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

Falcons keep Cousins, triggering bonus guarantee

The Falcons kept 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.

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

 

[stormtrooper8]

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
