Please trade his aas now!!!
Kirk Cousins doesn’t work on Tuesdays. Know who else doesn’t work on Tuesdays? At least when November rolls around it’s Kamala Harris.
There once was a quarterback I’ll call Kirk,
Who for some was a salary cap jerk.
Won one playoff game,
300 million’s his fame.
It’s time in Atlanta for a Young Turk.
I agree with Florio. Cousins loves living in North Georgia and you know he’s got a nice crib. Why sweat it just get your money. Stay in shape and see what comes your way.
Falcons DESERVE THIS!!!
Sitting on the bench while collecting a big pile of money sounds like a pretty good gig.
Y'all always speak in terms of "who has the leverage." Fans would be better served if you spoke in terms of what's best for the team
Yesterday, he said that Kirk was not a starting caliber quarterback in the eyes of most NFL teams which is why no one wants to pay the salary. If he were, $27 million for a good starting quarterback is a bargain. Now he's saying that Kirk has all the leverage. You can't have leverage if no one wants you to be what you want to be. The situation is essentially a wash. The Falcons are stuck with a very expensive quarterback who is looked at as mainly a backup or perhaps bridge quarterback. Kirk cousins is stuck as a backup quarterback making starter quarterback money.
kirk leverage? he's been paid already he has none. Show up to work and they'll decide whats best.
Kirk Cousins, 6th highest career earnings in NFL history. Fitting that he'd end up in this kind of situation.
He will get more money for doing nothing than Fields signed for, 1 season of his money is generational money for most people, I was quite surprise Rodgers gave 10s of millions back to a billionaire, he thought too much of himself. He is not going to play and the Falcons are not good, I can't believe he would play hardball with the trade clause given the money they gave him.
With Penix very average play last season, and his right knee being a ticking time bomb, Cousins would probably end up starting for the Falcons sooner rather than later anyway.
The irony of this whole thing is Michael Penix’s injury history. They’re going to cut or trade cousins and then Penix is gonna get hurt. He’s got a long history and he has yet to face a 17 game season ever.
Many players and QBs do not work on Tuesday including Mahomes. BTW Kirk doesn't attend the facility on Tuesdays he ACTUALLY does do work on Tues: physical stuff and any game related stuff KOC wants to do.
KC specializes in screwing teams! He held the Vikings hostage with his contracts, and he never took pay cuts when all other players were forced to renegotiate so that the team could always add more offensive talent around him because he is a one dimensional QB who isn’t capable of raising the level of talent around him! All KC cares about is his bank account, and I was hoping they would get rid of him for 3 years before he left! I hope nobody bails out Atlanta and he sits on their bench until his contract runs out!
The problem with Cousins is that no teams want him for that much and Atlanta will not cut him and eat all that money. This will only work if Kirk agrees to a new contract or Atlanta agrees to eat some of the money.
Kirk Cousins 2 Atlanta: "F U pay me!" 🤑💰The Falcons made this mess so now it's on them 2 clean it up.
Did we forget Penix had a bunch of injuries in college?
Kirk is pretty good at self scouting thyself….
didnt Atlanta just pickup a 3rd qb? I think they plan on offloading him no matter what.
Best business man in the NFL.
