But we didnt get anything for him and we are taking a hard hit.  Just let him be a back up or hold him until another teams starter goes down

This would be true if his base salary was zero or very low. It's $17M. You'd be paying him $17M in new money that is $17M in cap space you'll never get back by keeping him on the roster this year.

Hell, I would've given up a 6th just to have him gone.

And I got banned for pointing out this clown didn't have it last season.

It was so bad last season that a lot of the members on this forum were twisting 20 yard throws (the equivalent of a bowling lane) as deep balls, and giving Teddy every excuse as to why he couldn't finish a drive.

Yeah that doesnt make sense for a 6th.  Seems like we should have just kept him

We created a scenario where Teddy simply couldn't be on the roster IMO.   Panthers pretty much tossed him under the bus.  After that, they couldn't keep him around.

@SizzleBuzz and all you other gurus saying Teddy isn’t gone. I told y’all before draft LMFAO!

Given his prognostication record, Sizzlebuzz predicting something's going to happen is about as close as you can get to a guarantee that it won't.

I am now really not understanding this pick.  We also shot ourselves in the foot in regards to the draft.  Why not wait and see if Denver would flip picks if someone fell.  Something is off here

Ouch.

Reminds me of the Moneyball scene.

We're paying Bridgewater $7 million to play against us.

I've watched that movie several times last year just because it was playing.

I honestly really hope he does well in Denver. Great guy. Just couldn't cut it on the field for us here. Still rooting for him to succeed, even coming back from his injury in the first place was awesome.

I hope he absolutely bombs in Denver.

fug that franchise.

6 million in cap, 6th round pick > Bridgewater

By renegotiating the final two years of Bridgewater's deal, the Panthers will save $6 million in 2021 and $26 million in 2022, a source told ESPN's David Newton.

Tom Pelissero indicated that agreement on draft pick compensation was the easy part of the trade.

Working out how they were going to split the salary was what took time.

Thats an expensive lesson that I hope Tepper and RHule learned from.  Should have just kept quiet and kept him as a back up.  Darnold does get hurt a lot

Not to mention he's basically off our hands next year.  $26 mil off the books 2022.  A Post-J1 cut would have still hit us 5 mil. 

The only better case scenario would've been a higher draft pick (or never signing him in the first place lol)

I'd rather watch PJ Walker lose a game than Teddy.
