f**k Volek.. trade for Orton and we have starter for the next couple years and can let Clausen develop as he is supposed to...

why people would rather bring in Volek instead of trading for Orton is beyond me..

Clausen needs to sit the bench for at least 2 years..

What do you want to trade to Denver for Orton?

Volek, signed as a free agent only costs us $ and would be an excellent acquisiton imho.

Volek also comes with a shitload of quality coaching in his head, would most likele make a great mentor.

Orton's not a FA?? I thought he was. Wow, then yeah Volek makes even more sense to me now.

I think he could figure that coming here might net him an opportunity to start.

(Lord knows he's not going to be a starter in San Diego anytime soon)

That's true. He would, unsurprisingly, be our best bet at QB, too. He did manage to help beat the Colts in the playoffs with Darren Sproles as QB after LDT and Rivers both got injured a few years back. He's won more playoff games than most players on our roster! Haha

depends what you are going for.. with his contract in mind, I find Orton to be a valuable asset as an actual QB.. the real question is who are you assuming will start at QB?

Perhaps we should rephrase the point we are making.. (or rather, I am making)

Rivera's first big mistake ever: bringing in Volek when he could trade for Orton.

What is up with you and Orton? You keep saying trade for him.... Plus didn't he just sign the 1 year franchise tender? Meaning we wouldn't have to trade poo for him? This is a thread about who will Rivera maybe try to bring with him, not "TRADE FOR ORTON"

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
