"Just one month before the 2024 NFL draft, Atlanta signed Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract. Cousins started the first 14 games of the 2024 season for the Falcons. Michael Penix Jr. started the final three games and was the starter to begin the 2025 season."

The Atlanta Falcons face a significant quarterback crisis after Michael Penix Jr. re-aggravated a knee injury during Sunday's loss to the Panthers in Week 11. NFL insider Adam Schefter reported the injury is potentially season-ending, with Penix seeking a second opinion. Kirk Cousins will assume starting duties for the remaining seven games of the season. The Falcons drafted Penix eighth overall in 2024 despite signing Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract just one month prior. Cousins, earning over $40 million annually, has now transitioned from starter to backup to starter again. Penix has endured multiple significant injuries throughout his career, including two torn ACLs and shoulder surgery.
