Sports Illustrated still questions Atlanta Falcons off-season decisions

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Sports Illustrated’s Matt Verderame has identified the best and worst off-season moves of 2024, with the Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers standing out for different reasons. Verderame praises the Steelers for their savvy quarterback moves, including acquiring Kenny Pickett and Russell Wilson at a low cost. However, the Atlanta Falcons’ off-season raises more questions than answers, particularly with their high-risk signing of Kirk Cousins and drafting of Michael Penix, Jr.

General manager Terry Fontenot initially made a smart gamble by signing Cousins to a lucrative contract, despite his age and injury history. However, the Falcons’ decision to draft Penix in the top ten, instead of addressing other pressing needs like edge rusher, has raised eyebrows. The lack of financial advantage from Penix’s rookie contract is a major concern, as it limits the team’s flexibility for the next few years.

While the Falcons are taking a significant risk with their quarterback decisions, there is potential for a high reward if Penix proves to be a successful long-term starter. The margin for error is slim, but if everything falls into place, Atlanta could have stability at the quarterback position for years to come. Ultimately, the Falcons’ off-season moves will be closely scrutinized, as they have placed a big bet on the future of their quarterback room.
