Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins seemed to confirm reports that he sought an exit out of Atlanta this offseason, but said that he’s focused on “moving forward” as the season approaches, per Rick Farlow of the Associated Press.

Atlanta quarterback Kirk Cousins reported for the first day of Falcons minicamp on Tuesday. Cousins, who signed a four-year, $180 million contract with $100 million guaranteed in March 2024, was benched after Week 14 last season and lost his starting job to rookie Michael Penix Jr.

Kirk Cousins is expected to show up on Tuesday for the Atlanta Falcons ' mandatory minicamp after not taking part in OTAs, according to multiple reports. Cousins, who did take part in Atlanta's voluntary workouts in April, would still prefer to be traded to a team where he can start.
