The Atlanta Falcons held their first voluntary offseason workout on Tuesday and there was one surprise visitor. According to a report from WSBTV's Zach Klein, quarterback Kirk Cousins was in attendance.
While most teams would expect their $100 million QB to attend voluntary workouts, Cousins is in a unique position. The 36-year-old was benched 14 games into the 2024 season. The Falcons are going with Michael Penix Jr. as their starting quarterback in 2025, making Cousins expendable.
Head coach Raheem Morris said he did not expect Cousins to attend voluntary workouts, but the veteran QB appears to be on good terms with the Falcons while they work on an exit strategy.
Most of the team's key players were also in attendance on Day 1 of voluntary workouts. According to Falcons reporter Terrin Waack, the following players were spotted at the facility on Tuesday.
Next up for the Falcons is the 2025 NFL draft, which kicks off on Thursday, April 24. After the draft, OTA workouts begin on May 27 and mandatory minicamp starts on June 10.
