The Atlanta Falcons have released quarterback Kirk Cousins, the franchise announced on Wednesday.
Cousins will have a post-June 1 designation.
The Falcons announced last month they planned to cut Cousins and fully pivot toward 2024 first-round draft pick Michael Penix Jr., whose knee injury last year gave Cousins the job back.
His familiarity with the Vikings and coach Kevin O’Connell’s system could make sense for a reunion.
Cousins, who turns 38 before the season, would be a realistic bridge starter to give 2024 first-round draft pick J.J. McCarthy more time to develop, but Cousins has never signed a bargain contract.
