At least we didn't do this. 

They are going all in. They have about 2 seasons to make it out of the nfcs before Blank blows it up. That old geezer wants a SB win before he croaks.

Didn't seem to bother DJ Moore who had career highs last season.

DJ has a ton of experience masking bad QB play from his time with the Panthers.  He's always among the league leaders in YAC; last year was no exception.  I don't think it's fair to hold Mooney to the same standards, which is reflected in his contract compared to DJ's.

I'm wondering if this had something to do with the urgency to get something for Brian Burns:

 

If they end up releasing Bosa (that saves them $47 mil over 2 years, wow), that could be interesting. 

He's getting up there in age and coming off injuries, but could hit a second life at 28 for 4-5 more years...just needs to move past the injuries.  Not my top pick, but it'll be interesting to see what happens in LA today.

Those top 5--all QBs who are either past their primes or underperforming--makes me so Happy that we did not land Watson.

I would say Matt Stafford has very much played to his contract - dude is awesome, though definitely on the tail end of his career.

It's gonna be Mike Williams. He's a good WR2 when he's not banged up, but he's also coming off major injury and you can't pay that kind of cash to a guy that hasn't been able to take full speed contact yet. Add in Allen is Herbert's favorite target by a mile and it should make that choice even easier.

      Down in Atlanta....

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see that perspective, but there are some glaring differences.  At that time, the QB in Green Bay was entrenched  or proven and Love was the 26th pick of the first round--not the 8th.  Picking him at 8 was a reach, and people in Green Bay thought picking love at 26 was a bit of a reach (I recall many wondering if he would be a first or second rounder).  Cousins is new--has not even met his teammates.  This will impact the locker room differently.  Since the fans are not that attached to familiar as the Cheeseheads were to Rodgers, Cousins will have a bad game and the controversy will begin.  For that reason, I am not sure they did anything but use a first round pick to weaponize their fan base against the QB they just paid $100m in guaranteed money.  That did not happen in Green Bay--it will happen in Atlanta.  Popcorn is out.

      Arod wasn't new to the team, nor did he sign 180milion deal with 100 million guarantees. Plus love was a 26th pick, not 8th overall. BTW cousins has a no-trade clause as well.... I think it made arod win the MVP too....which in itself worth the pick... The main point of drafting a rookie is for them to play on that cheap contract. At min penix will play two years from now, thus washing out the good part of his contract. Only way this works if cousins gets re-injured or busts. He will be 26-27 and need another contract by then.  No matter what the saints do, Each cap dollars do matter. It's an awful awful deal no matter the out come. Glad panthers will benefit!!
