To what extent do you believe the termination of Terry Fontenot helped create the cooperation from Cousins' camp necessary for this restructuring? Could Cousins have made this situation much more painful for Atlanta in light of Fontenot's actions on Draft night if they retained him? Thanks!

Honestly I think Chris Olsen (football administration) would likely the author of this in coordination with Mike McCarthey (Counsin's agent). Fontenot may have provided some guidance prior to his departure. Sure Cousin's could have made this more difficult but his agent is one of the best and worked with the team to find a path forward. From their side (Cousins) they know they will see the free agent market and make plans instead of waiting on the team.
