For a much different reason than last year, the Atlanta Falcons have had an interesting quarterback room this offseason.
Kirk Cousins' future is very much in limbo as he looks for a new opportunity to start. This will take an unforseen injury to a contending team, and who knows when that will happen.
When they do trade him, they need another backup quarterback in the wings, in case Penix Jr. goes down with an injury.
They signed veteran backup Easton Stick hoping he would force himself onto the final 53-man roster, but a tough preseason has led to his release, further proving a Cousins trade isn't close to happening.
