Falcons tried adding another quarterback, put in waiver claim for former Patriot, per report
The Atlanta Falcons made a big splash during free agency by adding Kirk Cousins, arguably the top quarterback available on the market. The team then provided the biggest surprise of the 2024 NFL Draft when it selected Michael Penix Jr. at No. 8 overall. It was a shocking decision considering they gave Cousins a four-year, $180 million deal.
