McCarthy is terrible.

Darnold was set to make BIG bank but blew it. He is making basically the same as Mayfield this year. And below them are Fields Jones and Rodgers.

Still six times more expensive than a guy they had on a rookie deal. McCarthy may end up being ass, but why commit 100 million over 3 years to someone like darnold? They might as well have signed Rodgers for half the price for one year if they wanted to go the vet route

Somebody did someone a personal favor with that grade. I have to wonder how much money Tepper has tied up in PFF since we are hiring their guys now.

Yeah, I said in that PFF thread, it must’ve been the same (paid off) guy that said Bryce led the league in all those arbitrarily subjective “big-time throws” on his post-benching redemption tour.

Brock Purdy is making 53 million per season. Geno Smith is making more per season than Darnold.

Rodgers wasn't going to sign there with a 10th overall pick breathing down his neck. He saw what happened to Cousins in Atlanta.

I don't know why you're arguing with me like I'm pounding the table for Darnold. All I'm saying is they had other options and 30 million a season for a starting QB is not that much anymore. Dak Prescott is the highest paid QB this year with 60 million.

Furthermore. Even Daniel Jones went out and blew the doors off the Dolphins on Sunday. The Vikings have one of the two best WR's in the league. They just made a dumb decision.

    • Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
    • Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
