Be that as it may, he’s still the best QB we’ve had since Cam’s shoulder died. 
 

edit: to clarify, I’d be fine with bringing him back cheap to be a bridge/backup to whomever we draft in the first this year, not as a long term plan. 

Which isn’t saying much at all. He still is a terrible QB. 
You don’t want him to be your starter because he will cause you to lose games.

Which Darnold will always be. He has, maybe 3 to 4 “ good” games in him and then he falls off a cliff. 
He isn’t a QB you want starting all season. . 

That’s why I said play him until the new kid is ready. I don’t think he should be the answer for the whole season. But I’d rather start with him and have a rookie waiting than trade for Carr.

I’d rather have Brissett if we have to go the bridge route. 
I have see enough of Darnold to know we can’t trust him long enough to have the team in the right spot for the rookie to take over. 
Likely what will happen is we force the rookie into action too early because Darnold’s expiration date arrived. 

Darnold, like every backup, HAS an expiration date.

The only shot we have at playoffs is because we play in the worst division in the NFL. I think we need to sign a bridge qb, pick AR at #9 (or Stroud but he won't fall that much), and then fill holes with the other picks. We need to quit trading picks for some player we think is going to get us over the top. We aren't anywhere near the top.  By the time Corral or AR is ready to play, we will have a solid team built around them and then we can shoot for the stars. Could be as early as '24 but it's not happening in '23. Our ceiling in '23 is a first round drubbing.

If we don't end up with one of those top 4 QB's im going to be disappointed because that likely means we are going the vet QB route again which means another 1st round draft pick in the 10-15 range next year.

 

We just delaying our franchise QB chase every year. It has to stop with this draft. Go get our QB!


It ultimately isn’t up to us though. Teams have to want to trade with us and/or teams ahead of us have to not take all the QBs.

Any chance we can get Winston for super cheap? I'd take a chance on him as a bridge QB until whoever we (hopefully) draft is ready.

Bro...NO

Would 10 out of 10 rather have Darnold with Reich than Jameis "20/200" Winston. Jesus man. 

I also want to see what Corral can do.

We have a pickle here fellas. Defensive scheme change, $20 million in Cap space, five draft picks, new staff. 

We need to trade down in the first to get more picks.

    • I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
