Quarterback Kirk Cousins arrived in Atlanta before the 2024 NFL season, bringing with him hopes that the presence of a stable, talented, veteran QB would push the talent-laden Falcons past Tampa Bay in the NFC South.

The Falcons guaranteed Cousins $90 million for the first 2 years as part of a four-year deal potentially worth $180 million.

However, the Falcons failed to meet those lofty expectations under Cousins' QB leadership. After a 6-3 start, the Falcons lost 4 straight, all but wiping out their playoff chances. Cousins was finally benched in Week 16 after a 15-9 win over the Raiders.

Rookie Michael Penix finished the season for the Falcons. And the Falcons have made it clear that Penix, who was taken by Atlanta with the 8th overall pick of the draft, is their QB1 moving forward into the 2025 season. And beyond.

So, where does that leave Cousins? And the potential $40 million salary cap hit his presence could cost?

Bookies.com Senior Handicapper and NFL analyst Adam Thompson has updated his NFL odds regarding where Cousins will take his snaps in 2025.

Kirk Cousins' Next Team Odds - Team-by-Team Analysis

The Atlanta Falcons remain strong favorites to keep Cousins for 2025. Penix is entering his second pro season and his first as a full-time starter. As flashy and exciting as Penix might be, he went just 1-2 in Cousins’ stead with three TDs and three INTs.

Cousins wasn’t much better (18/16 TD/INT, 7-7 record), but second-year coach Raheem Morris may opt back to the veteran if it’s believed Penix needs to take a step back.

New York Jets +400

Buzz: The New York Jets are in better shape financially ($37.3M in cap space) than other teams that may like another QB option at this late hour. They signed Justin Fields to a modest deal to be their No. 1 QB, but Fields is just 14-30 as a starter. Veteran Tyrod Taylor has 12 starts with four different teams over the last five seasons. Cousins is a big step up and the rest of the roster is built to win now.

New Orleans Saints +700

Buzz: It’s conceivable the New Orleans Saints would like to have a reliable veteran option in the QB ranks. Right now, it’s rookie Tyler Shough, a surprise second-round pick, and Spencer Rattler, who was a disaster in six winless starts. The team has $22.3 million in cap space, so something big would have to give to afford Cousins.

Tennessee Titans +1000

Buzz: The Tennessee Titans lost Will Levis for the season, leaving Brandon Allen and Tim Boyle behind rookie No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward on the QB depth chart. A veteran presence would certainly be a better option behind the rookie, but with $30.6 million in cap space and in no rush to win now, the Titans are likely to spend elsewhere.

Miami Dolphins +1550

Buzz: The Miami Dolphins are trying to win now, and Tua Tagovailoa continues to face questions about his concussion-filled past. The fear is someday Tua won’t be allowed to return, leaving the high-octane offense in the hands of newly acquired Zach Wilson. Miami’s cap space is just $1.2 million, making this move highly difficult.

The Field +1200

The Field includes teams with a shaky QB position, led by teams that may be trying to win now, including the Indianapolis Colts, New York Giants, Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings.
