Yes it was stupid but ultimately won’t really matter at all. We’ve got a ton of cap space and won’t be able to find a QB before then anyways and won’t be competitive so that wasted cap space really doesn’t matter that much.

Ever since cap spaced can be rolled over, ALL wasted cap space matters, because it's always money that could have been better spent at some point in time.

wrong

Cap space rolls over.  All of this money that we wasted on Sam and Teddy could have been used to help whatever QB we find in the future.  Maybe one day we draaft a QB, that $50m would help improve an O-line alot.

meh…what hurts more is a we gave up a 2nd and 4th…both appearing to be a high pick due to the trade itself…oh the irony

 

That hurts bad for a team that needs all the picks they can get to rebuild this o-line. We'd probably just draft more defensive players anyway

wrong, only a certain amount can be rolled over after a certain amount is spent by the team itself and after a certain amount is spent by all NFL teams in general, and only in a certain timeframe

then again you could be right but I have no idea if all the criteria was met

Without even seeing him throw a pass in a Panthers uni. Terrible decisions like this is the reason we will never be a consistent winner. Stop plucking players from franchises that have been sh*t for decades lol We are literally the Jets South

Who. Cares? 
 

You guys are way too focused on “cap space” with the Darnold contract. Focus on how much talent the team has for the amount of cap space available. Even with Darnold on the roster and a terrible deal we are in the top half of the league in cap space for 2022 and top 10 in 2023.

I’m not saying it doesn’t matter. But you know who’s at the bottom of the league and deals their draft picks and hands out deals like the league will end tomorrow? The Rams. The Cowboys. The Packers. The Bills. Want to know what they move assets for? To win now. 

Find a QB at all costs. Trade picks. Sign over the cap. Who cares. Win now. That’s what this league is…

You are talking about a very specific scenario that really doesn't apply here..  What we spent on Teddy would have rolled over to this year. 

Even if you reach a point where its not rolling over you extend a core player early and use that cap space to basically pre pay a lot of his contract.

      2025 QB Draft Class

      By Martin · Posted

      Ward could fly up the rankings with a good year.

      What do you grade this draft?

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Ask me in five years whether this draft class was good or not. Having said that, I'll grade the 2019 draft... R1 P16: Brian Burns - I'll argue this was a good pick. At the minimum, he was worth enough to have gotten a seriously good offer of picks which, in retrospect, we should've taken. But we still got something for him and his new team gave him a ton of money. R2 P37: Greg Little - Utter and complete flop. Only real value was somehow getting a 7th rounder from the Dolphins. R3 R100: Will Grier  - Played godawful the rare times he was on the field. Somehow still in the league. R4 P115: Christian Miller - Nothing of note. R5 P154: Jordan Scarlett - I don't think he even lasted two years. R6 P212: Dennis Daley - Some flashes of promise but we eventually traded him for some picks. Was terrible in Tennessee. I'll consider this a success since we got picks back. R7 P237: Terry Godwin - Did not last here long at all.  In summary, we got one quality starter... who is now gone. Daley might've been the second best player of this class and he was a middling backup at best. Burns saved this class from being a complete disaster.  D+

      You can add that to the assessment of the whole offseason, but not the draft itself
