Falcons GM Terry Fontenot says he’s perfectly comfortable with Kirk Cousins being a $100-million backup QB in ‘25

Another thing the coach has to consider though is how the players will respond if the best qb is not on the field. Think about being a WR going in to a contract year and your coach is not putting in the best QB. That wouldn’t sit right with a lot of the players unless it was clear Rattler was the better QB.

Sure. But in the case of the Saints, the reports are that the players all love Rattler and think he has a lot of potential. And players can think long term too and they play with rookie and young QBs that are being developed all the time.
