Who do you suggest?

Draft pick, someone of the caliber of Mitch T. who is a FA who maybe didn’t play to potential because of coaching and the org, then a third qb who is raw but has good traits that could possibly be coached up. Teddy is who he is, the org poo all over him this offseason. We need a new group going forward.

1.  He's under contract.

2.  He's not a pussy. 

The NFL is a big-boy league and Teddy is a mature adult who understands ups and downs of the business.

I was talking about the team. Teddy really has little choice in the matter.

Unless a trade occurs, Teddy will be here next season.  It makes little sense to cut him outright and it will give a rookie QB some time to learn the NFL.  Signing another mid-tier FA QB to compete with Teddy is about pointless.

We save 8 million by cutting him then 21 million the season after as others have said. I’d bring in another cheap vet to mentor/start over keeping teddy. Just depends on price. Would not give up draft picks at all. So it does make sense if it works out. If we can’t go that route then keep him.

I totally agree with this and would be on board.

Teddy will most definitely not be here next year we will bring someone else in if we decide to go high draft pick qb. Teddy is finished here have u seen what we’ve done to him?

Yep.  I imagine that's our last resort and could see a cut if/when no one wants Teddy via trade.

Have to look at that difference in dead cap relative to the cap relief as usable gains, which as you mention, is roughly $8 mil. 

So, yep, take what we get from cutting Teddy for a much more appropriate backup/bridge QB situation and with probably $5 mil more to spend.  I don't think we need to fork out any huge contract for another vet QB, looking at backups around the league, it's a 3-5 mil type situation.  Sure, we are eating ~$10 mil towards no one, but I view that as money well spent to just keep Teddy away.

That dead money would just be part of another lost season of Bridgwater..so if we can use the usable gains for more than just replacing him with another meandering vet, then it's an easy decision IMO. 

That's a few mil towards Moton, or a FA at LB or CB.

      Peeking at the roster in 2026

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
