It makes perfect sense for both sides. The Falcons would be able to fast track the start of the Penix era, while the Giants would land a rock-solid veteran (that they could ditch after a year if he doesn’t pan out) to help them win games now/ease the transition of the rookie quarterback.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. discussed his confidence in starter Kirk Cousins amidst a three-game span without a touchdown pass.

It was always going to end like this. I think Falcons’ fans are more shocked it happened this quickly. The Kirk Cousins experience has been just that, a wild experience, and after yesterday’s home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Atlanta fans are calling for Cousins’ head and rightfully so.
