How much is to much for Micheal Floyd?

If they are actually shopping him or willing to get rid of him for a mid rounder, this is actually a very solid idea, and maybe even a possibility. Would be a best case scenario to replace KB, in my opinion. Not that he'd be as good as him or a "solid #1" but he would at least be a proven playmaker for us and would be better than anyone we have now. I wouldn't give up any more than a 3rd though, and I'm not sure that'd do it for them.

Michael Floyd's salary this year is $1.75 million with a cap hit of $3.1 million.

Next year his salary and cap hit blow up to $7.32 million.  For a guy who has averaged 800 yards a season and has caught 13 total TD passes in 3 years.

So... no.

If I  understand it right, they'd have to eat the bonus money on his contract.  He wouldn't be owed any guaranteed money from us.

Still, I would have to think they'd want more than we'd want to give up for him.  He's still pretty cheap this season and then they could just cut him next year.

It's his fifth-year rookie option, all-base and fully guaranteed, the new team would be responsible for the whole thing. Arizona seems to already be having buyer's remorse for exercising the option.

    • I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

    • We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
