Falcons GM Terry Fontenot indicated QB Kirk Cousins will stay with the team for the foreseeable future in a presser at the NFL Combine, per @MikeGarafolo

The key is having Penix on a rookie deal and building the team up around him, if they keep cousins, they’ll have at least 30 million in cap space wasted

they already have to eat 30-40 mill in dead money no matter what happens, but if he is cut it can save 10 mil

Penix shown he could carry this team better than cousins was

lol who tf is giving up draft capital, browns are already playing for the 226 draft and that’s the only team that makes any sense

2026

lmao I'm trying to be funny and objective, settle down

So why would they give up actual draft capital to lose? But it is the browns, yall can prolly con em

The real question is, was he truly hurt after that Aints game, and tried to play through the pain and didn’t tell nobody? Or, did Morris know about it, and just decided to not sit him, roll Penix out, just to then not being able to not go back to Kirk? THATS the real question!!

I get it man I do, but that's what this strategy is trying to do. we all know Kirk still wants to play.

I believe he was hurt but you see how that went for most QBs who “played hurt” they got caned and replaced, not saying they didn’t go else where and prove themselves right

that was just to save face

Cam newton wanted to keep playing too😂

That didn’t go well

Ploy to get higher compensation

That Same shoulder injury, he clams he has, is the same one that took cam out the league

I hate the guy but he got the falcons to 6-3 through a rough stretch

But why not sit. And come back after fully healed? Like, it’s your damn throwing arm 🤷🏽‍♂️

He knew that Penix wouldn’t give it back

Let’s be honest

definitely

Duh. What’s he supposed to say?
