even better! 

Well, only if the Eagles view it that way.

And in any case, the contract is so large, that I honestly have no interest in trading for him even if it's for peanuts.  If we could get him for a 3rd round pick and Teddy, I still wouldn't want to.  

His cap hits for the next four years: $35MM, $31MM, $36MM, and $32MM.  And with the way the contract is structured, the dead money if you were to cut him (I'll exclude this year, because if we trade for him, we'd be auditioning him): $24MM, $15MM, and $6MM.  That means if he bombs this year, and you cut him in the 2022 offseason, you're on the hook for $24MM in dead cap (post June 1 cut would be hits of $9MM and $15MM in consecutive years).  Cutting him the following year is still fairly unpalatable at $15MM.

I don't want that sort of financial risk when our roster is on the upswing.

Can we just start naming anyone that was once a good QB as an option to overspend on? Marino is alive somewhere I think. Payton could unretire, we all know they will give him another ring. I personally would like to see Montana with one of those suits from Edge of Tomorrow if we are just making things up. 

If the Eagles are not sending big picks this should be dead already.

Alright you've convinced me.

Brad Johnson wasn’t that bad. Hometown discount!?

Convince local Phillip Rivers to come out of retirement for one final season, while mentoring a young guy like Wilson, Lance, or Fields

I am at the point that if we get Lance we are fine. It just looks like we would give away the 8th for anyone on the block.

      Strength of Schedule

      By chknwing · Posted

      I'm looking at the schedule and I see a 10+win season easy.  I think Carolina goes undefeated in the division.  I also believe that the Bears, Bengals, Lions, Browns, Steelers are very winnable.  Revenge game with phillips and the eagles could be a win.  Honestly only 2 games I see as chalking up a L to off the bat is the Seahawks and Broncos.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?
