The Vikings got ahead of the curve. The post Former Vikings QB Kirk Cousins Receives Ominous Offseason Prediction appeared first on Heavy Sports.

ESPN's Rich Cimini argued a former Minnesota Vikings general manager could pursue bringing quarterback Kirk Cousins to his new team.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins endured a rough stretch of play this past fall. But at least some within the organization believe he could be in for a better season in 2025.

“Spielman’s presence in the front office is sure to spark Kirk Cousins speculation,” ESPN’s Rich Cimini wrote on February 10. “As the Minnesota Vikings’ GM, Spielman signed Cousins to a huge free agent deal in 2018. Cousins, who enjoyed his most productive years in Minnesota, is likely to be cut or traded by the Atlanta Falcons in the coming weeks.

If Cousins were to want to leave Atlanta, he would have to approve of any move due to the no-trade clause within his contract. Not only is that a hurdle the Falcons may have to jump through, but they will likely have to eat more than $37.5 million of Cousins's salary.

The focus from fans this offseason might be about the future of Kirk Cousins, but there are going to be many more impactful decisions made by the Falcons front office this offseason than who is the backup QB.

Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons will almost undoubtedly part ways a year after signing him to a four-year, $180 million deal. The Falcons signed Cousins hoping to bring a Super Bowl to Atlanta but benched him in favor of rookie QB Michael Penix Jr.
