Kirk Cousins is now a Falcon.
https://www.yahoo.com/sports/kirk-co...182952393.html
You like that? Cousins and the Falcons agreed to a four-year deal, according to reports, though the contract can't officially be signed until Wednesday. It's a massive deal for a quarterback who has done well to max out his earnings. The deal will be for $180 million, includes a $50 million signing bonus and includes a total of $100 million guaranteed, according to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero. |

I just can't believe that anyone would give Kirk Cousins $45 million/yr after tearing his ACL at age 36.

He probably makes Atlanta the favorite in the worst division in football.
But Cousins isn't suddenly going to become a clutch playoff performer when he gets them to the playoffs. |

After seeing the QB documentary and observing his wife (who is from Georgia) when I heard Atlanta was interested I had a feeling the Vikings would be without him soon.

At least a rookie would inject some hope and anticipation. But I've seen this movie already so I guess it's unfair for me to spoil the ending. Go Steve Bono Elvis Grbac Matt Cassell I mean Tyler Palko ![]() |

Eh, at least with Cousins you know exactly what you're getting. He's better than JAG. A legit top-12 NFL QB. With a rook, you have no idea how that'll pan out. ATL has been rolling 7-10 three seasons in a row now with below-average QB play. Kirk should be efficient enough to get them another 2 or 3 Ws, which should get them into the playoffs. Something they haven't been able to do for, what is it, 5-6 seasons now? And they have a nice pile of good young talent at WR and RB, along with a decent defense. They need to become a playoff team again asap, before they waste all those cheap contracts. Cousins is good enough to get them there, if he's 100% recovered from his Achilles injury. Though $45 million/yr AAV just seems nuts to me. Basically, they're saying that he's better than Stafford. |

Cousins will throw for thirty five touchdowns a year and 4500 yards (with six picks). He's Drew Bree's-lite. GTFO with the Alex Smith nonsense. Cousins name gets sullied because he likes to pad his stats and had made questionable decisions late in playoff games and has earned half a billion dollars in guaranteed cash. But he's won playoff games against Drew Bree's and had big games in the playoffs too. He's not Lamar Jackson. He's got a 93 rating and threw for five touchdowns and one interception in the playoffs.
