Atlanta Falcons coach Raheem Morris does not expect quarterback Kirk Cousins to be part of the team's voluntary offseason program due to a "business" impasse.
Morris said Cousins has met one-on-one with himself, general manager Terry Fontenot and owner Arthur Blank and expressed his wish to be a starting quarterback in the NFL this coming season.
The Falcons have Michael Penix Jr. pegged as their starter for the foreseeable future. Cousins was benched in Week 16 after a five-game stretch with nine interceptions and just one touchdown pass.
"I'm not going to be foolish to think that he's going to show up for voluntary work," Morris said of Cousins on Tuesday morning at the NFL's annual league meeting.
