This does not bode well for them signing future free agents
They pretty much signed Cousins under false pretenses, not a cool it or honorable thing to do to a player

Yeah, veterans just hate it when a team throws $180 million dollars at them.

I don't think they like being the butt of the joke year after year so makes sense bringing in the next big thing even if you already have one. Gonna create a lot of friction in the QB room. the waiting is the hardest part of the long game but if they get the timing down they'll be the envy of the league. Not going to happen it's the falcons.

No one will be envious of them. Maybe it works out for them, but NO ONE will be envious.

I think last year Atlanta was considered a QB away from being a good team. They have tried to remedy that with a plan A and plan B. I don’t know if it will work out but I see the vision. I don’t understand the visceral criticism. It’s a strategy much like every other team develops a strategy. Some work and some don’t, but sometimes an unorthodox approach changes the game. The real problem is drafting bad players. The problem is not when you have too many good players at the same position. It’s like us and Kool-Aid. If we evaluate DBs well then keep drafting them. Don’t stop because we have three already.

This is a different idea but it's the same thing essentially. Nobody wants to trade a first to a team for a player and then have to give that player a huge contract. This is the same thing, they used a high pick on a guy and signed someone to a huge contract. If they didn't give Cousins such a large contract, no one would be batting an eye.

The thing that everyone is overlooking is that the Falcons are potentially going on a 7th losing season.
Not 7 seasons with 9 wins, but no playoffs.
Seven losing seasons.
That isn’t just a losing streak. That is losing a generation of fans.
And that is WITHOUT 28-3!
