Pulling for Bane to recreate the scene from The Dark Knight Rises

2023 they can cut him and save over $20.5M. Though idk if they're going to be confident with rolling out a QB drafted at #18

People are really riling themselves up over a 26yr old deciding to look out for his long term health instead of putting his career and future earnings at risk? It's not like the guy was checking out for Call of Duty double exp weekend. His injury was probably worse than what was diagnosed and/or there's been complications during the recovery. There's plenty of history with NFL teams and doctors not being as upfront about the severity of a player's injury. Good for Lamar. I hope that wherever he ends up, it's somewhere that will appreciate him as the person he is rather than treating him like an expendable commodity that most players are viewed as.

Because his current deal allows him to be cut in order to save the Lions $20.65M in cap space (it was a big reason why when DET was picking in the top 5 that QBs were being mocked to them). Though now that they're picking 18th, they're less likely to do it but crazier poo has happened.

QB carousel is going to be active again this offseason it looks Tom Brady Derek Carr Baker Mayfield Sam Darnold Jimmy Garoppolo Jacoby Brissett Geno Smith Carson Wentz Lamar Jackson? Jared Goff? Matt Ryan?

To add, in May 2020 the NFL also made it so that teams were not allowed to block assistants from interviewing for coordinator positions. So if Wilks does end up being retained, he can also retain Holcomb as the team will be in compliance with NFL rules as they'll have interviewed external candidates. Likely a mixture of staying in compliance as well as doing due diligence.

Hopefully because we won't keep McAdoo, but if whomever the HC is retains him then no other candidates are required to be interviewed. One recent change that I especially like is that teams cannot block

According to some posters here, Daniel Jones being drafted in the 1st instantly makes him better than the rest of those QBs listed

This makes sense when you consider that Al Holcomb was the interim DC and that the Rooney Rule was updated in 2021 to require at least one external minority candidate be interviewed for a coordinator job. Source: NFL Operations

Whichever one leads us to a Super Bowl victory.

Hopefully this means that Fitt isn't going to overpay just to gamble. If one of the guys they don't expect to be available falls, they'll still take him I think. Glad to hear that they're going to make sure they get a quality player rather than just targeting a position.

Worries me greatly that Wilks' answer to the offensive side of the ball is going to be either Cameron Turner (who followed him out to ARI) or Pep Hamilton (who many fans have said has had the benefit of working with top QBs rather than molding them).

He must be protected at all costs.

Hopefully he's available at 32

6'7" 255!?!? His poor momma's grocery bill

Speak of the devil

Surprised that Kirby isn't going for it here since it's early and his team is looking dominant.

Huge break on that penalty only for a fumble. Oof. My guy Duggan is in for a long night tonight. Going to be a good opportunity to see how he handles being under constant duress. Glad to see Bowers getting it in early too for Georgia. Was wondering wtf happened during the OSU game to make him such a nonfactor then.

Karma for the Cardinals

Said they wanted to build the defense first, questioned whether or not they wanted to put a young QB behind a less talented OL. They need a guy that they draft and develop to be there over a long period of time whether that's Matt, Sam, or someone else.

Corbett tore his ACL and Christensen fractured his ankle. Corral got the screws taken out of his foot.

Complimented Campen along with the OL. Had a good talk with Bozeman about his future. They want him back they say, he wants to be back. "He's a part of our future." WE GOT A CENTER Y'ALL

They really like the RB rotation that they "have now."

Fitt says have to figure out head coach first before we figure out the QB room. Still excited about Corral's future.

Interesting hearing that there won't be a bunch of candidates. Sounds like they expect to make the hire quick, communicating that they're focused on respecting the process tho.
