Kirk Cousins Joins Raiders, Falcons Save Millions

0:00On April 2nd, Kirk Cousins is officially on the move after two rocky seasons with the Atlanta Falcons. His agent just confirmed he's signing with the Las Vegas Raiders, bringing that veteran experience to their squad. Teams like the Rams, Cardinals and Packers showed interest, but Cousins picked the Raiders to mentor their future star Fernando Mendoza, who's projected as the number one overall draft pick this month. For the Falcons, this means up to $10 million in offsets from his new deal, basically covering Michael Penic's Jr. 6.24. Million salary, two Otago Viloas, $1.3 million, and leaving room for another $2.46 million contract. They still face a $35 million deadcap hit, spread out with $22.5 million in 2026 and $12.5 million in 2027, thanks to a post-June 1st designation. That wraps up a bumpy two-year run in Atlanta, from the big signing in 2024 to injuries, the bench, and now both sides moving forward.
