Would be very surprised if Teddy Bridgewater is not in Denver by draft weekend. Continue to hear buzz about it and I know the Broncos are quite interested. It fits Fangio's model perfectly and the new GM was a part of the Vikings brass that drafted Teddy B

Hopefully we a pick for him.  Realistically a 5th or 6th.  A 7th is a slap in  the face, but I guess it's better than nothing.

Denver may be trying to wait to pull the trigger on any trade to after the Draft. They could also be waiting- like perhaps a few others for Carolina to cut him. It is obvious he's not wanted back so why would anyone offer up anything for him under his current deal, when they could sign him for near League Min. (Especially with the Panthers still paying out his guaranteed money).

...one of the biggest criteria to me is his willingness to butt out and let the football people he hired do their jobs.

Based on Person's story about the Darnold process, it sounds like he's doing that.

So these "football people"...

...what does the org chart look like?

If they are wise they will hold out until one of these teams offers up something. In no way should he be cut. Too many teams could use him, mainly because of the QB demand this offseason. 

The demand has largely been for starters but not highly paid backup QB's.

There is a reason we had no success attempting to trade him, nor has he had success trying to get traded.

I can understand the delusional homerism, after all we all display it from time to time. It is part of being a fan.

But, we are historically one of the NFL's worst franchises. No amount of head in sand is going to change that. Eventually we have to start actually consistently winning to change that narrative. 

Just to put things into perspective, The Lions have won 1 playoff game since 1958, before 2 years ago the Bills had not been in the playoffs this century.  Are we the best run franchise, no.  Are we the worst, far from it.

I would take a 4th for Teddy and have the trade partner to throw in a player to help make the contract look better .  We eat part of Teddy's contract , but they eat some the player's contract we take .  With this we get a player of need such as CB . DT, or G .  This would provide more depth .

This is not how the salary cap works.  You can't just "eat" a player's salary.  This isn't the MLB.

No team wants Teddy with that awful contract no matter how many homer Panthers fans around here tell themselves it isn't that bad. We swooped in and outbid ourselves with a deal Bridgewater couldn't sign fast enough. Very shades of 2010. He will be cut and we will eat a chunk of salary cap we could have used beefing up the offensive line.

We're not going to cut Teddy. The cap hit is huge. Either he reworks his contract so he can be traded or he's kept. At least we'll have a good back up for this season. 

They'll rework the contract that Teddy gets his $10 mil guaranteed and a chance to play somewhere else in a trade. Should happen before the draft but I can see right after if a team misses out on a QB picking him up.

If they hold onto him and a team has a preseason injury, I can a trade happening then as well.

I think you have a decent chance of being wrong about him being cut.

I think he gets cut too, BUT look at this -   https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/carolina-panthers/

 

Look below the dead cap and saving column. Change it to post june trade....

You see the difference in dead space is 20 and 5 million? Of course panthers will have to eat some salary, but thats why they want to trade him.

Cap saving if cut= 3 million.

Cap saving if traded 18 million.  

(number would change some for a new contract)

Thats why I mention to @SizzleBuzz things could get messy, cause we're talking about huge differences in a tight year. Still think he gets cut, but you see why they want to trade him. May have to add a draft pick like 4th+Teddy for Denvers' 7th to get the dead/saving benefits. Post June for sure.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
