Falcons fans should feel happy with this decision because Saints fans are very angry about it. The angrier your division rivals are about your teams moves, the better they are.

This division has deteriorated to the absolute worst in the NFL. If not for Tampa resuscitating their team with Brady it has been a total crapper. My hope is that ownership can somehow stop making all the stupid hires and get some legit football people in their organization. The hire of the latest Falcon HC makes me think that ain't happening anytime soon.

Its not terrible either. And if Penix is clearly ready after year 1, and they are fortunate enough to not need Cousins, they can absorb the entire cap hit in year 2 and move on.


if they really believe Penix is a 15 year guy then there really isn’t a number that doesn’t work… but if they believed that idk why you spend money on Cousins.

get a cheaper option. Sit him a year and tank. Get him a better OL and then go win.

You’re right in that they were smart enough to front load cousin’s contract, and combined what they would be spending on them isn’t bad compared to the total QB market, but the best part of a young QB is playing on their rookie contract.

Penix is also 24 on wednesday. Sit him 2 years and he’s 26.

It just doesn’t make sense.

Add in a 2nd or 3rd rounder as compensation for Cousins and this doesn’t look bad at all.

You expect teams to give a 2nd or 3rd rounder for a QB that is knocking on the door of 40 (in 2 years) with a base salary of $35M each year and an additional $10M roster bonus both years?

The only positive of the Atlanta situation is that they are in a dog shite division where everyone seems to be trying to give it away to each other. And that they may have enough just with cousins and their offense to win it.

I can't speak for all Saints fans, but I personally laughed my arse off.

Just thinking about it has me doing it again.

With that $ they spent on Cousins they could have added guys liks Christian Wilkins, DJ Reader, Danielle Hunter, Lajarius Sneed, Brian Burns, etc

That front 7 is dog shite. They managed to short change Kirk and dissapoint Penix I'm guessing. That guy is as ready as you can get coming from college.

Kirk's first bad game they will boo the shite out of him and chant "we want Penix" then those goofy frickers that said Kirk don't have look over his shoulder will cave.
