00:00A quarterback that was at mandatory minicamp yesterday,
00:03the most expensive backup maybe we have ever seen in NFL history.
00:08That is Kirk Cousins in Atlanta.
00:10Of course, the starter, Michael Penix Jr.
00:13Cousins remains on the roster as that reserve signal caller.
00:17Here was Kirk Cousins meeting with the media yesterday and what he had to say.
00:21Quote, we're moving forward and it's about how we as a team and as a quarterback
00:27room can be the best we can be in 2025.
00:31That's the right thing to say.
00:32And that's what Kirk Cousins did yesterday.
00:35Yeah, he wants to start.
00:37And also, is there one quarterback in the league that you actually got demoted?
00:40You're making a big salary.
00:42Instead of saying, I'm not showing up, like, you know what?
00:44I'm just going to make the best of it here.
00:45And I'm good friends with Michael Penix.
00:47I like the environment that I'm in.
00:49I'll just come to work and work hard every day and not be a distraction.
00:52Because quite frankly, if he really was a bad guy,
00:56it's not the right word, but a competitive guy,
00:59he would drive the needle home.
01:00And every time he took that microphone and be like,
01:02I'm expected to be a starter.
01:03I'll beat this kid out here by the time we see week number one.
01:06He'll be off that football team in less than 24 hours.
01:09But he is playing the good soldier at this point.
01:11And also, the Atlanta Falcons still trying to hold on to him.
01:13We told you we liked him as a backup.
01:15We don't care about the money situation.
01:16All along, picking up the phone all day long,
01:19trying to get him moved to a different team.
01:21Hey, can somebody take Kirk Cousins, take him off our hands,
01:23take him off the salary structure, limit the damage when we do trade,
01:26end if we're cut him at this point.
01:27But good on him for being the good soldier.
01:29Because quite frankly, he shouldn't even be in that building right now
01:33as even a building block that's saying,
01:35you know what?
01:35If I'm Penix, like, hey, who's behind me back there?
01:38I just threw an interception.
01:39Looks like Kirk's coming in the game.
01:41You can't have that here.
01:42He should be going sooner than later,
01:43but he's playing the good soldier right now.
01:44And I guess good for him.
