I can't imagine why.

Why the jets didnt want him or why Denver may want him? Panthers may have offered to most of the guaranteed, and that still didnt work for the Jets. Teddy was a jet for a TC, he may have leftd a bad impression on some important people still there.

Middle of the road. People say our line was the main reason Teddy sucked. Our line may of been not the most reliable but they weren’t the worst. 
18th is way higher then I though they’d be at the beginning of the 2020 season.

Anyone thinking Teddy will be our backup right now are probably Teddy burner accounts. He will be gone

When?

Replaced by D. Watson?

Who fed him this crap? Sure anyone will take him for our 8! He's worth about a 6 pack of Covid after how this team tossed him under A French Double Decker Bus! Not that he is worth much more but we sure as hell didnt do ourselves any favors.

FWIW, I think we might be a team that drafts a Kellen Mond/Davis Mills level QB prospect.

To be clear, you are suggesting that Darnold, Teddy and Mond/Mills (all three) could be on the final roster?  

Wow.  Wouldn’t that be equivalent to asking current wife, angry ex-wife and au pair/girlfriend/future wife to share a hotel room with the kids, while on vacation at Disney World?

Beautiful. Cant we just trade them in for one decent sack.

No. Teddy isn't going to be on the final roster.

I think we should be it. A team that drafts Mond/Mills might want a player like Teddy to be a placeholder until they are ready.

Personally, on day three of the draft, there are 2 QBs that might be worth drafting and developing for 2 years behind Darnold (assuming they are there, and that is unclear):

Kyle Trask

Jamie Newman

Both have skills and both were damaged by circumstances.  Trask had an inconsistent supporting cast (except one TE) and during the bowl, they opted out.  His performance looked like the first day of spring practice.  Newman just needs coaching--but he was once projected as a first round hopeful this year--was supposed to go to Ga from WF and make that name for himself.  A lot of technical issues, but he has flashed.

I honestly think the QB room as a whole may look entirely different. Darnold will probably be #1 unless fields falls into our lap at 8. We could draft a developmental QB later like Mills, Mond or Trask (I'd prefer Mills). Bridgewater is on his way out (trade or cut-hopefully traded). Grier and PJ both will be released also unless placed on the Practice Squad (probably PJ). Tommy Stevens will be cut also unless he sticks as a TE on the Practice Squad.

[Moonstone]

If we don't trade Teddy for reasonable draft pick(s) before the season starts, I see no reason to not keep him on the team for the upcoming season. Someone's starting QB may get injured and with that comes potential of trading Teddy to (possibly) QB needy team (may squeeze better compensation in that situation than now).

Do we stand to gain anything financially by cutting him ?

No I don't think so. We just remove a possible distraction and open up the roster spot. He may be valuable later I agree.

I really like Newman’s potential. He was a let down at the Senior Bowl, the rust was bad due to not playing last year. In the right situation, with the right staff he could become a solid QB IMO. Wouldn’t be upset if we took him in round 4 or later. The good news is Rhule got a close look at him during the Senior Bowl, so he should have a good evaluation of him. I’m just not sure Trask has the arm to be anything more than a backup. He has a similar skill set as Teddy.

[Michael G]

We would gain a couple of Million in cap room but incur a huge dead cap hit depending on when we cut him.
