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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
