Well I would think they knew their draft board before they signed Cousins.Because Cousins wouldn't have signed with them if he knew they would do this.I'm a huge Penix fan, but this is fine for Cousins.
He plays well he starts all season and probably next. Once 2025 ends, it's over and Penix takes the reigns (if not earlier).
It's a weird pick, absolutely, but I actually kinda like it. Allows Penix to recover from any ailments he may have, helps him learn and no rush/pressure.
Now, why they didnt tell Cousins, no idea
He isn't happy about it. He doesn't want a younger QB looking over his shoulder casting any doubt about Cousins being the starter. He cares about this more than money.
he signed a while ago... why didnt they tell him before the draft? they knew they were tkaing penix, obviously.
I agree it seems like they should have told Cousins this was at least a possibility they do something like take Penix after they signed Cousins and before drafting him. That would still make Cousins unhappy, but would cushion the blow somewhat.
Based on Cousins reaction to the pick through his agent (intentionally putting the information out) he didn't.
