Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins Goes Straight to the Top to Make His Wishes Known for 2025 Season
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins has made a bold move, going straight to the top to voice his hopes and expectations for the 2025 NFL season. As a seasoned veteran with a reputation for being a straight shooter, Cousins has consistently demonstrated his leadership on and off the field. This time, however, his message wasn’t just for his teammates; it was directed at the team’s upper management.
In an exclusive interview, Cousins opened up about his desire for the Falcons to prioritize offensive line improvements, stating, “I know we have a strong team, but we need to make sure I’m standing tall in the pocket, able to distribute the ball the way I know how. Protection up front is paramount.” The veteran quarterback, who joined the Falcons in a high-profile trade from the Minnesota Vikings, is determined to ensure his performance peaks during his tenure in Atlanta. Cousins has made it clear that a revamped offensive line is essential for his success—and by extension, the team’s.
Despite having solid weapons in the receiving corps and a strong running back duo in Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier, Cousins recognizes the limitations caused by an inconsistent offensive line in recent seasons. The 35-year-old quarterback, with over 15 years in the league, understands that his window for a championship run is closing. With the Falcons’ management eager to make a postseason appearance, Cousins is making sure that his voice is heard loud and clear.
Moreover, Cousins has requested that the Falcons invest in a more balanced offensive system, one that can fully utilize his skill set. Known for his accuracy, Cousins wants to see more emphasis placed on passing plays that exploit the defense’s weaknesses, while also complementing the team’s strong run game. “I believe in this offense, but we need to stretch defenses vertically and horizontally to open up all the options we have,” he said.
The Falcons have been working behind the scenes to address Cousins’ concerns, engaging in discussions with potential free-agent targets and examining the draft for key offensive line prospects. Falcons General Manager Terry Fontenot has stated that the team will do everything necessary to ensure that the 2025 season is a success.
With Kirk Cousins’ leadership and determination to take the Falcons to new heights, the franchise is poised for an exciting year ahead. If management follows through on the quarterback’s suggestions, Atlanta could be looking at a legitimate contender for the NFC South title—and beyond.
