Teddy B to the Broncos for a 6th!

[KatsAzz]

Little did Teddy know he was waving goodbye for the last time to Carolina Panther Fans when he left the field Sunday January 3 2021, following the 33-7 season ending loss to the New Orleans Saints.

The Panthers cleared the way for new quarterback Sam Darnold to work without any kind of cloud over his head or doubt about his status, trading incumbent starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to the Broncos for a 2021 sixth-round pick.

That's...interesting wording.

Unreal. I can't believe we got anything for him. Absolutely amazing result for us.

Denver seems to be OK with the move.  I didn't seem too much excitement but they believe he will be good for Lock.

Wait, we are eating 17 million in dead cap instead of 10 for a 6th round pick. Umm, I'm glad he is gone but that's a bit dumb.

It's not just about this season though.

He's now completely off the books for next season.

This guy gets it. They get a SOLID backup (never should have been a starter) for $3M and a 6th. That's a win for them. It's less than 1/2 what he got from NO, and he saved their ass when Brees went down 2 years ago.

He had to go somewhere though, glad he's not a panther anymore.

No wonder he never called him.

There's no dead money in '22. There's very significant cap savings.

There was no money owed in 2022.  This trade doesn't change anything

I was waiting for this announcement more than the draft.

Late but,

We really aren’t. $10M of the $17M in dead cap was from the signing bonus. The signing bonus was $15M paid in 2020 when he signed and was spread to hit the cap $5M each year. No way to get rid of that $10M.

We save $8M in non-guaranteed salary in 2021, $3M of the $10M guaranteed salary in 2021 and save all $21M of non-guaranteed salary in 2022.

It was an awful signing when we should have ridden Grier to a great pick to get our future QB without trading away draft capital. Teddy also cost us Bradberry’s 3rd round comp we could have used for more OL depth on Friday and he also cost us $31M of cap for 4-11. Plus had we decided not to go for it with him, cutting Short and trading Turner for picks only might have occurred. So yes, it was a poo ass signing. 

Thanks for the clarification. I agree with you completely about the signing. We never should have let Bradberry walk either. So much stupidity.

Ayy called it. Bye Teddy!
