Related: About this forumAtlanta Falcons reel in Kirk Cousins on 4-year, $180M deal
Cousins turns 36 in August!
Kirk Cousins' six-year run in Minneapolis is over.
The veteran quarterback has agreed to a four-year, $180 million contract with the Atlanta Falcons on Monday, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported.
Cousins' deal includes a $50 million signing bonus and $90 million guaranteed over the next two seasons with an additional $10 million guaranteed in 2026 for a whopping $100 million total in guarantees, per Pelissero.
Monday's news is equally shocking because he's departing Minnesota, where he'd made a comfortable home for he and his family with consistent play over the last six seasons, and because of the destination.
