I don't feel bad for Cousins at all, he's a business man and he got all the money he could ever need. But I'm happy that Kwesi didn't give in and resign him. We would not be 12-2 had Cousins was still our QB.
When you are reaching retirement age, the superbowl starts to seem way to far to grasp... might as well secure that bag... He did the smart thing.. had he just kept his mouth shut...
Cousins is the wealthiest “average” quarterback in the history of the NFL. Oh man are the Falcons going to eat some serious dead cap money. I don’t blame Cousins, he knew how to find dreamers. P.T. Barnum said it best, “There’s a sucker born every minute!”
I was a big Kirk apologist, but when he took the money, instead of seeing long-term and taking a small contract that can allow for a championship team to be built around him like Brady did, I lost some respect for him… winning a Super Bowl gives you more earning potential in the long run, if money is all you’re about.
It’s nice not having to make up excuses for Kirk anymore. Good for him negotiating that deal. Sorry it hasn’t worked out for you, Atlanta. Meanwhile Vikings got Darnold out of the recycling bin and are sitting at 12-2. Never would have believed this. SKOL Vikings!
This is a really bold move from Morris. I'm fascinated to see how this turns out. Penix gets the Giants at home to hopefully get his feet wet against a bad team, then a HUGE game at Washington. Good chance that game ends up meaning the #7 seed. Daniels vs. Penix
Cousins was always ridiculously overrated. He's had some great stats, but he just doesn't win. Take away his one great season with the Vikings, and he has a losing record for his career. And he won only one playoff game in 13 seasons. And somehow, the Falcons were dumb enough to give him a dump truck full of guaranteed money. All the proof you need that some of the league's GM's aren't exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer.
I think the Falcons are doing the right thing. If Penix can get them in the playoffs they will know right away they have their future quarterback. I’d take the risk.
This is essentially exactly why the Penix pick was criticized. It wasn't because people were low on Penix. Common sense was you either pay and ride with Cousins or draft the rookie. There was never a need to do both.
Kirk is my guy. I would’ve given anything for him to win a ring here in Minnesota. Even though it’s not looking good I hope he rebounds next season and does well in Atlanta or with another team. Miss you number 8 🫡
Sign Sam to a big deal??? It's this stuff that worries me. I know they're not the same QB, but one good year shouldnt warrant $35-$40 mil/year for 3-4 years. Love Sam, but trust the plan. Now Sam, go get yourself & us a championship!
I like Kirk, I understand people don't like him but he's a great guy who was great in Minnesota for his last years. He played at an MVP level his past two seasons, and I hate to see Kirk struggling 😥
@@karenhardie1132 The only time I would say he was built for success was over the 2022 and 2023 seasons. 2022 season was ruined by Ed Donatell being one.of the worst defensive coordinators and 2023 was ruined by injuries
The Falcons are simply a messed up organization. Questionable drafts and choices for head caoch....passing On Jamarr Chase not drafting for pressure on the QB. The list of bad calls gets longer and longer. Bench Kirko for an old old back up?...what next.
Honestly when cousins retires I can see him running a Fortune 500 company. People think he’s cringe. And soft. And almost airheaded. But if you think about it he’s VERY cut throat. He can manipulate people to like him and think he’s with the team when in reality he’s always only cared about the money. He’s like the NFL’s Kamala. No one knows who he REALLY is. He just tries to pretend to be who he’s currently playing for.
He's very fake, and manipulative. And has used that to his advantage throughout his career. Kirk knows that he'll never be good enough to take a team to a Super Bowl, so cashing in is the next best thing for him.
NFL fan bases are so funny. We had the guy for six years and we were touting him as the greatest thing since sliced bread and could do no wrong and that he was our best chance to win but now that he’s not with us people continually trash him.
Bro idk who tf you were around when he was with us, but NOBODY was saying he’d bring us to a Super Bowl. His prime time and post season stats are such a joke. He was always an average qb
Lmao should have let him finish the season. A rookie qb basically ends their season. Maybe Kirk will sign a one year 10 million deal with us in the off-season to backup JJ or Darnold.
I don't feel bad for Cousins at all, he's a business man and he got all the money he could ever need. But I'm happy that Kwesi didn't give in and resign him. We would not be 12-2 had Cousins was still our QB.
😂😂😂 $100m guaranteed... Kirk took 'em good! Tampering has it's consequences I guess... Karma...
Karma is a beeatch!
When you are reaching retirement age, the superbowl starts to seem way to far to grasp... might as well secure that bag...
He did the smart thing.. had he just kept his mouth shut...
Bum ass vikings fans stay talking about tampering LMAO y'all are not going to the super bowl
He's screwed more people than Ron jermey
Karma isn't real

