I think him being off the team is a good thing but the timing, just getting a 6th and the cap it is messed up.  Why not wait until the draft, why not wait to see if a qb went down.  Seems like we jumped on the first offer and we didnt save poo

I think you are vastly underestimating the situation. This is absolutely a scenario that you jump on the first offer (not even saying this was it). We save 5mil+ this season and get a 6th round pick. How is that a bad deal? Majority of us here would have been happy if we traded him for nothing in return

A 6th is poo especially since they are not taking all of it on.  Again, why not wait if this was the best deal and we are still going to have to pay for him?  Saving 5 million isnt poo this year.  Its not the difference between playoff or not.  And now we still need a backup.  I just dont understand the timing if this is the deal

If you look at it like we traded Teddy, a 2nd, a 4th, and $7M for Darnold and $6M in cap - a 23 year old former #3 pick that many say have a potentially very high ceiling - it does not seem like a bad trade. 

Valid.

Honestly though, I just look at it as a bad quarterback being gone and us getting something back for him is borderline miraculous.

We dont need the cap space this year.

1. it'll roll into next year's cap.

2. We're still going to be shopping FA's that get cut. A lot of teams can't sign their draft pick right now.

3. We have several players that we need to be working out long term deals with. That starts in earnest next week.

No guarantee that the same deal would be available after the draft.

Boils down to this...

1. Keep Teddy.  Cap hit is 23m in 2021 and plus 5m dead in 2022 assuming he's cut after the season.

2. Cut Teddy Now.  Cap hit is 20m.  No pain in 2022.  Save 3m.

3. Trade Teddy.  Cap hit is 17m .  No pain in 2022.  Save 6m and get a early 6th.

You take option 3 all day long.

If we do in fact take a QB at 8 his value goes to like zero.  Everyone would know at that point he is being released.  

Decent move as we basically traded Teddy, a 2nd and 4th for Darnold.

Signing him was horrible from the very beginning. I think literally everyone on here can agree with that. I see a lot of folks pooing this move, but given the situation we walked in to, I think it was probably the best we could have done. 
 

I, for one, couldn’t be happier he’s gone, and am very excited to see what Darnold or Fields can do with our young stud coaches.

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
