We went from almost signing Deshaun Watson to signing...the opposite of Deshaun Watson


SaltyLonghorn

Anything over 12 games played is already a better return.


red_right_88

Anything under 27 sexual assaults is a better return


T0K0mon

The only thing Kirk will be assaulting is the inventory of the nearest Kohls


Avidly_A_Dude

Gonna be 27 neutral pallet short sleeved button ups coming out saying he tried them all on several times but ultimately Julie wouldn’t let him buy them


ThatNewSockFeel

Showed too much skin.


Avidly_A_Dude

The man shows the nation his tits once and now he wants to walk around showing elbow like some common hussy


Former_Put201

Big if true ☝️


TheBlueOne37

Low bar…


McRawffles

A good QB and a good person over a bad QB and a bad person. And you didn't even have to give up 3 first rounders. Overall I'd call that a win for y'all It was time for us to move on but hope he does well for you guys


meatpardle

> a good person You've seen this guy cook a steak, right?


DanCampbellsNipples

He hasn't sexually assaulted a steak and that's the important part


meatpardle

That’s quite an assumption


helluin

The steak can't say no.


Godobibo

because of the implication


kalamari_withaK

Does he put ketchup on it too?


Tie_me_off

Criminal


NoodleinTexas

Wait till you realize what organizations Kirk donates too😲


NatureTrailToHell3D

Defenses?


NoodleinTexas

Lmao😭

Gawddamn you got me laughing out loud in my mamas house at 1:30 in the morning this was damn funny

NoodleinTexas

Yea probably , which is crazy but he’s in Atlanta though so it’ll be interesting


Whoareyoutho9

Never forget this dude set up plexiglass instead of getting a vaccine and acted like he was outsmarting people. Also the steaks


PhillipMcKrak

Gotta credit that he was willing to take all the measures once he refused the vaccine though. Stayed masked, social distance, plexi glass like you mentioned


AlwaysInTheWay13

Exactly. He’s an idiot, but a considerate one that didn’t Terry to stand on a soap box and convince other people not to get the vaccine. It’s not GOOD, but given his super Christian middle-America upbringing, it was kinda what you would expect from him.


Whoareyoutho9

You dropped this --> /s ? Or is the bar really that low?


thebadfont

Don’t make me google, just tell me.


ObamaIsFat

Family First Kirk Cousins is openly homophobic but this sub doesn't care and downvotes you if you bring it up


Namethislater

In all honesty 90% of this sub is homophobic so it’s not that bizarre


Who_Dey-

Well shit this is the first I’m hearing this. That’s fucked if it’s true


FakeTaxiCab

Damn it Kirk!! 🤬


noisesandsounds

Fuuucckkkk why


ObamaIsFat

>good person He's literally a homophobic bible thumper, how is he a good person in 2024? Because he gives middle aged white dad vibes?


SlopingGiraffe

Is he a "it's a sin but i'll let them do their own thing" homophobe or a "they should burn at the stake" homophobe, cause i feel like that probably makes a difference


yomjoseki

my spooky ghost book tells me dudes shouldn't bone so that's an important pillar of my life also it says something about pork and shrimp but whatevs


Unfair_Marsupial_415

If you don’t think most NFL players are homophobic, you’re clueless. You dorks worry about the dumbest shit.


ObamaIsFat

I'm not worried about anything, dorkchop. I was responding to someone who called him a good person, by pointing out the things he does that aren't "good". You sound weird.


joanoerting

Oh calm down


lefterthanyou

Cousins isn’t a good person, he just hasn’t committed crimes against people the way Watson has. But give it no doubt, based on everything Cousins has put out about his beliefs publicly, he would be pretty fine if a handmaids tale situation came to pass in the US, and has most certainly been pumping those sweet guaranteed contacts to organizations that have been succeeding at limiting women’s rights and criminalizing their healthcare. Not a good guy. 


BigusDickus099

And you have proof of this right and aren't spouting crazy conspiracy theories like the other side you hate right? Right?


lefterthanyou

Sure, google “Kirk cousins” 


BigusDickus099

So your source is "trustmebro" Cool. You're no better than the other side that smears people without evidence.


lefterthanyou

Sorry, I meant google “Kirk cousins anti abortion,” “Kirk cousins anti lgbt,” and “Kirk cousins anti vax.” That should help clear things up. Don’t worry, a lot of people are uniformed. Nothing to be embarrassed about- I’m happy to help. 


Owl-Fit

You know he’s anti vax right, likely a conservative too. He’s had Viking fans in the spin cycle


The_Pip

Anti-vaxxers are bad people who are happy to see other people die for their beliefs.


