The Atlanta Falcons shelved quarterback Kirk Cousins ahead of their Week 15 matchup with the New York Giants, the first time in years Cousins was a QB2 while healthy. And things only got worse from there.

According to a report from Adam Schefter, the Falcons are expected to cut Kirk Cousins before March 17, which is when his $10 million roster bonus kicks in.

Kirk Cousins is mulling retirement after the Falcons benched him and plans on cutting him from the roster this offseason.
