Kirk Cousins reportedly says he wants out of Atlanta

St. Geezy said

Think it’s more about playing time than financials for him. Whether it was deserved or not, you’d have to imagine that a competitor like him believes he kind of got a bit of a raw deal there.

He never would have signed there if he knew a first round QB was a possibility; that was a completely odd and peculiar move that no one saw coming.

True, but I think it was a wise move for Morris going into his second stint of being an HC. Similar to the discussions about the benefit of Moore rolling with Carr, a vet gives you stability as you try to win in your first year. The main criticism of Kirk before the injury was that he was a solid regular-season guy but struggled in the playoffs. Taking Penix was a move for the future, but when Kirk started struggling, they had to pull the trigger.
I like the idea of taking a guy you like high, even if you have a vet starter. We'll see how this turns out.
Too many GMs are afraid to put the teams' interest ahead of one player:)