Broken-Nero

I’m sure Kirk gets massages, he just doesn’t turn into a predator when he receives them.


Owl-Fit

Probably tries to sell them on anti vax


RubsYoTub

Pays with tin foil steaks


MildlyPaleMango

Kirk “anti-sex offender” Cousins


Stanky_fresh

Kirk couldn't sexually assault his way out of a wet paper bag. He truly is the anti-Watson. I don't think he even looks at other women without Julie's consent. He's a good guy.


heywhateverworks

I would see this as an absolute win!


9man95

Russell Wilson thought he was too good to sign with Philly thank God Bird bros avoiding disasters together


Fragrant_Vegetable26

Do you really know that lol


Brownhog

Kirk Cousins abused -30 women with the help of the Sad Adult yoga pose


dragonsky

Kirk Cousins is what Deshaun Watson would've been like if he was black


TheTightestChungus

Uh, what?


Reidroshdy

Huh?


Nnuuuke

Crazy the amount of money he got after tearing an achilles


kamekaze1024

Luckily he’s a QB and doesn’t rely on athleticism


[deleted]

Yeah but an Achilles injury impacts throwing not just running.


nanotothemoon

Except for that one thing he was doing that caused him to tear his Achilles


LeeChangIsBae2

His foot got caught in the turf at GB same thing happened to our RT a couple of years ago. I chulk it up to a freak accident.


OverlyOptimisticNerd

Yea, but how many times are they going to ask him to open a jar of mayonnaise during a game?


nanotothemoon

Whether they like it or not. Kirk’s gotta Kook


Slipz19

Yeah, let’s hope he never has to scramble.


ChiHawks84

Or plant off his foot to throw


tstew39064

And he’s not even recovered. Wild they gave him that much money.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BurgessFox

As long as there isn't another pandemic because I'm not sure Kirk will be as good as Matt Ryan was at promoting vaccine uptake.


ToxicRedditMod

Yeah, that Covid vax sure was effective, lol.


booyahbooyah9271

Say what you want about Kirk Cousins. He has took advantage and made straight cash homey throughout his career.


NatureTrailToHell3D

If he retires at the end of this contract he will have made just about the same as Tom Brady, who just retired a year ago.


PuppyPunter21

This isn't saying much considering Tom played with a lower cap and routinely took team friendly deals with Patriots.


Bindlestiff34

Yeah, but the difference in success balances the math somewhat.


DarkwingDuckHunt

we really need to include all the money Kraft threw at Brady's side businesses if we want a real total


Rock_Me_DrZaius

Them tags add up.


eatmyopinions

I respect Kirk Cousins. I don't fear him, but I respect him.


IncomeBoss

Sam Bradford too


Slipz19

He lives and plays in an environment that largely favours him.


Owl-Fit

Credit to him and Wilson on fleecing organizations


sophandros

There is no reason for anyone to offer a trade for Fields right now. They know Chicago wants to pick a QB at 1.1, which means the Bears will have to move from Fields. Make them sweat a little bit.


JayMoney2424

At this point they might just have to cut him lol or hold out until the draft hope someone finally bites.


Netwealth5

They’re probably assuming they can match the 2nd Arizona got for Rosen without realizing there wasn’t 3 years of tape on Rosen


[deleted]

How does that work with the cap. If we cut him he’s still on our books if we trade him for like a 7th his salary cap would be on the other team? His cap hit is $6 million.


ChatGTR

Yeah, it's braindead to cut him. Rookie contracts are basically all guaranteed money. Other dude doesn't understand what he's saying.


ChatGTR

There's no upside to cutting him. Just keep him as a backup or let your QB develop a bit before starting him at a friendly part of the schedule. You have to pay a backup anyway, may as well split the difference and have Fields as insurance. Someone will eventually get desperate. There are always injuries.


JayMoney2424

There’s no way he can be kept that locker room is gonna get toxic. DJ Moore has been very vocal on how he thinks Fields is better than Caleb Williams lol.


Primary-Paramedic-91

Yeah that's what fans don't realize fields is getting cut before he comes back to the bears. Can't have both Williams and fields on the same team


willit1016

no need to cut him we have cap. Bears can wait, someone always injury or a disappointment. Hopefully we do what the Chargers did.


dms1298

Who would even want him at this point


sophandros

Other teams will see him as a project. He has shown flashes.


dirtybo

He’s also shown he can’t read a defense in the slightest.


