This is why good, not even great QBs make over 50 mil a season. So many of them bust once they get in the NFL

Healing vibes your way! Get better soon!

Dude. Stop. These were suggestions, not actual transactions.

If we are sending picks out I would really rather it not be for Evero selections, his track record is pretty much garbage. Still its just a 7th so whatever.

Wishing you a speedy recovery friend.

Trust me, we don't want any part of signing him. He is never where he is supposed to be in a play and cannot control his emotions. Think 4 out of 5 plays, he messes up, then over celebrates when he actually makes a play, no in between.

The real point made in the Barnwell piece….is how fans over value AT. It doesn’t exist elsewhere. The 4th only exists because it’s the Vikings. It’s like the Burns for 2 1sts deal. It’s just a random window that you won’t find again. No team is offering a 4th for AT but the Vikings and we are making the easy hard. 4th is a good deal

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Mr. Scot

Probably great grandson, he was in his 30s during the Korean War

I had a stent put in about a year ago in the artery that I'm told medical people call "the Widowmaker". Had something like an 80 to 90% blockage. It's possible this could be a related issue.

Kyle Trask sucks. He was a good college QB because he was very accurate in the short to mid-range but he had no arm and was a total pocket statue. Then when he got to the NFL it was quickly shown that he just wasn't smart enough to grasp and NFL playbook.

I suppose He could be his grandson?

Best wishes, had my triple bypass last year.

Didn't we have a poster on here that was a massive Kyle Trask fan?;

See above...

Anyone on here with knowledge of insurance policies for players this old? I know for young players it's common, wouldn't imagine it's as easy to get anything worthwhile towards the end of a career. $14M bump this year, which is really "only" a $9M bump when you factor the DE franchise tag is $21M. But even at $30M for this year, he's F'd if he gets seriously hurt this season. He would've been better off not playing this year, signing with someone next year for what would've easily been $60 to $80 million guaranteed over 2 or 3 years. He would lose the $16M this year and his guaranteed net would still be $30-$50 million more across the life of the new contract. Hope he stays healthy.

So the Panthers turned down a 4th and his proposal is the Panthers accept even less plus eat some of his salary? Rigghhhtttt.

Just for clarity, this is not news. It's a trade proposal suggestion from Bill Barneell.

Per Bill Barnwell Broncos part ways with a CB on the roster bubble Broncos get: 2026 seventh-round pick Panthers get: CB Damarri Mathis The Broncos have a rare problem among NFL teams: too many cornerbacks. ESPN's Jeff Legwold projects they could move on from Mathis, who was very good as a rookie in 2022 before losing his starting job after the defense's slow start in 2023. He played just 27 defensive snaps after Week 6 that season and 80 more across 10 games in 2024. With the Broncos using their 2025 first-round pick on cornerback Jahdae Barron, they could justify moving on from Mathis, who might not be active on game days even if he sticks around. Mathis' best season came with defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero in Denver, and he hasn't been able to reach those same heights since Evero left for Carolina. The Panthers are set with Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson and nickel corner Chau Smith-Wade as their three starting corners, but Mathis could push the 28-year-old Jackson and serve as Carolina's primary reserve on the outside. Mathis is owed $3.4 million in 2025, so Denver might essentially buy a draft pick by eating some of that cash, similar to what the Commanders did when they sent running back Brian Robinson Jr. to the 49ers.

They can get fuged for a 6th and 7th. Doesn't make sense for us for anything less than a 4th and them paying a majority of his salary.

Kyle Trask compared to Anthony Richardson at Florida

Per Bill Barnwell Vikings bring back a familiar face Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen Panthers get: 2026 sixth-round pick, 2027 seventh-round pick A reunion between Thielen and his former team seems too easy. The Vikings are struggling with injuries at wide receiver and a potential Jordan Addison suspension. The Panthers want to see what they have with their younger wideouts, and Hunter Renfrow's emergence in camp as a potential fourth or fifth option could squeeze a roster spot for Thielen, who doesn't play special teams. The problem is Thielen's $6.25 million base salary. The Vikings obviously would prefer the Panthers cut the 34-year-old and pick him up for free, but Carolina already paid Thielen a $1.5 million roster bonus earlier in the offseason, suggesting it expected to have him. His salary isn't yet guaranteed, but it will become so if he's on the roster in Week 1, leaving the Panthers until then to make a decision. If he does get released, he isn't likely to get anything close to $6.25 million from another team, so he also is facing some uncertainty. All sides involved probably would need to give a bit to make a mutually advantageous deal work. The Panthers would eat $1.5 million of Thielen's contract, getting two of the three picks the Vikings got from the Jets in the Harrison Phillips trade in return. Thielen would take a $1 million pay cut in return for having the remaining $3.8 million guaranteed. The Vikings cleared out almost exactly that much when they made the Phillips trade, allowing them to absorb what's left of Thielen's contract as part of the deal. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46053274/nfl-preseason-trades-2025-team-offers-players-draft-picks-contracts

From JoeBucsFan. Teams don't usually waste 2nd round picks like that. Kind of sounds like they think he just doesn't belong in the NFL.
