Kirk Cousins reportedly could waive his no-trade clause after the NFL Draft.

Cousins was benched to end last season for Michael Penix Jr. after signing a four-year deal with the Falcons. He will likely look for a fresh start on another team. It is unclear where his market is currently at.

It is possible a third-round pick could be the return in a trade for Cousins. He remains the backup to Michael Penix Jr. for now, but a trade closer to the NFL Draft is sounding more possible.

Kirk Cousins said his future with the Falcons remains "uncertain."

"I definitely feel like I have a lot of good football left in me," Cousins said. "Time will tell. It's still kind of uncertain. We'll get to March and know a lot more. But I think the focus for me really is getting healthy. That's really my focus is I got to get healthy." Cousins struggled in his final month as a starter this past season before Michael Penix Jr. took over. There should be more clarity on Cousins and his status with the Falcons in March.

Falcons GM Terry Fontenot said the team is comfortable moving forward with Kirk Cousins as a backup.

Fantasy Impact

It seems unlikely that the Falcons will move forward with Cousins and his $40 million cap hit next season. It is possible the Falcons look to trade him. If they're unable to, they'll likely eventually release him. He holds a pre-June 1 dead cap hit of $65 million and a post-June 1 dead cap hit of $40 million.
