I think the renegotiation is to keep him at a reasonable rate if he can't find another team  That sets the price. I wonder if new Orleans is interested now that Teddy knows our whole system. Not sure we should be ushering him out so quickly. We could use a cheap vet to mentor these guys. Just not 22 million for a timid starter.

While Teddy might end up being cut this June, I believe there is a good case for keeping him 1 more year as a backup.  Then trade/cut him after the 2021 season.  What would be the cap hit for 2022 if Teddy were cut next year, 5 mil?

That would be my fall back position. Because unless you can trade him and only be on the hook for signing bonuses and guaranteed money, you end up eating a ton of dead cap if you cut him.

Ultimately I think Teddy will be cut and designated as a post June 1st cut. He would be a $15 million dead cap this year but we would save almost $8 million in cap.

Maybe, but in the NFL you are always one injury away from needing a QB...

Why would another team give Teddy a chance to start when the Panthers, who were a bad team last season, are saying he wasn't good enough for them?

Because every team differs in scheme. What wasn't good for the goose could be great for the gander...

Teddy should just refuse and milk the team for all the money he can get. He’s never getting a contract the big ever again 

[Ivan The Awesome]

Sounds familiar...didn't this happen sometime last year with another QB?

[pantherj]

Yeah I think Teddy will end up with the Saints again after we cut him. When Teddy is on a loaded team with brilliant coaches he can come off the bench and really do well. I think he'll wrap up his career as a top quality backup.

Speaking up backup quality QBs, Darnold should be facing the same situation soon enough as well.

Yeah, apparently we are a big payday for every future journeyman backup QB now.

What's happening is that Rhule has supreme confidence in his OC and his system. I think he thinks that his system can make a journeyman into a SB winner. That didn't work with Teddy, but I think the reasoning inside the organization was that Teddy was going rogue and doing his own thing at times (passes nowhere near the first down marker, holding the ball out at the goal line, ect).

The new narrative is that Darnold will listen and do as he's told, and then our amazing offensive system will turn him into Joe Montana.

I think it's the opposite. Bridgewater was too conservative with the ball - he wasn't taking the shots that were there.

That was clearly frustrating Brady and Rhule. It's also not what the system is about - you have to take those shot plays when they present themselves.

He clearly didn't run the system properly.
