Raheem Morris Backs Kirk Cousins; No Controversy With Michael Penix Jr
Posted: Sun Apr 28, 2024 5:14 am
Kirk Cousins\' position as the Atlanta Falcons starting quarterback of the foreseeable future has not changed after the team\'s stunning first-round NFL draft decision, according to new coach Raheem Morris.
The Falcons selected quarterback Michael Penix Jr. of Washington with the No. 8 pick Thursday night. The choice sent shockwaves across the NFL since Atlanta had just signed Cousins as a free agent last month to a four-year contract worth up to $180 million, with $100 million of that guaranteed.
At the Falcons\' post-draft media availability Saturday, Morris halted any quarterback controversy.
