Last year, the Falcons hired $ 100 million in the quarter-Arrière Kirk Cousins, about six weeks before making a quarter-Arrière Michael Penix Jr. A choice among the first 10.
This year, the possibility of an exchange of cousins is looming on the team.
At a press conference before the department on Wednesday, Director General Terry Fontenot addressed a recent ESPN report that Falcons want a new team to pick up $ 20 million of 37.5 million remaining cousins in complete guarantee.
“We have not put … a number,” said Fontenot to journalists. “We would not share specific conversations with what we do, but no, we did not do it – to answer your question – we did not put a specific number on it.”
Fontenot later reiterated that it is not “exact” to say that they applied a number to what they expect a new team pays.
Cousins has a clause without exchange, which gives it a final word on the question of whether a business occurs. And it is difficult to imagine accepting a profession to a team that will not install it as the starter. If he’s going to be a backup, why not stay in place?
It is also logical for him to introduce himself and to train in the team’s facilities. If he bursts another Achilles tendon in the establishment, he obtains his money. If he is injured while working on the local planet, the Falcons could cancel his remaining guarantees and move on.
