What? You’re joking right?

People are so butthurt about TB this is just dumb.

No, his two year contract is not the worst FA signing of the last decade. Good lord.

Teddy is the worst free agent signing in franchise history

[KillaCamNewton]

He’s only a bad signing because of what they were signing him to be

if we had a great defense and great OLine and CMC wasnt hurt Teddy would simply just have to manage the game and he would look alot better

the problem is all 3 of those things didnt happen and Teddy is forced to play like a true franchise QB, which he isnt capable of doing.

im not sure if it was Tepper, Hurney, Rhule or Brady who thought this would work but thats whose fault it is

Any contract you can get out of after 2 years with minimal dead cap is probably going to have a hard time making a worst contract list. It's not the end of the world to overpay someone if you can cut bait quickly and get out of it without longer term ramifications. We're paying a below average starting qb a below average starting qb salary. You can argue we should have spent that money elsewhere but $20 million is below market rate for your starting qb. He actually has the lowest cap hit of any starting qb in the NFL that's not on their rookie contract. We're basically paying him what the Colts are paying Jacoby Brissett.

Matt Kalil's contract was head and shoulders worse. He received elite LT money for replacement level (or worse) play with no easy out. Even after 2 years we still had nearly $15 million in dead cap left, and this is 2017 contract dollars when the cap was like $30 million lower. Even after 3 years, we would have had nearly $10 million in dead cap. That's the type of contract where if the player doesn't live up to it (which is more often than not the case for free agent contracts), you're screwed continuing to overpay them or you bite the bullet and take a big dead cap hit whatever year you decide to cut bait. Same issue we're having with Short.

We've avoiding paying big free agent contracts for most of the past several years so there aren't a lot of candidates. But Kalil's takes the cake. Bridgewater's doesn't look good but when the market for starters wasn't great and you've decided Cam isn't in the long-term plans and you refuse to roll the dice with another year of Will Grier and Kyle Allen, I guess this is what you get. If he turns into the stop gap most people expect while we get a 2021 rookie ready, most people will look back at the contract and shrug their shoulders and say "I guess I get it."

If we're talking about solely Panthers signings, it's top 5 for sure. Giving a bum with zero talent like Bridgewater even half of what he's guaranteed to get from the Panthers is an unforgivable offense.
