It's was dead cap money whether he played or not.
Sounds like the Falcons are going to do the same thing Denver did with their quarterback situation that’s is awful I know Mr Blanks is going to have some serious conversations with the GM
If penix is able to use everything he learned from kirk and is a good QB none of this matters because the plan worked.
Yup, TF is done, and gives validity to Belicheats comment about Terry acting like he knows everything…this and C plus draft grade over his tenure..
Personally, I wouldn't cut him. He would be an expensive backup. If he wants to play, restructure the contract and give us a refund.
He don't get to play like this and get rewarded. We need to play hard ball
65mil to release him outright
These greedy punks fleece the owners. They don't get their money's worth outta the players. Just ridiculous!!
The same thing happened to Aaron Rodgers,and look at the Jets,they over valued Kurt,and Rogers ,but tore Russel Wilson and Justin Fields down to the ground. But look at Pittsburgh record and look out record
All decent QBs get paid, it is what it is.
What’s good with you Smitty and it is what it is and I think they will take the 2 year route for the dead cap hit instead of the one year dead cap hit for Kirk with the first year being $40M and the second year $25M.
Terry & Raheem gotta go. Both a joke.
Smitty don't you think cousins is a god fearing man..doesn't he realize that if u dont produce you sit..
I still feel like the cousins thing was blanks call
I think kirk retires and enjoys his money and family. 2 teams in 2 years , his confidence gotta be low . He's played a good career but its time to hang it up. Plus his wife from atl so i think hes done
He needs to retire. There's not much left in the tank. If Kirko continues to go forward- he could make a fool of himself. Usually save Tom Brady you tend to get worst than better. As a Christian man, i don't think Kirk Cousin's is interested in fleecing the Falcons.
So… they didn’t learned anything the way they handled Matt Ryan. History repeats itself when there’s stupidity is involved 😂
GM needs to be fired for..
Smitty this entire situation is sad! The way KC played the last 5 games was the exact way he played the FIRST game. KC and his agent juke Terry into believing he was ready but in fact he was still recovering. I feel sorry for Blank because he has giving everyone a chance but how we handled Matt Ryan situation is Karma friend, this team is too good on offense to have 7 losses and two were blowouts. We made the Raiders look good on Monday night Football. Terry and KC are gone. The only thing Terry did right was drafting Micheal it he did it because he knew KC was still recovering so we got common S fans
Falcons don't know what the f they're doing anyway. Just what they criticized other teams for doing. all wild emotion and direction changing. whatever
I cant wait the PENIX ERA will begin tommorow!!
I was happy we got kirk but i like Justin fields more and i really wanted justin he was 40 cheaper and 12 years younger or something he 24 to 26
Kirk needs to retire, he forgot how to play football 😂 … Naw but all jokes aside, he's washed for real
TERRY FONTINO AND RAHEEM MORRIS WANTED KIRK COUSIN AT ANY COST BUT THEY DID KNOW THERE IS A PRICE TO PAY WITH THAT KIND OF MONEY INVOLVED SO RAHEEM MORRIS AND TERRY FONTINO NEED TO BE FIRED KEEPING IT A BUCK
THAT was the wors Deal ever in football history Atlanta FALCONS ORGANIZATION is garbage they never stop making us look like the laughing franchise in the national league FACTS
I believe the Kirk Cousins situation isn't as significant as it seems since the team has Penix Jr. on a rookie contract. Additionally, the Falcons have multiple options to maneuver their cap space, allowing for the possibility of acquiring more players. The salary cap is also projected to increase next year. While things may appear concerning at this moment, I trust that the general manager is taking steps to reduce the impact or explore alternatives. Ultimately, if Penix performs well, the concerns surrounding Kirk Cousins' contract will likely fade away.
ITS NOT KIRK COUSIN MAKING THESE DEALS I ANT MAD AT HIM I'M MAD AT TERRY FONTINO AND RAHEEM MORRIS GOING TO RICH MCKAY AND AND ARUTHER BLANKS TO OK THIS BAD DEAL PEOPLE NEED TO BE RELEASED ASAP FACTS.
For a 95 Windows program that is Kirk I am Washed 3rd Cuz0. So Raheem and Terry Better be looked hard for sure. I am happy Penix is playing but I feel Raheem didn't help Penix
Why Terry on the hot set we let a Gm f us over maybe it's time to get rid of his friends in the front office and let the Gm do his job
Sports Teams need to start giving players base salaries and incentives that way when they play well they get paid and when they don’t they get their base salary. Stop paying folks for stuff they did in the past especially if they did it for another team.
1: All of this speculation is coming from alleged "NFL executives." We've watched this kind of social media hysteria play out before this week. Until the front office executes an actual release of Cousins, I don't buy it. 2: The cog that fell to start all of this was Blank twisting TF's arm to openly wreck the Matt Ryan relationship and pursue Watson. They don't go there and this could be a different story. 3: Yea. The contract was expensive, but would Fields have been any more successful?? Idk.
It’s time for Raheem Morris to coach Kyle Pitts route running that is your fault Raheem you can do a better job at making him cut harder to get separation. He runs routes in a straight line or just curved. You can do better coaching in that on defense, you doing better on your pass rush what you can’t let thereceivers get behind the deep safety nobody should get behind the deep safety. You got a coach that
