    Quarterback Kirk Cousins ​​was the biggest name in free agency this offseason before signing a four-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons. How much is his new team paying him in 2024 and beyond?

    Cousins, 36, is a 13-year NFL veteran who has played for three teams in his career. After six solid seasons with the Minnesota Vikings — including three Pro Bowl appearances — Cousins ​​entered free agency in the offseason. It was the veteran’s first free agent since departing Washington in 2018, and the Falcons jumped at the chance to sign him.

    In 2024, Cousins ​​hopes to lead Atlanta to the playoffs for the first time since 2017 with a strong offensive line and excellent defense.

    Here’s how much the Falcons are paying him for it:

    Kirk Cousins ​​Career Earnings

    According to Spotrac, Cousins ​​has earned a total of $294,169,486 in contract money with three teams over his 13-year career.

    After his rookie deal with Washington expired in 2015, he signed two consecutive franchise tags with the team before signing a three-year, $84 million contract with the Vikings in free agency in 2018. Cousins ​​then signed a two-year, $66 million extension in 2020 — a year before his initial contract expired — and then signed a one-year, $35 million extension before hitting free agency again last offseason.

    Cousins’ contract with the Falcons is the largest of his career in terms of total value and average annual value.
