I said it before and I will say it again. That press conference was Terry fontenot telling the rest of the NFL that there was not going to be another Russell Wilson situation. We are not going to pay Kirk cousins $40 million to play for another team. Kurt can sit as the backup and earn his 40 million. If another team truly wants Kurt, they can come seek him in a trade. But if no teams come after him, that gives the falcons more leverage. It means Kirk can waste another year sitting behind panics as a 37 about to be 38-year-old quarterback coming off bad film or he can renegotiate his contract. By renegotiating his contract, it could help the falcons, but it could also make him more attractive to another team if it's a more tradable contract.
Guarantee Kirk won't be a Falcon next season. Would be nice to get a draft choice for him. Hopefully not low choice. He can still play . I think injuries were the big reason he could not perform. Why not take a flyer on him seeing that enough teams need a QB.
Uhhh, it’s not spite to ask an employee to work. If Kirk doesn’t want to play backup for the Falcons, he can resign and void his contract. Then go work for whatever team that wants to sign him, at whatever salary they negotiate.
We have top 12 QB finally and he will get better 😅No matter what it took to get him,. M penix and our O will save everyone’s job. Now build on the defense .. rise up 🏹 15:02
Don't understand how Fontenot came to the Falcons after having the reputation of evaluating players and then failing so badly in both free agency and the draft. Who looked at Cousins and told Arthur Blank that he would be ready ready to play when the season started and then when did they decide that they needed a QB now?
@@ghulsey45 every GM has hits and misses. I would not say that he failed. Jesse Bates was a free agent. Not a fail. Kaden Ellis was a free agent. Not a fail. Bijon Robinson was not a fail. Drake London was not a fail. Now, I will give you that cow pits looks like a swinging and miss. The Kirk cousins situation was definitely questionable. But I wouldn't say that every move that he's made has been a bad one. I think he's probably graded out around a C. He's not winning any awards, but he hasn't flunked out.
David wasn’t a fail last year , mooney wasn’t a fail this year everybody and their mom was excited about the justin simmons signing and judon trade. they just didn’t play well this season. that’s not on the gm
They already paid him for the most part, so spend more money on a back up? Nah dude, they're not cutting him for nothing. He will be traded or he's a Falcon for at least another year.
What gets me is…why doesn’t the Falcons organization ever get it right? Analysts, fans, and podcasters have a better idea of what we need than the leadership does. Blank needs to step aside or talk to his successful owner buddies and figure out what they do right and mimic that.
The Pundits don’t ever get it right! If they did they would go be GM’s you have to build some consistency. NFL is a for profit business for Entertainment purposes. They will get it figured out.
If we got any of those pass rushes you're talking about that are doing well this year we wouldn't have Michael Phoenix.We would be looking for a quarterback for the next few years
Kirk may want to restructure and make his home here in ATL. He's got a positive swag surfing reputation here, why kill the vibe over money he'll never need?
@JoeDirt12500 Joe Dirt, if he doesn't restructure, he has to deal with the consequences of his INLAWS. He threw the most INTs in the NFL, he isn't going to a contender.
@@anonymousreviewer116 deal with his inlaws? That is a dumb ass take. I'm sure his inlaws are very happy he's making millions of dollars a year to take care of their daughter. I'm sure they aren't as fanatical or dramatic as you are. No this was a terrible decision and now the team will suffer for another of Terry's dumb ass mistakes
this team need a CB2 a Nickle CB a SS a DT a ILB a WR2 a TE1 a RT this team needs so man holes filled they cannot afford to use picks on more than 1 edge rusher they also need LT soon and another DT if Grady don't take a pay cut
Kurt Warner was benched by The Cardinals. The next season, he nearly won a Super Bowl. Cousins will be the back-up until the organizatiom needs him. They cannot taken.his "cap hit".
I just do not agree with the “it’s in Kirk’s hands” sentiment. You 100% can keep him and hold him hostage if that’s what you want to call it. With the understanding that if you want to play somewhere we will trade you there. I’m sure there are financial consequences for Kirk refusing to participate in offseason activities etc. Teams hold players “hostage” all the time. This is the NFL.
Agreed. And Kirk doesn’t seem like the type of guy to do that anyway. I think he’ll be a professional. But I also think he still wants to play and be a starter. So I see him agreeing to a trade. We may have to pay some of the salary with a new team but it’ll be worth it.
It's definitely in Kirk's hands. If they want to trade him they can't until he agrees. If he doesn't want to be a back up then they will feel compelled to cut him. They don't want that negative image on the franchise by holding him hostage.
Negative image my a$$ Tired of worrying about how we look. We need some dogs playing and coaching. Yes men is what got us here. Kirk signed the contract. A starting position is not a guarantee. But you getting paid and you showing up is a guarantee
It was a failure from the start from OWNERSHIP, FRONT OFFICE BRASS, SCOUTING, COACHING, all the way down to the waterboy for this team. THE FANS DESERVE BETTER..... ARTHUR BLANK DO US A FAVOR AND SELL THIS TEAM. IF NOT AT LEAST RENAME US FOR WHAT WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN, THE ATLANTA FAL CLOWNS!!
It just sucks that kurt got so much bad tape out. He simply lost his job to a better player through mostly his fault. No teams are in competition to get kurt at all.
My question is KC still able to QB? I cannot but feel his Achilles injury is still an issue with his game. If not this, what else? If he is still able to QB at a normal backup level , I 🤔 think he can restructure his contract to stay in Atlanta as he will be pressured by his wife who wants to stay in the Atlanta area.
I am also in the full belief that Atlanta has been lacking a REAL white boy for the longest time, that is why I propose that they trade for Max Crosby and still draft an edge rusher in the first round.
The Falcons are the Cleveland Browns on the NFC. 60 Yeats losers. Terrell didn't deserve an extension, they need to trade Pitts, he is the pits. Finally, I'm going over to the Commanders as a new fan.

