Where Denver and Minnesota let pricey veteran quarterbacks go in March, the Falcons paid a king’s ransom to bring one in—lavishing a four-year, $180 million deal ($100 million guaranteed) on Kirk Cousins

We’re all products of our own history, and Fontenot’s included an 18-year run in the Saints’ personnel department. Toward the end of that time, in 2017, he witnessed New Orleans getting a quarterback swiped from right underneath its feet. Picking 11th that year, Payton and GM Mickey Loomis had a huge grade on Texas Tech’s Patrick Mahomes. They tried to keep it quiet, and they thought they’d succeeded, but they hadn’t done quite enough.
See there is the big difference. Brees wasn't on a 4 year deal where he was guaranteed 100 million at the time either.
Let's say Cousins plays real well do the Falcons pick up Pennix on the 5th year option? They may as well burn more money and stick to their guns.
Let's say Cousins sucks arse or gets hurt and Pennix has to come in sooner than expected. Even if Pennix comes in and plays well, the Falcons have lit 100 million dollars on fire.

If cousins had a 2 year deal this pick would be fine. Maybe even great. But it’s a 4 year deal with 3 being essentially guaranteed.

I hated the pick of Penix (and still think it's dumb) but one scenario that nobody's really floated is the Patriots model of sticking with a 38 year old Cousins who's still playing great and trading Penix for draft picks down the road.
It hasn't been done in a while, but it is still an option for Atlanta to recoup the pick and more later on if Cousins looks great and plans to keep rolling.
