The Falcons may just be in some trouble regarding Cousins (Merged) (1 Viewer)

Who cares, there was mutual interest and he wanted to go there and they wanted him there.

It will be a lost of all picks this year for us. Because we are in the same division, we should have known what was going on and stopped it.

I told yall, they already Falconed it up.

A big flashing sign was when a week prior it was known that Cousins was shopping for a house in the Atlanta area.

That's a long commute to work anywhere else.

I say two 1sts, two 2nds, Cousins and Pitts suspended for 8 games, and Raheem Morris suspended for the season is fair punishment.

We can’t be having our game disrespected like this.

Not surprised. They are not an organization to be proud of.

They must protect the shield. Clearly conduct detrimental to the league.

I would agree. But it's the Falcons so they should have the book thrown at them.

Seriously, other teams including the Dolphins have lost draft picks for doing things like this. If the NFL is going to enforce the rules, they need to be enforced evenly against all teams.

They’ll pay some insignificant price just so they could say that they paid something

The Falcons should at least forfeit a third round pick. The fact that it's such a huge contract for a starting QB should bump that to a second round pick.

"...there’s reason to believe the team directly communicated with Cousins during the 52-hour negotiating window. That’s clearly prohibited, as the Chiefs learned eight years ago when they lost a third-round pick for speaking directly to receiver Jeremy Maclin during the legal tampering period."

If Jeremy Maclin was worth a third round slap on the wrist, Kirk Cousins is worth a second rounder.

Its the Falcons, not the Saints so they will probably lose a 7th round pick.

If the saints did this, we would lose 1st / 2nd round pick, suspend HC for a year, forfeit SB in the dome

All that AND Payton would get suspended in Denver, just because lol.

Next to nothing will come of this.
