Have Kirk cousins to offer. Could be a huge haul. QBs always get hurt before the playoffs. Look at last year. Get penix and more picks later on. Just a random way I thought of to half justify

Not sure about that.. Cousins got a no trade clause with ATL

So you expect a newly acquired QB to come in and master the playbook that quickly? This is a big reason why we don't see a lot of in season QB trades, IMO.

While giving him a no trade when you are going to draft a qb in the top 10 is obviously moronic, I could see him waiving it and wanting to leave for a good situation since they put him on the chopping block almost immediately.

The trade deadline is way earlier in the NFL than the NBA or MLB. Like Week 6. Also, I don’t think that contract is tradable in Year 1. The dead cap hit would be astronomical. And nobody taking on that contract is also gonna give up any significant assets. They’d be doing the Falcons a huge solid taking on that contract, they’re not gonna give them 1st and 3nd round draft picks too. Hell, the Falcons would probably have to throw in picks as sweeteners.

There’d no scenario where the Falcons “process” was smart. There’s some where it may work out, but that would be more dumb luck than them being smart.

The sheer number of threads started to try and figure out how it makes sense shows how utterly stupid it is.

Penix and Cousins are good guys who will be remembered as pawns in dumbassery.

The only scenario where it makes sense is if they consider Penix to be a project franchise qb who needs time to rehab from his injuries and improve technique. In that case, he gets two full seasons on the bench behind a veteran starter.

I just don’t understand why you would waste a 1st rounder on a project qb when he probably wouldn’t have been drafted until the 2nd round regardless. That first round pick could have been better spent on their lines.

NFL trades outside of the draft rarely return anything close to equal value.

CmC got the Panthers a 2nd, a 3rd, a couple 4ths, and a 5th. He's one of the best players in the league.

He had his last two seasons uninterrupted by injury, I can’t imagine that would be it.

If you draft a QB at 8th overall and the word "rehab" is anywhere in the conversation, you fricked up. Now throw in they guaranteed $100M at the same position to another QB to win now (or they did) and you doubled down with your frickery.

By far the biggest issue with the pick. A single defensive player had yet to be chosen. There were a dozen choices available that would be a day 1 starter at a position of need,

Is anyone as dumb as the falcons to take on that contract with Cousins? No matter how desperate?

I don’t think so.

Even so the Falcons I think would have to eat all the guaranteed money and the cap hit would be enormous
