Cousins explained that he would probably have stayed with the Vikings with the understanding that the two teams intended to write a recruit signal appeller. Atlanta drafted Penix with the eighth overall choice, and Vikings had selected the quarter of Michigan JJ McCarthy with the 10th choice.
“I had no reason to leave Minnesota with how much we loved there, if the two teams will write a quarter-Arrière level. But I also learned in 12 years in this league that you are not entitled. It is a question of being able to win your place and prove yourself.”

Cousins signed a four -year contract with the Falcons, worth up to $ 180 million, but lost the starting station against Penix with only three weeks to do in the season. He went 7-7 and launched 3,508 yards, 18 affected and 16 interceptions. Penix closed the season by going 1-2 as a starting quarter.
“It hurts to get to work, but you have to be an adult,” Cousins said in the episode of the bench. “You have to be an adult man and manage him with maturity. I’m sorry for me and it’s difficult to do, but that’s what you have to do. And so that’s a bit there that my goal went.”
