated guy.”
