I'd be livid. $6M cap hit and a 3rd rounder for a guy on a 1 year deal we could've just signed in free agency. And while I would like Teddy as a solid backup for the right price, he couldn't lead us to a Super Bowl so if Cam went down there's no difference between Teddy and Heineken...

Wouldve loved it, IF we could lock him up for a couple more seasons (he's on a 1 year deal)

 

We have 2 3rds this upcoming draft due to Norwell.

We come out with one of the better backups in this league and still have a normal set of picks

Yeah, I agree. would not have been good value for us.

I'd be super pissed. That would eat up every bit of our available cap space for a player we'd be desperately hoping never stepped on the field... not to mention giving up a 3rd round draft pick... not to mention not having him signed beyond this season. It would've been a terrible move for us. It's not a great move for the Saints considering they could've just signed him off the street a few months ago, but at least they can evaluate him and determine if he can be place holder for once Brees retires.

Not to mention they now have very few picks in the top 100 next years draft.

I'd be livid as well especially since no one is taking into consideration they traded their first round also lol. They only gave a second round pick if I remember correctly that's ridiculous for TB. But let's be clear he's no dam Taylor Henk he's had 65% completion seasons starting in the NFL. Taylor would look like David Carr/Jimmy Clausen out on that field don't be confused  about what it takes to perform in the league.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Wanting that type of play and being okay with paying $55 million a season for it are two entirely different things. If Bryce were to become the same player Purdy has been, then he would surpass my expectations of him and I'd be okay with him as our QB of the future (and again, I've long been one of the bigger anti Bryce people here who doesn't think he is capable of being our long term solution). But in no world would I be okay with paying him THAT kind of money, paying an average starter elite money is just a terrible decision.

      I don't think they can overcome that mistake. Hell Lance was a hiccup compared to this. He isn't going to be able to carry that price tag and now he is going to have to do just that. Lol. The NFL is so dumb sometimes.

      So, one could say that T-Mac is quicker than someone of his size should be and while he might not be quite as fast as Evans in the 40, he's more athletic than Evans. If only someone, anyone, could have seen that in his tape and mentioned that on here, hmmmmmmm In all seriousness, hearing he tested in the 89th percentile in that drill at his size is crazy impressive.  Just tried to look up the times of the top WRs in the league right now, most don't show at time for that, but I did see Chase ran his in 7 seconds flat. I honestly don't know how true this is, but I do remember seeing one breakdown of his tape and the person said he has quiet and efficient feet.  That he's really good at using the minimal steps possible to make his cuts and because of that, it actually makes him look slower to the human eye because you don't see all the quick chop steps that the guys like Tyreek would use in their running. I'm still in a state of disbelief that he's a Panther and it might not fully hit me until week 1 and I see him out there making plays for us, still feels like Goodell is going to just be like, "YOU GOT PUNKED!!!  hahaha, he's a Cowboy now, suck it"
