It would be our pick that would be given. Probably a 2nd or 3rd for someone to take that contract.

We don't need someone to take the contract. We can afford to eat it, if it meant getting a decent draft pick in return.

I'll be shocked if we get anything for Sam but I'd love to be wrong about that.

Same.

I have to agree with the others that are saying it would be good for Darnold's career, though.

My question would be whether or not Rhule wants to trade him.

My lingering suspicion since the Baker trade was the "QB competition" was purely to inflate Sam's value. That the splitting reps, and rotating him in with the ones, and the general act that Sam could potentially be a starting QB was to advertise him. So when a starter inevitably goes down with an injury before the season starts, it's 1-800-CALL-FITT.

I also don't expect we'd get much, but if we could get a 6th, and get a portion of his salary off-loaded, it's a huge win for the Panthers.

Frankly, we should all be praying from Sam to ball out during training camp and the preseason.

It's really not a farfetched idea. If they'd give the Panthers a 4th or 5th, take a chunk of the salary off the books, it's a win win for both teams. Same kinda deal the Panthers did for Baker. Darnold might really have success on the Rams sitting behind Stafford and learning from McVay for a few seasons.

That actually could possibly work better than normal maybe perhaps????

If Darnold has any chance whatsoever of turning the corner and becoming a decent to good quarterback, it's probably going to have to be with somebody like McVay or Andy Reid.

Nobody we've got is on the level of those guys.

It just seems dumb. It's not like there isn't a poo ton of film of Darnold sucking at QB in the NFL out there. He's not some unknown variable.

Rams don't have a lot of cap space, but could eat 5m of the 20m owed Sam.

They are in win now mode.  Every game could be the difference in a wild card spot vs. home field.  Gotta believe Darnold is far more likely to come off the bench and win a game or two than some dude named Woolford.

Rams also have a lot of late round picks and a number of likely comp picks.  Take a 6th and $5m for Sam and call it a day.

While I agree, there is film of Sam sucking, there is also film of Sam doing well.  While he has not proven he can be a consistent winner over a full season, he has had flashes of pretty good QB play.  I think he'll have a fairly long career as a back-up/spot starter starting this year.

Bottom line - he is not worthless.  We just need to extract what we can and move along.

      Panthers give Ashawn Robinson permission to seek trade

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      Damn I liked A'Shawn too. This is basically a heads up we're planning on cutting you move.  Robinson wasn't the best but I loved his attitude and effort on the field. He held that entire dline together when Brown went down iirc..granted we finished that season as the worst rushing defense in modern NFL history.  If Wharton would have performed up to atleast half of his salary last season, I'd feel a little better about it. We do need that cap space though.

      13. Carolina is coming. The Panthers are well thought of around the league. Their "process" seems sound. I think their off-season will be very interesting to keep an eye on. They made the playoffs, but they're not yet knocking on the door. (Offense was 26th in EPA/play.) I think it's imperative they don't overestimate where they are in their build. They can't throw a ton of money around in FA to "make a run now". They need to be intentional about building a solid foundation. (IMO) And from what I know about the team... I think they will be. Sidenote: I have my eye on offense there, not defense. They HAVE to leave next season with a strong opinion on Bryce Young. They need to put pieces around him to do that. Can't be left wondering what he would have looked like with "better OL play" or "more pass catchers". They have to know. (That part is purely my opinion. No one told me that.) https://x.com/lindsay_rhodes/status/2027212533417869499?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

      Because this DL is completely reliant on Brown being available and being a stud. Without him we were the worst D in history. The Wharton signing last year reeked of desperation. He just isn't a great fit for us schematically and I think we panicked a little bit when we missed out on Milton Williams who would have been a great fit.
