Falcons were surprise Giants competition for Nathan Rourke after NFL draft drama
NY Post
There apparently isn’t a quarterback the Falcons aren’t interested in adding to their roster.
Despite already having $180 million man Kirk Cousins and No. 8 pick Michael Penix Jr. under contract, the Falcons placed a wavier claim on on quarterback Nathan Rourke, according to ESPN.
Rourke, a former Canadian Football League star who was released by the Patriots this week, instead landed with the Giants.
There’s certainly nothing wrong with the Falcons attempting to fortify the quarterback position, but Atlanta is certainly taking it to an extreme this year.
And there’s already the drama surrounding its current quarterback room.
After realizing the duo of Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke is not winning you anything, the Falcons decided to revamp the position this offseason.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
