Summary

The Atlanta Falcons kicked off their OTAs this week and it was a bit of a surprise that Michael Penix was healthy enough to be ready to compete with Tua Tagovialoa from day one. This makes the Falcons quarterback battle more interesting, but more complicated and it may hurt the team. The Cleveland Browns have Deshaun Watson back healthy, but Shedeur Sanders is wanting his opportunity. It sounds like Watson is the early favorite, but that doesn't make much sense. Finally, the Las Vegas Raiders sound like a team committed to Kirk Cousins, but that is misplaced and Fernando Mendoza should be getting the action right away.
