So then, what are we netting for Teddy and where’s he headed to?

I think we net nothing because we’ll cut him and who cares where he’ll go because he won’t be our problem any more. 

My instinct but a mid to late rounder would be a nice thing. Thing is, teams now definitely know we don’t want TB so they’ll just wait until we inevitably cut him.

I’m going to go with a 3rd & 6th to maybe DEN, NYJ or SF (the latter after Garrapolo goes elsewhere & to backup their new rookie. That makes the $ stomach-able for them)

Predictions in here.

You’re out of your damn mind if you think Teddy gets anything close to that. We’d be lucky to get a 5th. Nobody wants teddy checkdown and his contract.

Yeah it’s settled in a bit more he’s just getting cut and we’re eating it. But looking at the $ post J1, it’s eatable so new QB is here. For whatever that is with Darnold.

Yeah, I think best thing we can do is save as much money as possible at this point. I’m hopeful for Darnold.

When Carolina trades down in the draft picking up a 2nd rounder and not having to trade multiple picks to move up for an unknown, the Darnold trade will have been for peanuts.  a younger experienced QB with 2 years left on his rookie contract.  This was a fantastic trade.

Can they even trade him? Who are the potential suitors anyway? I'd be surprised if we move him tbh

Denver is the only one, going faaar out but teams with decent cap and "need" are - Colts, Beaguals, Lions, chargers. They need a vet backup, just his contract must be dealt with. ie big pay cut and other magic like no bonuses etc. 

Again Panthers somewhat played themselves, much like last season with Cam.....They signed teddy with Cam on the roster.....now we traded for Sam with Teddy on the roster....his loooowwwww value just got lower. Honestly rework his contract and release feels like the best solution. Hurts but give Teddy his 8-10 million and cut him looking like the out come.

Just read an article about takes on the trade. A lot of experts apparently think we're keeping Teddy. They don't think we can trade him, and that it doesn't make sense to cut him.

I was actually a little surprised they were so down on Carolina in this trade. They think we got fleeced a bit, which I disagree with even if I don't think it was a great trade.

    • Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

    • 2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
