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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
