The Atlanta Falcons made the most peculiar draft selection this past weekend when they chose Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Terry Fontenot, the general manager, then tried to defend his choice. Fans were never going to fully buy into what he was peddling, no matter how he spun it. Everyone on this team is aware that a different course should have been taken. But whatever is done is done, and Phoenix is a Falcon. It was only recently that Fontenot stated he could not envision Penix sitting for four or five years. Thus, what is now the situation with Kirk Cousins, who the Falcons signed to a lucrative four-year contract? The Falcons would never consider moving Cousins in the near future, is there? Following the selection of Michael Penix Jr., may the Falcons trade Kirk Cousins? Is it possible that a Cousins trade will occur? When, if so?At least one Cousins trade could happen this year, according to NBC Sports’ Mike Florio, who cited specifics from his contract: “Cousins might decide he wants to move out,” writes Florio. “After June 1st, he could theoretically be moved for $37.5 million in 2025 and $12.5 million in dead money this year. His cap hit if he stays with the team the next season is expected to be $40 million; if he is traded after the season, the charge in 2025 will be $37.5 million.” Given that Cousins hasn’t yet started playing for the Falcons, a trade sounds ludicrous, but Florio believes Atlanta may have outwitted itself. Penix will not sit for four or five years as G.M. Terry Fontenot has proposed. In the event that Cousins is hurt, it’s one at most and three at most. Two is the most likely number. Even though Cousins has a no-trade clause, if Penix takes over at that point, he would definitely think about waiving it in order to play somewhere else.” It is evident that the cap makes it very tough for the Falcons to complete a trade for Cousins. It would have to be a circumstance that is virtually like Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos. Could tensions between the two sides really go that bad, though? Wilson’s relationship with the Broncos was entirely unrelated. In Atlanta, cousins appear to be appreciated and desired, but Wilson? That ship has sailed. Even if it appears improbable, Florio’s remark of this is noteworthy. […]
QB Michael Penix Jr. of the Atlanta Falcons has a lengthy history of injuries, and there are concerns over his age. Positive impressions of Michael Penix Jr., the new quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, are prevalent. Perhaps it was him lifting the Sugar Bowl trophy after guiding Washington to a College Football Playoff semifinal victory over the Texas Longhorns, or perhaps it was him as a finalist for the Heisman Trophy. Others, however, may witness him collapsing to the ground during Indiana’s 2021 defeat to Penn State in the third quarter, sustaining his fourth serious collegiate injury in as many seasons. Penix has literally had some bumps and bruises on his trip to Flowery Branch. Three games into his true freshman season in 2018, the product of Tampa, Florida, tore his left ACL. 2020 saw him re-tear the same ACL. His right (non-throwing) shoulder experienced a dislocated SC joint in the interim. After just five games in 2021, he dislocated a joint in his throwing shoulder. His season ended with each injury. He never played more than seven games in a single year until leaving Indiana following the 2021 campaign. Penix, however, found consistency at Washington, where he started all 28 games over the course of two seasons and demonstrated his durability throughout a lengthy campaign. The Falcons dug deep into Penix’s injury history during the pre-draft phase, with general manager Terry Fontenot and crew spending a lot of time with Atlanta’s trainers and medical staff. With the conviction that Penix’s injury issues are behind him, the Falcons selected him eighth overall after clearing Penix and feeling so confident in his on-field skill set. Fontenot stated, “It does mean a lot that he’s played well these last two years.” “We felt good about it, but obviously we’re always thinking forward and doing everything we can to prevent injuries.” Furthermore, Penix’s injuries provided favourable information to Atlanta’s braintrust. Penix, who finished third in touchdowns with 36 this past season and led the FBS with 4,903 throwing yards, was praised for his resilience by both Falcons head coach Raheem Morris and Fontenot. Morris contrasted Penix’s experience with his own, which included going 4-7 as Atlanta’s interim head coach in 2020 and being sacked by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2011 following a disastrous tenure as a young head coach. Penix and the two veterans who occupy the quarterback’s room in Atlanta right now, Kirk Cousins and Taylor Heinicke, have certain things in common as well. The largest obstacle Cousins had in his early career was getting on the field; in his first three seasons as Robert Gryphon III’s backup with the now-Washington Commanders, he made just nine starts. Heinicke’s journey began on the practice squad of the Minnesota Vikings and included […]
The New England Patriots declared themselves “open for business” with regards to dealing the third overall pick before the NFL draft. New England is said to have had bids for the pick, and the Patriots trading the pick would have upset the first round. However, the Patriots just paid attention to them. The quarterback Drake Maye of North Carolina was chosen by the Patriots instead of making any deals. According to NFL Media’s Daniel Jeremiah, New England’s standing pat caused things to remain unchanged early in the first round—aside from the Atlanta Falcons selecting Michael Penix Jr.—and caused one team in particular to alter its strategy. “From what I’ve heard, as we neared the finish line, there were offers, and they were really, really strong offers. They remained still. On “The Pat McAfee Show” on Monday, Jeremiah mentioned that there were sticking and plucking. We were all sort of keeping our eyes on Minnesota until they started staying and choosing. If they were prepared to deal with assets and put everything on the line to acquire Drake Maye, but if they were unable to do so, they planned to wait out and watch what transpired with the Giants, and I believed that the top pick in the draft would become quite stagnant. And that’s essentially how things worked out in the end. With Kirk Cousins leaving this offseason, the Giants selected LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers at sixth overall, while the Vikings, needing a quarterback, traded with the New York Jets to move up one spot and choose Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy with the 10th pick. There were supposedly trade discussions between the Vikings and the Patriots for the third pick, but nothing came of it. It was said that Minnesota was prepared to forfeit several picks in order to move up into the top three.However, it’s clear that the Patriots were not enticed to give up their position by the trade offers. McCarthy is now receiving the keys to the Vikings franchise instead of the other way around.
Jerod Mayo has been talking about his buddy from the Patriots. Tom Brady’s coaching career at the New England Patriots is “always open,” according to head coach Jerod Mayo. After 20 years and six Super Bowls with the Pats, Brady announced his retirement from the game in 2022. However, he did acknowledge this month that he would “not be opposed” to a playing return if the right situation presented itself. While he was cool to see Brady back in pads, Mayo—who succeeded the legendary Bill Belichick as New England’s head coach at the end of the previous season—discussed his old teammate on “The Greg Hill Show” on WEEI. He also said he wouldn’t think twice about giving Brady his first coaching position. The inexperienced head coach declared, “The door is always open if he wants to come in here and coach.” “But I’m not sure about going on the pitch.” August will mark Brady’s 47th birthday, and Mayo doesn’t think he’ll be playing football anytime soon. He said, “I don’t think he’s going to be coming through these doors anytime soon.” Brady inked a ten-year contract worth up to $375 million, and he will start as an analyst for Fox for the upcoming season. But it hasn’t eliminated speculation about whether he would want to play again. When asked if he would contemplate a return if a playoff-bound team lost its starting quarterback to injury late in the season last month, Brady responded, “I’m not opposed to it.” “I have no idea whether they’ll let me; I have no idea if I end up owning an NFL franchise. I promise to never go out of shape and to always be able to toss the ball. I wouldn’t be against it, but I’m not sure whether they would let me. The Patriots seem to have their quarterback situation locked up after selecting Drake Maye with their third overall draft choice last week. Veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett was also added to the squad after being signed as a free agent.
