Kirk Cousins has officially signed a one-year deal with the Raiders, which could extend to two years depending on his performance. This move allows the Falcons to save $1.3 million against their cap, reducing their obligation to Cousins to $8.7 million for 2026 while still facing $12.5 million in dead money next year. Cousins will mentor young quarterback Fernando Mendoza, as the Falcons evaluate their future options with either Michael Penix Jr. or Tua Tagovailoa. Both parties are expected to benefit from this change.
