Quarterback movement rumor thread

[Halladay]

I think this deserves its own thread with the shifting of quarterbacks that will probably happen this offseason. Stafford has gone to the Rams, so who is next? Ryan? Darnold? If they are move before the draft I think that gives you a pretty good sense they are drafting a quarterback. Is Goff flipped again? I think the Texans will take their time with Deshaun and Wentz is difficult to move though it is possible.

Ryan is going nowhere unless they cut him, which may have huge cap implications.

So they may take a quarterback at 4 and whoever that is will just sit the bench? That doesnt happen these days. The Falcons need to move on from Ryan. They should have moved on a few years ago. He isnt the issue but the rest of their team, I just dont see it. Maybe with better coaching.

Mahomes sits one season, it's not big deal.

He is just one though. I think the Falcons should draft a quarterback especially if Fields is there and let him play. After they blew Super Bowl 51 they were never going to get as close as they did.

Rodgers isn’t going anywhere. He’s the mvp and his team should be in the super bowl. There’s no universe they don’t go hard at it this coming season, with how good Rodgers still is, and after all the “no help for Rodgers” backlash. Packers go wr/te early and maybe not just once. Maybe Jones gets kept on a one year let’s win it all deal.

Could Lions flip Goff to a team making that contract even more favorable to another team while Lions rebuild (And draft own QB)?

Like say could Goff go to Bears for a 2nd with more cap savings on his contract? I assume Rams and Lions both would be on hook for some of Goff deal in this scenario?

No team is trading for Ryan. His cap hit is nearly a quarter of the salary cap/$40 million and has regressed immensely the last couple years.

Falcons could cut him but the dead cap hit could be massive. Next year it gets much easier.

The Mahomes sitting his first season is totally overrated. If the Chiefs weren’t as good as they were that season he would’ve played more. Maybe he should have. He’s not as good as he is because he sat his first season and if he was he wouldn’t be as good as he is now. If you’re good you should be on the field as soon as possible.

Goff will count like $20 million in dead money against the Rams cap in 2021. Stafford will cost the Lions $17 mill in dead cap money in 2021.

Ryan on another team isn't going to cost that new team $40 million in salary cap hit. ATL would have to be willing to absorb a big dead cap hit if they move off him in 2021, even via trade. There are ways to lessen that impact, but would require Ryan returning some signing bonus and the acquiring team basically re-doing his contract to return that signing bonus to him. But, if ATL moves Ryan, they basically need to move Julio as well.

With the Goff trade, every QB taken in the 2016 Draft has been cut, traded or benched except Dak Prescott

So Bears will essentially have two Mitchell Trubiskys

Man does that guy ever fall in love with the worst qbs or what?

 

[John Price]

 

[Blitzkrug]

Of course Denver would be interested. They're like the kings of trotting out mediocre white QBs. Flacco, Siemian, Lynch, Osweiler

 

[StreetHawk]

Seeing reports that Wentz doesn't want to return to Philly, but come on man, you stunk the past season. And your contract is brutal for Philly to move. Unless you rework the contract and return some of the Signing Bonus to facilitate a trade, it's hard for Philly to move you.

Plus, I doubt an acquiring team like Indy/SF/Chi is interested in giving you a $30 mill contract average that they will be locked into for the next 2-3 years. Too much risk for them given your injury history and poor play recently.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Happy Trubisky is gone but the GM who drafted him is the one who will be choosing new QB so that is a problem

Also why would Cowboys be interested in him? They have a perfectly good QB already

If they dont want Prescott I would be happy to have him in Chicago

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Dallas getting Trubisky would be hilarious

 

[StreetHawk]

I doubt any team views Trubisky as a starter. More of a backup option to go to if their guy falters.

dallas has to be open to all options. In the event Dak won’t sign a new deal does a second tag on him make sense given his injury?

The 49ers are apparently still pushing hard to bring in Cousins. Niners offered Jimmy G, a 2nd and a 4th. Minnesota declined and demanded a 1st (logical given the market)

What the hell is Shanahan's fascination with this dude? Cousins isn't...terrible but he's also not a guy i look at and go "yes this is the guy to take me to the top" especially since his time as a Viking has largely been a disappointment.

Y tho

Carr is trending on twitter, apparently a bunch of teams are interested in him.

The Niners could always potentially draft a quarterback. They pick 12th, might be able to pick one there, or maybe trade up a few spots.

Carr won't get traded unless the Raiders get Watson. Pretty much as simple as that.

Thought that if Gruden went after stafford he would flip Carr to a team like Washington or something.

That’s what the rumor is. Get whatever futures they can for Carr and then package that and other stuff for Watson.
