The Atlanta Falcons shocked nearly everyone in and around the NFL when they chose quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth overall pick in the 2024 draft.

During the first episode of the Netflix series "Quarterback," not only did Cousins say the he felt "misled" by the Falcons during free agency in 2024, but he insinuated that he would NOT have signed in Atlanta if he had known that the Falcons were planning to take a quarterback with the eighth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft,

Kirk Cousins is making a lot of money to be a backup quarterback right now for the Atlanta Falcons behind Michael Penix Jr. There's a wild scenario, though, where Cousins can add $8 million to his already hefty payday.
