Arizona is wanting to re-sign him, but they only got about 5.4m in cap space. I’d be nice if next year Wentz & Ertz can have some memorable performances against the Eagles!! I’m just hoping if we sign Ertz that we don’t do so on a huge deal. We still need to sign a starting veteran MLB, re-sign our own FAs, re-sign McCain or upgrade the FS position & sign an upgrade as a 3rd DE, WR & a slot CB type so Fuller can stay outside.

If we lose him add that to another need on our list. I get that Gibson could be a 3 down back & receiving back as well but if we lose JD, it’s a major whole to fill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are just not understanding the impact of this Wentz trade. We're now going to lose a bunch of players they wanted to keep and cannot afford to go into free agency and replace them. Its one of the worst moves this team has done in years. Just god awful and it's having rippling affects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will have nothing to do with Caron Wentz trade. We have outlined how they can easily free up 30-40 million, and probably will come Wednesday. I get that you hate the trade, but you really are making more of it than is reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no, it's not "easily" when it means having Wentz on the books in 2023 for 15M if he sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who else was going to start and have a chance to lead us to playoffs for under what we are paying for Wentz? None of the rookies, that's for sure. Willis takes us to 3-14 or something and Ron is gone. He is going to take a couple of years. Maybe you can got 7-10 with Pickett and buy Ron one more season. Jimmy G will cost as much. Marriobisky? I don't know man... Watson wasn't coming here imo, and I wouldn't want him. I doubt Ron would either. For the obvious reason that has nothing to do with his talent. Either the money was going to be spent on a QB or we were going to be stuck trotting out Taylor again.

Wentz has struggle for years now. It hasn't been one or two seasons but he's basically been mediocre since his injury in 2017. I don't see how he changes our fortunes? So say they take Howell, Pickett, Willis or Corral and maybe we don't make the playoffs but the signs are there that they found the guy then we're really on to something. As it stands now, we basically need Wentz to be a guy that he hasn't been in 5 years. It makes no sense to me to go this route. I just don't see it working out.

How does it have minimal ramifications? If it doesn’t work out he’d count approximately $15M towards the cap next year to not be on the team, correct? That’s opposed to absolutely nothing. Mind you, you’re better with cap implications than I am so I’ll take your word for it but zero against the cap is much better than $15M if he bombs.

See plenty of @Thaiphoon's messages. I'm not stressing over $13ish million* added to future years. *edit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
