Following the close of the NFL offseason activities, fans are left pondering unresolved issues on their teams' rosters. A notable case is the Atlanta Falcons' decision to retain quarterback Kirk Cousins despite planning to start Michael Penix Jr. Cousins's substantial guaranteed salary and a roster bonus contributed to the Falcons' reluctance to cut ties, indicating that the managementâs financial commitment influences decisions. Fans may question the thought process behind enduring Cousins as a backup, but financial prudence and past investments have been key factors in this situation.
'With Atlanta set to start Michael Penix Jr. at quarterback this season, Cousins surely would have enjoyed the opportunity to become a free agent and find a team that offered him a chance to start.'
'They signed Cousins for $100 million in guaranteed money 14 months ago, and team ownership wasn't thrilled about the idea of releasing him after doling out all that money for 14 not-so-great games.'
