As I understand it nothing about his salary next year was guaranteed. It was essentially a 2 year deal.

Yeah, you're right. I can't keep up. We essentially got three mil and moved up 35 spots. I'll take it!

Both Detroit and Carolina make sense with this. 

Even more so Detroit.  I get the local South Carolina connection.

 

but we already signed 1 vet CB on a Short year deal.  Throwing in Gilmore would be nice but would be a win now type move for us.

Detroit has Okudah who was hyped last year and struggled.  Having Gilmore come in with him makes the most sense

He already was off the books if we wanted

I found this from one of my previous posts. Looks like if we cut him, we were on the hook for $20M, although making it post June 1 would have spread it out $15 this year and $5M next year. Teddy still gets his $20M, but now it's $17M from us (all in 2021) and $3M from Denver, plus we get #191. That's a win IMO.

Getting Gilmore suddenly makes our defense nasty.  Then let him walk next year and cash in that 3rd round comp pick.

With 15, you could still probably get Darrisaw, Slater, or Vera-Tucker.  Then grab a slot WR in the second, Grant in the 3rd, Davis Mills and a G in the 4th, and RB in the 5th.  I might even try to convert some of this year's 6ths to 2022 5ths.

If Darnold is decent, I think this puts us in the playoffs.

Please no. He's almost 31 and in the last year of his deal. And, if the Patriots get rid of you you're almost done.

If he's decent, he'll help us and then net a good comp pick next year.  There is going to be a ton of money out there next year and he will get paid by someone.  It's like getting a CB1 for a year plus an extra 3rd.

Hmm so we save an extra $3 million and get a 6th round pick? Pretty solid. Better to get some value before the draft in case we draft Fields and the whole world knows we're not keeping Teddy and lose all trade leverage. That being said, it feels like Denver got a good deal. Get Teddy for $3 million by giving up a 6th round pick that's more likely than not to be out of the league in 3 years? Sure Teddy for $20 million is a tough pill to swallow but at $3 million he's a great bargain. Seems like one of those win win situations.

I was expecting better than a 6th though. I'm thinking where we go with our 1st pick depends on whether a QB we like falls to us. One way or the other we still need to protect our QB.

According to Michael Silver, it was originally going to be a seventh.

The Broncos bumped it up to a sixth to convince the Panthers to pay part of his salary.

I get the feeling this thread will be as popular as the one announcing they fired Marty Hurney.

Wonder which of those two transactions folks feel is the bigger relief.

Hurney, there is no question.  Teddy 'checkdown' could only frustrate the fans and deliver mediocre win/loss results.  Hurney's incompetence almost wrecked a franchise.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