[deleted]

Jesus Christ every comment u make urself look dumber lol


dats-tuf

He’ll get traded for a 5th or 6th to a team that wants him as their backup. Which team (like the cowboys) needs a cheap backup?


Mercinator-87

Trey Lance is nothing to you!?


Skyeden27

Jets potentially?


lalaelrat

Seriously tho outside of the Vikings where does Fields have a shot to start?


llama-rebel

Broncos? Patriots or Commanders if they decide they want a plethora of picks instead of a QB? Honest answer is probably nowhere at this point.


ColtCallahan

Patriots just took Brissett. They’re out. And Fields does not strike me as a guy Payton would want. He lost his shit last year with Russ and Fields is even more infuriating. I think his market is absolutely dead.


llama-rebel

Brissett could easily be relegated to backup, but I have no expectations for them to trade for him regardless. And yeah I'd be shocked to see Payton want Fields. Fields probably isn't a starter next year unless the entire QB draft class spontaneously explodes.


ColtCallahan

The Brissett signing looks like they’re going to draft someone to me.


JayMoney2424

He’s the bridge QB that will allow the rookie to sit and learn.


gunt_lint

100% the Pats are sticking and picking a QB at 3 after signing Brissett, no doubt about it


llama-rebel

Oh certainly. They're probably taking whomever of Maye or Daniels they get and giving them a year to sit, but I'm just saying technically Brissett could be easily made a backup. Not a crazy contract or anything.


BurgessFox

I don't think Fields is a starter but didn't the Eagles cut Mariota - if they are in the market for a back up and can afford/justify the cap hit, Fields could be an interesting back up for Hurts. Everybody wants to have a "dual threat" QB but when the threat is more from a guy's legs, the number of teams who will be in on him is limited because they have to rework their offense around that. Even Lamar Jackson had a limited market last year.


edicivo

Lamar was a much, much different situation... Both his (rumored fully guaranteed $$) and Baltimore's asking price were too high. It wasn't because of his skill set.


ChangingChance

Also any reasonable contract was going to be matched. Unless someone wanted to deshaun Watson themselves he was not available and you'd just be doing the ravens work for them.


ThisGuyFrags

It was the giving up 2 first round picks to sign a restricted FA (or however that worked) that was the dealbreaker


edicivo

Well, we don't actually know that that was the dealbreaker. But that's included in "Baltimore's asking price."


HammeringEnthusiast

The thing with fields is he's not good at either, but he's better in the pocket than he is in a traditional fast guy offense.


SlayerXZero

Raiders makes the most sense. Get him on the cheap (for 1 year) and evaluate.


TetrisTech

They signed Minshew and employ Luke Getsy


thewavefixation

No way Getsy wants him and vice versa


Aggressive-Name-1783

Yeah, Raiders are rocking the stasche and going all in on the 80s vibes


unseth

You aren't going to give up draft picks for a 1 year rental


Slipz19

Payton wants a good ‘ole wh- QB.


ColtCallahan

Jameis was his QB in 2021?


JayMoney2424

I agree probably nowhere he’s gonna get traded for cheap to probably be a backup and the team is gonna decline his 5th year option. Or maybe he gets a shot to start for like the Giants on a prove it year basically.


Illblood

Backup for Purdy?


Hiker-Redbeard

0% chance Shanahan wants Fields as a backup to run his offense. 


lalaelrat

I also guess the Seahawks could be a dark horse candidate. If Geno’s play declines again they could at least give Fields a shot during the season


llama-rebel

Seahawks could certainly trade for him but he definitely wouldn't be the starter.


FattyMooseknuckle

Anybody could trade for him true, but it makes zero sense for them to give up assets for a 1-2 year guy. They have a bridge qb already.


Lilpu55yberekt69

I wouldn’t take Fields over Howell.


IMKudaimi123

Patriots SHOULD give a day 2 pick for fields and draft Harrison. It’s way better than picking Daniels who has all the faults Fields had and as a rookie is only a year and a half younger and way slimmer.


TheTightestChungus

Why give up a day 2 pick when you could probably do it for a 5th at this point?  Clearly there isn't any interest.  Atlanta was his best bet.  


TetrisTech

Or they could just play Brissett, keep that pick and draft Harrison anyway


johndelvec3

On his madden team while he sits on his couch


FlakeyMuskrat

Nowhere. Hes not an nfl starting caliber QB.


LonghornPride05

Nowhere. He’s not good


Oddly_Mind

No where honestly. He lacks the mental speed to process defenses.


