The Atlanta Falcons plan to keep Kirk Cousins on their roster past the 4 p.m. ET deadline Saturday, multiple outlets reported. As a result, the quarterback's $10 million roster bonus that is due in 2026 will be fully guaranteed. That decision grants the Falcons additional time as they weigh the 36-year-old Cousins' future with the team. Atlanta is all in on quarterback Michael Penix Jr. as the face of the franchise. In his return from a torn Achilles and debut season with the Falcons, Cousins said arm injuries were a detriment and led to him being benched in favor of Penix in December.
