The Atlanta Falcons made the blockbuster move to sign four-time Pro Bowl quarterback Kirk Cousins to a four-year deal worth $180 million.
He brings plenty of experience to a young roster that is looking to win right now.
Speaking of the young roster, stud running back Bijan Robinson recently gave his take on Cousins being a little old.
“I think Kirk’s old enough to be my dad,” Robinson jokingly told the Atlanta media, via Daniel Flick.

Robinson is currently just 22 years of age while Cousins is 35.
Perhaps Cousins could be an older cousin or a younger uncle.
But both of these players have proven that age is just a number.
Robinson is only entering his sophomore season in the NFL, but his rookie year was remarkable.
He recorded over 1,400 scrimmage yards and 8 total touchdowns.
Cousins has proven to be an underrated quarterback throughout his career despite having just one playoff win in his career.
Before blowing out his Achilles last season, Cousins was coming off one of the best seasons of his 12-year career.
He led the Vikings to 13 wins and threw for the second-most yards in his career (4,547) back in 2022.
Focusing on his present and future with Raheem Morris and the Falcons, this offense has plenty of talent and youth.
Robinson is obviously a very productive and talented running back.
Backup running back Tyler Allgeier rushed for over 1,000 yards as a rookie in 2022.
Tight end Kyle Pitts is a former Pro Bowler.
Former first-round wide receiver Drake London is also ascending.
Look for Cousins to have a solid first year in Atlanta with his cast of young teammates.
