Quarterback Kirk Cousins answers questions about his future with the Falcons after attending first day of team's 2025 mandatory minicamp

NFL insider Dan Graziano of ESPN noted as recently as Wednesday that "it could be tempting" for the Atlanta Falcons to turn to veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins during the upcoming season if he remains on the roster and 2024 first-round draft pick Michael Penix Jr. struggles as the team's starter.

The Falcons selected four defensive players in the NFL Draft, and three of them could potentially be day 1 starters. Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr. are as close to locked in as starters, but Xavier Watts could join them as starters before the season starts.

With Aaron Rodgers aboard, Kirk Cousins won't be going to the Pittsburgh Steelers. What's the Atlanta Falcons' plans for Cousins now?

Walker previously wore the No. 11 at Georgia, and the versatile linebacker will continue wearing it in Atlanta. As for Pearce, he's also wearing the same number (27) he wore at Tennessee. Check out Pearce in his Falcons gear, as shared by the team account below.
