1. Kirk Cousins' future in major doubt after one season with Falcons

The Kirk Cousins rollercoaster has been a wild ride. The veteran quarterback started his time in Atlanta with a rough performance against the Steelers but got better each week before falling off a cliff in Week 11 against New Orleans.

Now, the quarterback who won a couple of NFC Offensive Player of the Week awards finds himself with an uncertain future.

With Michael Penix Jr. lurking behind the 36-year-old quarterback, the Falcons will likely elect to move on from Cousins, assuming he doesn't go on a tear over the final five games. He hasn't lived up to his steep price and could ultimately be considered one of the worst free-agent signings in NFL history.