That's Dak Prescott. Lol
Unlike Andy, I'm so happy he got booed and is now getting benched. Dude has fleeced every team, he was here for 6 years with 1 playoff win. Tf.
Agreed. Kirk is a good dude and I cheered for him and defended him tirelessly while in MN but maaaaan it feels good to be done with him. Skol.
His agent is in the hall of fame!!!😂
At least "Kurt" Cousins can put stacks of money in the trophy room where the builder left room for a Lombardi. Money can't buy love or a Super Bowl.
Haha damnnnn real talk I was gunna say the same thing. Still got some love for kirko chainz but Sammie is exactly what we needed
Guess he finally discovered what the money represents.
Cousins fleeced every team he played on. He needs to retire. Penix finishes out the season.
Retire, (in his doc holiday voice) I'm in my prime 😅
This just proves how great KOC is. I bet he could make Daniel Jones look like a pro bowler
I was a big Kirk apologist, but when he took the money, instead of seeing long-term and taking a small contract that can allow for a championship team to be built around him like Brady did, I lost some respect for him… winning a Super Bowl gives you more earning potential in the long run, if money is all you’re about.
Agreed, except Kirk would've never won a SB with us Vikes, great game manager but never a game changer...
@ he had some baller game winning drives and was really coming into his own with us - a bit of a late bloomer, maybe.
Kirk is the new Jay Cutler. Laughing all the way to the bank like Cutler did
Mature ,Well Rounded Vikings Fans take No Pleasure In Kirks Demise, We Absolutely Love it !!!
It’s nice not having to make up excuses for Kirk anymore. Good for him negotiating that deal. Sorry it hasn’t worked out for you, Atlanta. Meanwhile Vikings got Darnold out of the recycling bin and are sitting at 12-2. Never would have believed this. SKOL Vikings!
Kwesi is a genius. He deserves a raise for that decision
This is crazy . Can’t imagine Kirk sitting on the bench as the backup
Wow. That achillies injury is really kind of a deal breaker on qb's isn't it?
You like that! Skol!
It would be very ironic IF falcons face the Vikings in the playoffs and end up winning that game
This is a really bold move from Morris. I'm fascinated to see how this turns out. Penix gets the Giants at home to hopefully get his feet wet against a bad team, then a HUGE game at Washington. Good chance that game ends up meaning the #7 seed. Daniels vs. Penix
$331.7 million career earnings for Kirk Cousins to date (2012 to Present). Second only to Aaron Rogers by about $10 million.
Let’s hope they don’t slam their Penix in a car door
Kirk had his best game against the 49ers last season... he was in fire and then went down hill (outside his new contract)
His sadness is all for show. He doesnt care about the SB. He getting paid to do nothing. Hes happy but he cant show it to the media
Penix is going to be a stud. Doubt that ages well!!!
And Bo Nix couldn't throw 50 yards, lmao 😂 🤣 😆
I wonder if having competition behind him for the first time, played into his struggles this year?
Cousins is the contract negotiation GOAT
We should all sign a huge thank you card and send it to the Falcons!
Retread lol is the most hilarious thing I've heard in a while
But, he did lead the biggest comeback in NFL history, just last year. That's in the record books.
You can't blame kirk for taking the money.
Kurt's Agent is the GOAT! Finessed so much guaranteed money 😂 BRING IN MPJ!
Glad they waited until after they played us to make this change!
7.14 million per game
I'm so stoked. I wasn't going to start Kirk in my Super-Flex Semifinal match, but I think I'll go with the rookie.
Give Kwesi and KOC all the monies...
Kirk greatest salesman and football player since Al Bundy
Nfl is a business. Most people treat their job the same way. If you can get more don't you take it?
Kirko Chains to Kirko Chained to the bench 🤣🤣🤣. Excited to see Penix play.

