Following the decision by the Atlanta Falcons to hire Kevin Stefanski as the team's new head coach earlier this month, most assumed a return to the Minnesota Vikings for veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins this year was no longer a realistic possibility.
Stefanski and Cousins worked together in Minnesota in 2018 and 2019, and with Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. currently recovering from a knee injury, many believed Atlanta's new head coach would want the former Viking signal-caller to stick around for at least one more season.
However, former NFL agent Joel Corry recently explained why Cousins is still expected to hit free agency this offseason and be available to sign with Minnesota if he wants.
