(Flowery Branch, GA) — The Atlanta Falcons made a major splash on day one of the legal free agency tampering period in the NFL. The team signed Kirk Cousins to a four-year, 180-million-dollar contract on Monday. ESPN reports the deal includes 100-million-dollars in guaranteed money. The four-time Pro Bowler is coming off a season where he threw for 2,331 yards to go with 18 touchdowns and five interceptions. Cousins was limited to eight games due to a torn Achilles. He’ll take over for a Falcons team that’s been searching for a viable Matt Ryan replacement, who was traded to the Indianapolis Colts before the 2022 season.
