Who is going to tell @Zod that Wentz can be cut next offseason with zero dead cap in the years to follow?

I think the point here is that they gave up 2nd and 3rd round picks for a QB who looks washed. You're not giving up 2nd and 3rd round picks to rent a guy for a season. Giving up that kind of premium capital the least they could've done was forced Washington to eat some of the contract.

They gave up 2 3rds and swapped 2nd. They essentially traded a 3rd and a 4th pick for Wentz (since the 3rd is next year). Thats not really premium price to pay. This is a low risk move for them, because they can wipe their hands free after this season if it doesnt work out. 

and how am I supposed to get that point from "Commies took Wentz's entire contract"

It's a premium price for a QB who is washed.

From what I read, I'll have to find the link again, the 3rd round pick next year is a conditional one where if Wentz plays more than 70% of Washington's snaps the Colts get a 2nd round pick instead.

 

Commanders get: Carson Wentz, QB; 2022 second-round pick.

Colts get: 2022 third-round pick, 2022 second-round pick, 2023 conditional third-round pick (converts to a second-round pick if Wentz plays 70 percent of snaps).

Yeah, it's way better than the Darnold trade.

True now but his current salary for this year eats up all their available cap space. They'll be doing a simple restructure to kick some down the road.

The Darnold deal is pretty disturbing because it shows clearly what Fitt had in mind at the time. He really thought that the 5th year option would be a huge financial bargain for the Panthers after Sam DESTROYED the league in the 2021 season. He thought we'd be counting our blessings right now for have Sam tied to such a cheap 18.9 million dollar deal. In other words Fitt is a moron. No one outside of the Panthers brass thought Sam would be good. No other team even bothered with an offer. Spooky stupid.

Sadly, Rivera and Hurney have been better at finding and developing quarterbacks than our current regime is proving to be.

Talk about only having to hop over a very low bar. 

Heinicke > Darnold and in what world would you have thought that to be the case three years ago?

Honestly, I was like, "yeah, this could be a really smart deal if it plays out." Man, did it ever NOT play out.

Epic fail and I was wrong back then. Of course, me being wrong doesn't cripple a franchise, so...

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
