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.

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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
