I don't think that can be right 

If it is it's not likely all in one year

That would be worse if it's spread out to multiple years as it then completely negates the advantage of having a QB on a rookie deal.

Need to hope the hit is all in the first year or else it makes the trade even dumber than it already is.

I think we just eat the signing bonus

Hes got a 41 million guaranteed and 20million SB. Im seeing 35 million is dead cap. Also seeing how it could only be 20, but guessing..

@Toomers figure this out, brother....

No. DJ was scheduled to have a 24M Cap hit so they gained almost 10M in cap space. No need to make room. 
 

   Gotta try something. And the cost wasn’t bad. QB roulette sucks. And they are going to have to hit on whatever plan there is for skill positions. But overall, I would have done it and it is big deal to have it done this early.

Im still hung up on DJ, unwise.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................coming to terms with the other parts.

2nd big part is I was never that high on ANY QB, didnt feel it was worth the juice.........they sure feel different.

So, looking back...

Poles knew he could get first rounders in both 24 and 25...but he didn't. He got the 24 first, but only a second in 25.

Still can't believe that
