The Kirk Cousins-to-Atlanta experiment was anything but a success, and now it's over.

Kirk Cousins' divorce from the Falcons is expected to be finalized before his $10 million roster bonus is due March 17, with executives across the NFL fully expecting Atlanta to release him by then.

Michael Penix Jr. is the new starting quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons and Kirk Cousins is heading to the bench, coach Raheem Morris announced Tuesday night.

Rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. said Monday that he'll be ready if the Atlanta Falcons coaching staff calls upon him, but he knows the decision is out of his hands. In fact, he believes Kirk Cousins will be able to stem the tide this season.

Kirk Cousins departed the Minnesota Vikings this past offseason in free agency and opted to join the Atlanta Falcons on a lucrative contract.

The Atlanta Falcons signed free agent Quarterback Kirk Cousins this offseason to be the face of the franchise for years to come, and to help the franchise win a Super Bowl.

The NFL Draft begins tomorrow from Detroit and runs through Saturday evening. Round one tomorrow night presents a historic and exciting opportunity for the Minnesota Vikings.

Hope springs eternal. It's that time of year in the NFL where every fan and fanbase is hopeful.
