Cousins, Cincinnati\u2019s Joe Burrow and Detroit\u2019s Jared Goff will star in the show. In the first season of the series, Cousins, then with the Vikings, was a breakout hit of the show, which also included Kansas City\u2019s Patrick Mahomes and former Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota. Cousins was returning from a torn Achilles tendon and had the Falcons off to a 6-3 start.<\/p>\n
Cousins was injured against the Saints, but on \u201cQuarterback\u201d he admitted didn\u2019t want to rest his arm and give Penix a chance to start. His play went downhill as the interceptions started to mount.<\/p>\n
He was benched with three games to play. Penix went 1-2 and was declared the new starter.<\/p>\n
There were not viable trade partners for Cousins, and the Falcons declared him their backup quarterback and picked up his $10 million bonus in March.<\/p>\n
Cousins reportedly attended a portion of the offseason program and did attend the mandatory minicamp.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, you\u2019d love to play, but I\u2019m not going to dwell on things that aren\u2019t reality,\u201d Cousins said after practice June 10. \u201cThat\u2019s not the situation I\u2019m in, so it\u2019s (energy) better spent to be focused on the situation I\u2019m in and controlling what you can control. And I think that\u2019s the right mindset to have.\u201d<\/p>\n
The show contends to offer an unfiltered look at the on-field action and off-field reality of life as an NFL quarterback. Each quarterback was mic\u2019d up during every game and one practice per week. There are in-home and behind-the-scenes weekly routines.<\/p>\n
The Falcons were eager to sign Cousins to a three-year deal worth up to $180 million, with $100 million guaranteed.<\/p>\n
After he signed, Cousins revealed a timeline that clearly suggested the team tampered in his signing. The NFL investigated, and the Falcons were found to have tampered in the signing of Cousins, wide receiver Darnell Mooney and tight end Charlie Woerner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ATLANTA \u2014 Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins was more upset with the team\u2019s front office than he let on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":191853,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2074],"tags":[223,254,2554,224,7,294,18665,6,9145],"class_list":{"0":"post-191852","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-atlanta-falcons","8":"tag-atlanta","9":"tag-atlanta-falcons","10":"tag-atlantafalcons","11":"tag-falcons","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-kirk-cousins","14":"tag-michael-penix","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-zac-robinson"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114819682285287482","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/191853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
