It wouldn't be a risk for the other team, they'd just be buying a draft pick from us. 

This ^^^ think about when Osweiler had that crazy contract from HOU I think, then was traded to CLE who later released him. 

I'm fuzzy on the full details, but that is the premise being explained here.

  Osweiler had a 16M guaranteed base salary for that year to whatever team traded for him. Much like Darnold. And that took a 2nd. What would this cost? A 2nd and a 3rd that they don’t even have anyhow. 

Fitt and Rhule should be forced to offer their houses as collateral and maybe they will take things into consideration more....

Who the hell is going to trade for him, and then pay him 18 million dollars next season?!?!  Bill O'Brien isnt a GM anywhere anymore unfortunately...

Are you guys even reading what op is saying? He isn't talking about trading darnold and getting ANYTHING in return, he is talking about paying another team a 4th thru 6th round pick to buy Darnold's contract and they will probably release him same day. Happens all the time in other sports.

So in total a 2nd and a 4th to sign him, add a 4th or 5th to get rid of him haha. What a disaster. So this coming draft we'd have no QB, no O-line and picks in rounds 1,4/5,6,7. Screwed for at least another year either way

So you think an NFL team will blow 18.5M of cap space for a 4th round pick? We are well aware of what is meant. The Osweiler trade is brought up every time one of these contracts becomes an anchor. This is not some new concept.

After the cap goes up Darnolds 5th year is going to be CHEAP. He’s also at the very least a capable backup. His first three games were mid-level starter quality. He was playing well. QBs like him are desirable for good teams who want a steady backup. 
 

There are also QB injuries that will happen as well. Don’t underestimate the ego of an NFL coach who thinks he’s the right one for a player. Plus…Darnold has a ton going against him right now. CMC is out, OL is a sieve, WRs have brick hands. There is some OC Out there who will convince his GM it’s worth the pic to have him on the team.

 

Got to get a capable starter first though

There's going to be quite a few teams next year with plenty of cap space with no shot at winning that might do that for a year. Washington, Miami, Denver. 

I'd guess the price would probably be sending a 3rd at that cap hit though.

Why would it be a 3rd at 18.5M when the best example is a 2nd for 16M? And Cleveland announced their “tank” before the draft so we’re in a position not to care, and went 0-16. Plenty of teams have no shot every year and this deal is as rare as it seems. Wasting cap space is as bad as tossing away draft picks. Especially ones being used to cover up a horrible decision

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