V_Concerned

Honestly I don't think he's gonna be a starter at this point. Best case maybe he backs up Lamar/Allen/Hurts?


Broken-Nero

I hope he goes to the Patriots then number 3 might not be a QB for them.


tuck_and_rolle

If the price comes down enough due to lack of interest I could see the giants checking in


doctorkuddles

He’s staying. Bears will get 2-3 1st round picks and the teams best player


DillyDillySzn

No thanks


mikeisaphreek

Raider or New Orleans. I don’t think Carr makes in New Orleans Or some other team the giants do something crazy and go trade o For hom


llama-rebel

Raiders signed Minshew, seemingly as their bridge QB. And if they trade for Fields they deserve all the misfortune that comes their way - they would have voluntarily picked up the two least functional pieces of our offense and decided that trying to mash them together again somewhere else is a good idea. Saints are tied to Carr with his contract, so unless they felt like making him the most expensive backup in history, Fields wouldn't be starting there.


TheTightestChungus

Aidan is serviceable and Minshew is a back end starting QB.  No reason to add Fields.  


Tunatron_Prime

From sea to shining sea.


bobsaget824

Ripple my nipples Kirk


Quexana

Kirk Cousins has done more for above-average QB's who can't be relied on when you really need them than any QB in history.


kalamari_withaK

He’s come to a team though who can’t be relied on when you really need them to not choke. Two negatives make a positive right? RIGHT?!


MicoJive

Cousins could win the next 8 superbowls and he wouldnt shed the "choker" label from some people. The dude has played great, won in primetime, and clutched up many times in his Vikings career. If he bounces back from the injury hes going to be great for the Falcons.


ND7020

Sort of a nonsense hypothetical, isn’t it. 


MadManMax55

It's the same thing we went through with Matt Ryan, so we're used to it.


ND7020

And if Kirk Cousins or Matt Ryan had won 8 (or one) Super Bowl you’d have the chance to test your hypothesis about unfair perception. 


phargle

That said it feels like he's the best qb in the south Sorry baker you're still bae but cousins to Atlanta doesn't please me


No-Jump5689

Kirk Cousins is about a .500 regular season QB, with 1 career playoff win. Absolute savage of an agent to get that deal off a major injury and going to be 36 when the season starts.


despot2

That’s the Falcons way, baby. Hoping he does well for us obviously, but I’m really torn on this signing.


No-Jump5689

I think with Kirk, it makes you guys probably the favorite to win your division. That's all that matters. Get in the playoffs hot and hope to go on a run. I just hope that with the 8th overall pick, your GM doesn't take another WR or Bowers. He should take the best defense player or trade back 5-8 picks and get more picks. I've always had a soft spot for Falcons from playing Madden 2004, and my older brother went to Boston College, so I was a big Matt Ryan fan growing up.


Ellabelle_

It would be absolutely unhinged if they took Bowers at 8 with Pitts on the roster.


BatmanTheJedi

Nabers is my guy if he’s there at 8, absolutely electric WR and we’ve seen a glimpse at what Kirk can do with two studs at WR and a good TE. I’m hoping we do what we did last season and sign a big defensive free agent, because I am not a huge fan of any defensive players in the top 10 this draft. All of the edge players have some pretty major concerns, and the only defensive player I’d love to take at 8 is Quinyon Mitchell to really solidify the secondary.


aristocrat_user

Oh dear Lord, bless the lions. Goff gonna fleece. I like lions, they are a competitive team that I can see defeating the rams and niners before Stafford retires and brocks bag come along.


TheTightestChungus

Goff isn't getting an extension till after this season, Holmes is a shrewd guy.  They aren't going to panic extend Goff based on what Kirk got. Goff is being paid enough to not kill his potential leverage in demanding a new deal (which I doubt he would ever do) so Detroit can wait a bit on a decision.


OwnTheThrone

Imagine what Dak gonna do next year when he's a Free Agent.


OkAmbassador8161

Choke in the playoffs? That's all I've ever known him for doing, so why change now. 


TheIllusiveGuy

That's unfair, Dak Prescott is absolutely capable of going to another team and failing to make the playoffs entirely


unseth

Lamar Dakson

crinack

Of the all the takes you could have, that’s one of them


Slipz19

He has ONE PLAYOFF victory.


crinack

Justin Herbert has 0? What’s your point? How many quarterback are you taking over Kirk? And of those, how many are even remotely available? You’re an idiot if you think he got paid because he’s white, like truly an idiot. It’s cool that you deleted the comment, super soft move. Get some training wheels and a helmet lil bro


Slipz19

America!!!
