Minny’s boy Cousins in a money making machine

[BigJay]

Probably the most polarizing NFL player in forumville (other than maybe @stormtrooper8 ’s Josh Allen) is obviously Kirk Cousins

@MinnesotaFats just keeps finding a way to make money

Why the hell did Atlanta keep Cousins past this deadline, unlocking another guaranteed $10 million, when almost everyone knows he will be playing elsewhere next season

Or will he? Who knows? Thought Atlanta was definitely Penix’s team now

Sources: Falcons to keep Cousins past deadline

The Falcons will keep quarterback Kirk Cousins on their roster past 4 p.m. ET Saturday, triggering a guarantee on a $10 million roster bonus that is due in 2026, sources told ESPN's Field Yates and Adam Schefter.

They have Pennix on a cheap contract and they are taking the cap hit anyway around it - and likely paying a significant chunk of that money if they do manage to trade him. Guess they are just playing a game of chicken with all the QB needy teams who don’t get their guy in the draft or who decide it’s better to give up a 3rd or 4th rounder for Cousins than wasting a 1st rounder on Sanders.

But yea - I don’t get it. He’s decent - possibly above average - but if Pennix struggles even a little - they have a potential headache on their hands. You’ll have a supposedly now healthy Cousins saying he can do better - and in that division it’s anyone’s to win every year.

Let him go - quit playing games hoping to look smarter than what you are. You overpaid and got burned - enjoy your cheap starting QB who you invested a high pick in and move on. He’s going to sign somewhere else cheap - no one is taking on even half that contract and giving a pick of any consequence. Either your paying most of the money to get a middle of the draft pick or your getting nothing but a 7th rounder back at best.

That must be it Jeffery. Hoping to get a 3-5 draft pick maybe last minute this year or most likely post 2025 draft picks for next season

Not sure if that’s worth $10 mil especially since a trade partner for cousins definitely not guaranteed

I like Pennix

I like Pennix

I wasn’t too sure of him watching his college play but I like what I saw in limited action last year

great offensive weapons around him in London, Bijan, Mooney and even Pitts

I like Penis

We know man

Atlanta proving to be a very poorly run team.

Kirk improved them and they would have made the playoffs had they stuck with him.

Penix lost to Carolina to wreck the season

 

[Archie]

it was a shame they pulled Kirk, he was on a crazy hot INT streak

15 ints in.the last 8 games of the year was well within reach

 

[MinnesotaFats]

Not all interceptions are created equal.

3rd and long, end of half, tipped ball, etc.

Guy throws more picks than Razor Ramon.

I think he just went color blind after the Achilles surgery
