Kirk Cousins appears to have accepted his likely role as a backup quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, signaling a shift in his NFL career. During the Falcons' mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, Cousins acknowledged the possibility of not starting, following a season where he was benched for rookie Michael Penix Jr. after throwing 16 interceptions. The team missed the playoffs. Despite speculation about a trade, Cousins remains with the Falcons, and at 36 years old, his future as a starting quarterback seems uncertain, as he focuses on supporting the team's success.
