Kirk CousinsQB
Cousins has only one Tier 2 vote over the past two seasons after commanding a career-best 31 entering 2024, his first season with Atlanta. An offensive coordinator cited lack of mobility as a big concern; a former GM noted the torn Achilles tendon from 2023 is a hard injury to overcome at his age, and those deficiencies have worsened. At 38 before the season, a GM placed him in Tier 4 because durability concerns make it questionable whether he can hold up for 17 games without a successor like Fernando Mendoza.
