The Atlanta Falcons are going to continue paying Kirk Cousins, for now anyway.

The Atlanta Falcons aren't letting quarterback Kirk Cousins leave the franchise for nothing, at least not right now. Multiple reports surfaced on Saturday afternoon that the team doesn't plan to release Cousins before his 2026 $10 million roster bonus activates later in the day.
