Atlanta Falcons legend Matt Ryan doesn’t believe Kirk Cousins will be traded from the franchise as head coach Raheem Morris pivots to handing over the starting quarterback job to Michael Penix Jr. He does, however, hope a situation opens up where Cousins can find an NFL home that offers him an opportunity to prove he’s still a winner.

Earlier in the NFL offseason, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. discussed "finding his voice" as a leader and "connecting with everybody around the team" now that he has replaced veteran Kirk Cousins as the club's full-time starter.

Kirk Cousins said on the Netflix series “Quarterback” that he played through pain in his right, throwing arm last season in part to keep from losing his starting job with the Atlanta Falcons to rookie backup Michael Penix Jr.