Cousins best QB at fleecing Teams for money but also gotta laugh at them for giving him 100 mill guranteed off an injury lol
Im not here to gloat... too much.
💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺
I think the Falcons are doing the right thing. If Penix can get them in the playoffs they will know right away they have their future quarterback. I’d take the risk.
Are we clowning Falcons for being 14 games too late? Bro we started him for 5 years. Who is the real clown? Lol.
Remember when Kirk had the longest active streak of games with a TD?
Kirk, in his prime, was a good starting QB. He’s no longer in his prime. The Falcons were smart to draft Penix, and now you’re seeing why.
Cousins to the titans now
Looks like the Falcons are gonna be in salary cap purgatory now! Sucks to be them!
a lot of pressure on penix. if he bombs the rest of the season, the fanbase will look for blood.
Honestly their fans are just happy if penix doesn't throw picks last 5 weeks been ugly for them
"hahahaha Man, you are one pathetic loser! No offense." - Lloyd Christmas
The bust of Kurt Cousins in Canton Ohio should be a bronzed copy of his contracts.
This is essentially exactly why the Penix pick was criticized. It wasn't because people were low on Penix. Common sense was you either pay and ride with Cousins or draft the rookie. There was never a need to do both.

Go away
Wow, just love the NFL. Only place you can not go to work and earn boat loads of money. What a great sport.
Polyamorous was diabolical. 🤣
Doesnt Kirk also have a no trade clause with ATL?
YOU LIKE THAT?
I still dont feel bad for those tamperers.
Kirk fleeced the league, I mean maximized his value, more than anyone else I can think of.
Hi I'm Dak Prescott 😆
It’s Kirk, not Kurt.
🤣🤣🤣Been waiting all year for this
It is horrible of me, buyut watching some of those chasing money fail.. makes me smile.
Along we DON'T FACE THE PIXS..
Kirk is Quagmires dad
The second time we’ve scammed a team into believing a QB was worth over 100 mil
cousins back on vet min next year as back up/insurance/mentor for JJ???
Blue Door Pub!
Id want Kurt Cousins back....... As a backup!!!!!!!???!!!
Kwesi cooked yet again...
Hahahahaha.... Where are them Cousins fans at??? What's the excuse NOW!!! He will never start another game in NFL but retires rich as a criminal
If they cut Kirk….send him to the browns…
Certified BAG SECURER
Polyamorous 😂🏈🏈SKOL
Give kirk some slack... maybe he knew he was cooked
Hilarious
Who are you trying to fool? Kirk Cousins could never move well. I am so glad he is gone. That was a wasted six years.
Skol! 💜💛🏈
Sign Sam to a big deal??? It's this stuff that worries me. I know they're not the same QB, but one good year shouldnt warrant $35-$40 mil/year for 3-4 years. Love Sam, but trust the plan. Now Sam, go get yourself & us a championship!
Kurt Crusaders! Excuses! Lets hear them! 😂. We like that!!
Penix Envy incoming!
I like Kirk, I understand people don't like him but he's a great guy who was great in Minnesota for his last years. He played at an MVP level his past two seasons, and I hate to see Kirk struggling 😥
One playoff win in 13 years is not good enough.
Captain Choke is a greedy loser! He's all about money and don't give two F*cks about winning. So happy he left MN. Career loser.

I don't think Pennix is going to be worth 1st round
At this point I would rather keep Nick Mullins on the bench than have Cousins back. Yikes! Cousins sucks ass!

*speaking through hand puppet*... Maybe just needs to retire
Look at Andy grinding new content. Kurt Cousins!
😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
ROFL
Love it!
Andy, you should make some Kirk cousins sucks apparel..??. 😂 you know “Kirk is ass”on a can cooler or something.

*kurt

NY, Cleveland, or maybe even SF. I don't think the Wilfs and Kwesi Adofo Mensah want him back in MN.
First?
Kurt to the Jets hahaha 😂
