Kirk Cousins will be joined by rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in the quarterback room this season, but he's no stranger to these types of situations.
NFL quarterback Kirk Cousins inked a four-year, $180 million deal with the Atlanta Falcons in March. The following month, the team drafted Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the No. 8 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. While almost everyone, including Cousins, was perplexed by the Falcons' decision at the time, this will not be the first time Cousins has had to deal with quarterback competition in the locker room.
' Falcons' team owner Arthur Blank told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tuesday, that the team did inform Cousins that they would probably draft a quarterback in the 2024 Draft, but according to multiple reports, the Penix draft pick was not revealed until the team was on the clock. Blank confirmed in the interview that Cousins is the franchise and starting quarterback. But, one thing the 13-year NFL veteran is all too familiar with is having another quarterback gunning for his job.
