Forgive me for saying this, but the Falcons 2024 Quarterback move is GENIUS!

Are they winning the Super Bowl?

If not, they spent a ton of $ they could’ve otherwise used on building a foundation around Penix in coming years.

Not sure I’d call that genius but IDK.
Not entirely correct. Kirk got $90 million at signing.
$50 million bonus, plus his 2025/2025 cap hit upfront.
That money is already paid out to Kirk. It’s not spilling over to 2026. So they will have money to spend.
They have a really good group of young players already around Penix, who is on a rookie contract.
This is not a case where they have a depleted roster. They already have talent that can ascend into their primes.
