Kirk Cousins said he felt "a little bit misled" by the Falcons after they took QB Michael Penix in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
Cousins made the remarks on the first episode of this season's "Quarterback" on Netflix. The Falcons signed Cousins -- coming off an Achilles tear and entering his age-36 season -- to a contract worth more than $100 million just weeks before using the eighth overall pick in the 2024 draft on Penix. Cousins said he would have likely stayed with the Vikings if he had known the Falcons would use major draft capital on a quarterback. "Certainly, if I had the information around free agency, it certainly would've affected my decision," Cousins said. "I had no reason to leave Minnesota with how much we loved it there if both teams are going to be drafting a quarterback high. But I've also learned in 12 years in this league that you're not entitled to anything. It's all about being able to earn your spot and prove yourself."
