BALTIMORE — As the Browns close out the dismal 2024 season here and look ahead to the future, Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins, benched two games ago in favor of No. 8 overall draft pick Michael Penix, could be one option for their upgraded quarterback room in 2025.
Most expect the Falcons to release Cousins, 36, before paying him a $10 million bonus in March, and he’ll be free to sign with any team. He’ll likely come at a bargain basement price, with the Falcons – who paid him $90 million for his nine starts – on the hook for $27.5 million minus the veteran minimum of $1.255 million that he’ll get from his new team.
With Baker Mayfield’s future in Cleveland uncertain, the Browns may be looking for a new quarterback in 2025. One option that could be on the table is Kirk Cousins.
Cousins has proven himself to be a reliable and consistent quarterback in the NFL, with a strong arm and good decision-making abilities. He has had success with both the Washington Football Team and the Minnesota Vikings, and could bring a veteran presence to the Browns’ offense.
Additionally, Cousins has experience working with Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, who was his offensive coordinator in Minnesota. This existing relationship could help Cousins quickly acclimate to the Browns’ system and potentially lead to success on the field.
While Cousins may not be the flashiest option available, he could provide stability and leadership to the Browns’ quarterback position in 2025. Keep an eye on this potential option as the offseason approaches.
