Non-Football Note: Being reported the plane that collided with a Blackhawk chopper may have contained members of the US Figure Skating team.

Nothing official yet, though...

 

UPDATE: It was just confirmed

During an appearance on Good Morning Football: Overtime, Cousins spoke about his uncertain future (video link). The 36-year-old was benched in favor of first-round rookie Michael Penix Jr. late in the year, and the latter is in position to remain atop the depth chart moving forward. As a result, it was reported in December the Falcons are expected to release Cousins this offseason.

The latter’s $27.5MM base salary for next season is guaranteed in full, and a $10MM roster bonus for 2026 will vest early in the new league year if he remains in Atlanta. Given the compensation he is owed, a trade allowing Cousins a fresh start would come as a surprise.

For now, it remains to be seen how Atlanta will proceed on the Cousins front. Even if he finds himself a free agent once again in the near future, though, retirement will not be considered based on his comments.

as a post-June 1st cut, the Falcons would gain no cap relief this year.  They will save 90 mill over the next 2 years.

They will owe him 75 mill over the next 3 years.

No way he retires. He has millions of reasons to ride this out. The Flacons really Falcked themselves. 🤣🤣🤣

Call me crazy but Moore doesn't scare me as a HC in New Orleans.

Same. Yeah, Philly has a really good offense but they have an elite rushing threat at QB and the best all around RB in football going up against defenses that are largely built to stop the pass in the modern NFL.

And Hurts and the passing game sort of took a step backwards. Yes TO's are down but he made him so TO averse that he holds on to the ball too long to avoid risky throws. Sack percentage up quite a bit and passing yardage down a lot.

    • See that's the thing what I saw in game 2 was so embarrassing id rather they could just forfeit 
    • Are you arguing that his height deficiencies and footwork within the pocket have not been a present issue clearly seen on his game tape particularly in the games he struggled in? Because that's simply denying what everyone in this fanbase who have watched the games have seen. It's interesting how hardline BY fans here quickly and effortlessly pivot from whailing about being victimized to becoming the aggressor and hurling out allegations of bias and hatred. And at the end of the day while Bryce Young clearly improved significantly from the first two games of the season the reality of the situation is he still finished 42nd in yards per pass attempt behind Mac Jones and tied with Caleb Williams and 38th in passing yards per game behind the likes of Gardner Minshew Aidan O'Connell Drake Maye and Will Levis. Furthermore it took Bryce Young 23 games to surpass Panthers legend Kyle Allen's 13 games worth of passing yardage in 2019. So if your argument is he became a head and shoulders better passer over the course of the second half of the season the reality is we're still waiting to see that growth this season. And there is nothing controversial or vitriolic about saying so from the mind of a rational observer.
    • Cam regularly threw for less than 200 yards and nobody questioned he was elite. He averaged 219 yds per game for his career.  You seem to be way too hung up on yards as a stat.  By that definition Jameis Winston should have been MVP by now.
