Sounds like Teddy will be Traded


Recommended Posts

I know the other thread was just locked but I was just watching Fitterer on Twitter and someone specifically asked if Teddy would be traded and he said that he had already spoken to Teddy and that they would look for the best place for him whether that was with us or somewhere else and he kind of stuttered when he first said it like he didn't really mean to say that so I think he's going to be traded.

I believe they will have to add a pick with Teddy to move him. Example Teddy and a 4th for 7th. His contract has 10 million in guarantees, some of which the panthers have already paid. No one wants that contract, its got bonuses for games active too.

Teddy is a first class guy and would be a great mentor to help Sam learn the offense, but that contract makes moving him a must. 

It seemed like the relationship between Teddy and the staff took a nose dive after he blamed the play call coming in late for him missing a wide open DJ in the endzone. Actually, I think he specifically said he would've checked to a run play. That seemed to be the point of no return for Teddy in Carolina.

Finding someone to take on Teddy's contract is likely going to cost the Panthers bodies or picks.  Might be better off keeping him around 1 more year and then cutting him after the season ends.  That should set the team up for success in 2022. 

Don't see Carolina making a serious run in 2021 anyway.

I agree with this.  Just bite the bullet and move on next offseason.  These folks hoping to "recoup" the 2nd from the Darnold trade by moving Teddy are delusional.  He doesn't have the same unfulfilled potential of a Darnold or the proven track record of a Stafford.  The market may not require us to give up picks to unload his contract, but at most we're getting a late round pick for him. He's more valuable as a backup who knows the system in the event the Darnold trade blows up in our faces.

A team will trade for Teddy.  We won't get much, but we will not be sending a pick with him.  He has value, just not to us.

A pre-June 1st trade leaves us with 15 mill in dead cap over the next 2 years with almost 34 million in cap space gained, and post-June 1st trade leaves us with 10 million dead cap and almost 39 million cap space saved.   All figures over the next 2 years.

Since most teams are cash strapped this year, and we are not, the bargaining chip is how much of the cap we eat in the trade.  We can say we'll make it pre-June 1st, eat more cap space (which again, we have) and get a pick in a higher round.

As Verge has said, Teddy will not be on the Panthers for competition next year.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
