The Falcons signed Cousins to a 4-year, $180 million deal last year. They benched him later in the season for first-round draft pick Michael Penix Jr.

Throughout the offseason, there has been speculation about the Falcons trading Cousins if he waives his no-trade clause.

Despite the rumors, head coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot have made it clear multiple times they plan to move forward with Cousins as their backup quarterback.
