What fa qb is worth a 3 year deal???? Gonna draft him a rookie to get an extra year. 😂🤣😂

You have heard of optional and voidable years, correct?  We sign a FA QB for this season (year 1).  Draft a QB next year and if the rookie isn't game ready some or all of the season we have the fall back veteran (year 2).  If the the rookie rookie is ready to go in his second year we can either cut or demote FA QB to backup (optional year 3). 

I guess you are content to just keep giving PJ Walker one-year contracts.

I'm pretty sure they drafting a qb, most likely Pickett...hopefully not him though and having Sam as the backup this season. Next season is a completely new ballgame depending on how this year goes.

If they get Armstead, I will be really really optimistic. You literally fixed the 0-line in one off season. Get a QB now and...shoooooot. 

Armstead made about 13 million this year. It will probably take 15 to 20 million a year to sign him. Too much when he missed some games. We are much better off to draft a tackle.

He wasn't released. He's a FA and they want him back but are cap constrained.

Released or not, he's either too rich for their blood right now or there's a knock on him that we don't know about. Both are possibilities, both are things we don't need during a rebuild.

He is a FA but due to the Saints restructuring him last year to make cap room they have a $13 million dollar dead cap hit even if he leaves.

And there's the rub... even getting hit with that dead cap money still on the table... they let him go. I'm not saying there's a hidden injury or just the slow downs that come with age, but New Orleans has been masterful at gaming the cap system for years. There may be a reason they didn't do some of their cap voodoo in this case.

Or he could be physically fine, just financially expensive. 

Me, I just think the money could be better spent elsewhere.

The $13 million is on the books even if they decided to resign him. You can't restructure dead money. I think its as simple as they wouldn't want $33 million tied to one single player. He does have an injury history though so buyer beware.

If we had a 2nd round pick then we'd get a T in the 1st and a QB in the second unfortunately we do not have that option. The team is literally a QB and LT away from at least being competitive. Armstead is the best T out there right now regardless of how much he played. If they can get a performance based contract or have verbiage that will mitigate a future injury, then you could get a top tackle and then just get a QB. 

 

The options are limited, I know it's because of their own doing but they are doing a great job at trying to fix things in one off season. 

 

 

Also, seems like the Bears are out of the running.

    • Just chasing targets is a fools game. Chase averaged 85 yrds and .76 TDs per game his first year and 87.16 yrds, and .75 TD's per game his second year. Statistically the same. NOT an improvement. Puka saw no increase either. Yes, Waddle's went down because he had to share targets with another receiver - just like TMac will have to share targets with Coker next year so you have actually just made my point concerning Coker. Olave saw an increase in targets but Carr replaced Dalton and even with the increase in targets, his production was pretty flat (83 extra yards and 1 more TD for the entire year). And Wilson's number did increase but the Jets replaced the other two receivers and their contribution was significantly down from Davis's and Moore's. Again, nothing in those numbers should lead anyone to believe there will be a big leap for Tmac next year.       
    • See my previous post. You're also leaving out that T-Mac was likely hitting a rookie wall, like 95% of rookies do late in their first season, combined with the added attention on him by defenses, which in turn would be why Bryce looked Coker's way down the stretch.  With Coker playing like that to start next year, defenses will have to pay attention to it, which will then also make things easier for T-Mac. All of which is also ignoring that T-Mac will just be a better player next year than he was this year, assuming he works on his game this offseason, which we all know he will be.  If a player who was already your clear cut #1 comes back even better his next season, you're going to make sure you're throwing it his way more often, no matter who else you have. Again, Coker's added targets won't be at the expense of T-Mac's, they will BOTH be taking targets from the rest of the team.  Not to mention, we should be passing it more next year to begin with, seeing as we'll have both of them hopefully ready to go full speed Week 1, which again, will help both their target totals increase. Coker looks like a really good player, but even the most optimistic person can't say he looks like he has #1 potential, he has very solid to maybe even high end #2 potential.  You're not taking targets away from the reigning OROY who looks like a true Top 15 WR already to get your #2 targets, you increase both of them by taking from the others.
