If they’re on the hook for the guaranteed $$ if they cut him, I’d force him to stay in a mentor role for Penix which could force another team, and Kirk, to make the trade deal.
I hope that they hang onto them throughout the off-season. Let him heal, most of this has to be physical. Everyone’s better two years after their Achilles injury. See if we can have a quarterback battle next season and just kind of treat this like an injury benching.
@ no doubt. I’m fine with benching him. Give him a year to break up he’ll be able to plant that foot again next year he’ll be able to roll out. Penix will grow from this experience. It’s all still good
6:39 can't say it's a 180mil dollar mistake anymore. Call it a 100mil dollar mistake sure, but we now know Kirk is not staying in Atlanta for more than 2 seasons so the rest of the 80m is irrelevant at this point.
That’d be dumb , if I’m Atlanta I would either hold onto Kirk next year as a backup and just eat that cap or try training him. Worst case scenario is cutting him. Atlanta is not gonna trade him and also give up 1st round picks just to cut his contract short a year
Excited to see the kid play
I'd keep Kirk next year if I have to pay him anyway. Falcons still would need a back-up next year
Kirk’s not staying with this loser organization
Exactly...then after that the cost is only 10M to cut him
If we can get rid of Ridder we can get rid of anybody I tell ya

That’s the best path forward fr.

Kurt will be in Atl next season...unless traded.FYI this is exactly why Atl drafted a QB at 8.
Let kirk heal and since we have to pay him anyway just have a real qb comp next year.

I never understood the concept of "we paid him so we gotta play him". If he sucks, it doesn't matter. Eat the cap hit and put in someone else.
Heck no! #GOBUCS
Atlanta might have throw a few first rounders to move him

Why not just keep Cousins?
No......