I hope so
It sounded more like to me Terry telling the NFL that he has no clue what he's doing
Panics?
I like this thought. Stand strong. Everyone says Kirk holds the cards but the cards can always be turned if you handle yourself right. Always
Guarantee Kirk won't be a Falcon next season. Would be nice to get a draft choice for him. Hopefully not low choice. He can still play . I think injuries were the big reason he could not perform. Why not take a flyer on him seeing that enough teams need a QB.
Wsup fellas. How bout Bralen Trice? I know he coming off a knee injury also
Uhhh, it’s not spite to ask an employee to work. If Kirk doesn’t want to play backup for the Falcons, he can resign and void his contract. Then go work for whatever team that wants to sign him, at whatever salary they negotiate.
I could give a damn what Kirk Cousins wants. He can either work with us on a trade or walk on the sideline with a clip board no Option C. Be mad.
I’m not sure why Jarvis keeps mentioning Verse. He was right about him but I’m taking Penix over verse 100x
We have top 12 QB finally and he will get better 😅No matter what it took to get him,. M penix and our O will save everyone’s job. Now build on the defense .. rise up 🏹 15:02
Love the intro 😂
Everybody worried about the money. Terry strait

shit, the kirk signing wasn’t a fail up until after they started 6-3
Once other teams have video of Penix and these other rookie QBs, they same veteran QBs will rise to the top.
They already paid him for the most part, so spend more money on a back up? Nah dude, they're not cutting him for nothing. He will be traded or he's a Falcon for at least another year.
As far as the draft goes
look at Jacksonville as a trade down partner. Example trade your second for a 3rd and 4th.
They are going to draft Emeka Egbuka and you are going to like it 😂
14:22 ts cracks me up b/c Aaron knows we’re taking another WR in the first round 😂
What gets me is…why doesn’t the Falcons organization ever get it right? Analysts, fans, and podcasters have a better idea of what we need than the leadership does. Blank needs to step aside or talk to his successful owner buddies and figure out what they do right and mimic that.
The Patriots were the gold standard in consistency now they’re firing coaches after a year. That’s what not having a qb will do to any franchise.
The Pundits don’t ever get it right! If they did they would go be GM’s you have to build some consistency. NFL is a for profit business for
Entertainment purposes. They will get it figured out.

Because he still thinks he can play
@@devonh-fg4so yes and no. We don't know, he might still like to think so but reality might also be setting in.
Yall ate dreaming if you thing he's restructuring anything. It was a terrible move to begin with and now they are dealing with the consequences
@JoeDirt12500 Joe Dirt, if he doesn't restructure, he has to deal with the consequences of his INLAWS. He threw the most INTs in the NFL, he isn't going to a contender.

I think it's possible that Kirk Cousins takes a pay cut and returns to the Falcons as a backup.
this team need a CB2 a Nickle CB a SS a DT a ILB a WR2 a TE1 a RT this team needs so man holes filled they cannot afford to use picks on more than 1 edge rusher they also need LT soon and another DT if Grady don't take a pay cut
They will use the players they have and for the needs, the draft and free agency.
We need a corner. Coverage sacks
THEY DIDN'T HAVE A CLAUSE IN THIS CONTRACT FOR SUBPAR PLAY ESPECIALLY AFTER HIS ACHILLES INJURY....... That was kind of dumb
Kurt Warner was benched by The Cardinals. The next season, he nearly won a Super Bowl.
Cousins will be the back-up until the organizatiom needs him. They cannot taken.his "cap hit".

Yep, he didn’t play well enough or as expected, HOLD HIS ASS HOSTAGE.

It just sucks that kurt got so much bad tape out. He simply lost his job to a better player through mostly his fault.
No teams are in competition to get kurt at all.
I have it on good authority Kirk will go to the Colts

We lost draft picks we lost games because of Kuzins keep him hell we paid gor hom
Which is about what most teams are paying for decent quarterback play and for some sorry ass quarterback play too.......... But no it's a smokescreen
Ok, I am reading the tea leafs. 😢 Expect another loosening season in 2025.
Jimmy lake is absolutely booty and look for about 8-9 wins next year
Falcons will trade kirk for DeShawn, bunch of dummies since 1966
at 15 there are not EDGE players who can start and produce right away the Penn St edge will be long gone he is a day 1 starter
