Kirk Cousins News
Wednesday, March 11, 12:15 PM
The Atlanta Falcons officially released veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins at the start of the new league year on Wednesday, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN. The 37-year-old four-time Pro Bowler spent the last two seasons in Atlanta, where he threw for 5,229 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 21 interceptions in 24 games (22 starts). He was benched late in the 2024 campaign in favor of rookie Michael Penix Jr. and entered last season as the clear backup. Cousins ended up starting eight games for the Falcons in 2025 due to Penix's season-ending knee injury. He had a few notable performances, but overall, he looked more like a QB nearing the end of his career. Cousins had 1,721 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, and five picks for the Falcons last year. He'll be an option to reunite with the Minnesota Vikings this offseason, but a starting job isn't going to be guaranteed, no matter where Cousins resurfaces for the 2026 campaign.

Jacoby Brissett News
Tuesday, March 10, 3:15 PM
If the Arizona Cardinals plan to start veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett again in 2026, they "have yet to make him aware of those plans," according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. The Cardinals have not told Brissett that he will be their starting QB in 2026, according to a source. He is still under contract for this year and is scheduled to make $4.88 million. Arizona has moved on from former first overall pick Kyler Murray (foot), and they signed veteran Gardner Minshew to a one-year deal on Monday, but Brissett is expected to remain under center after impressing in 2025. The 33-year-old became an unlikely QB streamer in fantasy football after taking over the Cardinals offense in Week 6, ultimately finishing with a career-best 3,366 passing yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 14 games (12 starts). New head coach Mike LaFleur will likely make the Cardinals offense more balanced in 2026, though, making it more unlikely that Brissett will have the kind of upside he had in 2025.
