The Atlanta Falcons will join the other 31 teams at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine this week in Indianapolis. General manager Terry Fontenot and head coach Raheem Morris are scheduled to meet with the media on Tuesday morning.
Fontenot will take the podium at 10 a.m. ET and Morris will follow at 10:30 a.m. ET. The discussion will almost certainly center around quarterback Kirk Cousins, who’s been the subject of trade talk since being benched for rookie Michael Penix Jr.
The Falcons gave Cousins a four-year, $180 million contract less than a year ago and are expected to release or trade the veteran quarterback sometime during the offseason.
If Atlanta can trade Cousins after June 1, the team would save over $27 million in cap space. However, in pretty much every other scenario, the Falcons will have to take on a monster dead cap hit.
The team holds the No. 15 pick in the 2025 draft but Fontenot didn’t rule out trading down to acquire more picks. Tune in on Tuesday at 10 a.m. ET to hear what Fontenot and Morris have to say ahead of the scouting combine.
