The QB dominoes are starting to fall. Mac Jones is out in New England, Baker is staying in Tampa and Russell Wilson is out in Denver.  From everything I'm reading, Cousins to the Falcons is almost assured unless the Vikings have a last minute change of heart to keep him.

The two wildcards are Wilson and Fields. Once those two have been settled, we will see all the teams remaining with holes at QB1.

I'd be terrified to pay Baker that much with Canales no longer there.

They will regret it. They barely won the division and beat the struggling Eagles in the playoffs.

 

I still don't fear the Bucs in the grand scheme of things. This is just a bad division. If Cousins signs with Atlanta I think they are the favorites though.

Honestly, I wouldn't be worried about it if I were Tampa. Low guaranteed money, fairly short term and low overall price.

That is about what I would think the 49ers will try to offer Purdy.

Baker getting paid is cray cray. I guess you can really change your career by having 1 good season in a terrible division. Good for him.

 

 

He is a QB so it's demand vs lack of supply. If they stop being run first then they will learn real fast why he failed elsewhere and was cheap when they picked him up off the scrap heap. If he has to justify his price tag is when it's going to get real interesting. Much easier to build a better team around him when he was cheap.

I was hearing Wilson to Pittsburgh, but I have not been keeping up. Fields then to maybe the Raiders?

Without Canales will he be as good?  Stay tuned, but Baker is known  for having a good year once in a while--streaky.

That's a possible destination for Wilson.  Jimmy G still has some years on his contract so it would be as a backup, initially, if Fields went to the Raiders.  I don't think Fields can beat out a healthy Jimmy G. Wilson supposedly got a call from the Giants.  I don't see that happening though as Jones' contract is too steep right now to ditch and Wilson isn't signing as a backup.  Maybe Fields ends up there as a back up for a season and then the main guy if they cut Jones in 2025.

the Giants sitting at #6 are in really good position to grab a QB this year when the market is better than it will be in 2025, I would speculate.  Would they take McCarthy at #6?  Maybe not as risky as it was when Gettlemen took Jones early.  I think that would mess up the Vikings' draft.  I am really ready to get free agency behind us so we can see through this muddy water.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
