The NFL is a quarterback-driven league, and no team has committed more resources to the position than the Atlanta Falcons over the last two offseasons. The team signed Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract at the start of the 2024 free agency period, then used the No. 8 pick in the draft to select Michael Penix Jr.

The Atlanta Falcons may have the best backup quarterback in the league on their bench. Veteran Kirk Cousins signed a four-year, $180 million contract last offseason but was benched for rookie Michael Penix Jr.

ESPN held a round table among four of its analysts proposing four possible trades for Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins.
