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.
RALEIGH, N.C. — Igor Shesterkin and the Rangers have experienced it from all sides the past three springs. They have overcome a 3-1 series deficit by winning an overtime Game 7 at home. They have overcome a 3-2 deficit to win a Game 7 on the road. They have lost a 2-0 series lead in dropping four straight. They have lost another 2-0 lead before losing in seven. And they have swept.
