Let's say Cousins plays real well do the Falcons pick up Pennix on the 5th year option? They may as well burn more money and stick to their guns.


I hated the pick of Penix (and still think it's dumb) but one scenario that nobody's really floated is the Patriots model of sticking with a 38 year old Cousins who's still playing great and trading Penix for draft picks down the road.

It hasn't been done in a while, but it is still an option for Atlanta to recoup the pick and more later on if Cousins looks great and plans to keep rolling.

Just another scenario that’s not comparable. Garoppolo was the 62nd (late 2nd round) pick. The Patriots were SB contenders with an established vet, the could afford a luxury pick development QB at that point. When they eventually traded him all they got was a 2nd round pick. It is extremely unlikely the Falcons could get a first round pick if they decided to move Penix in a couple of years so they will not get close to the value of the pick they just wasted
