He'll get his new deal. Maybe McDaniel made a deal with Shanny where he would take certain coaches with him in return of him trading X to the Niners?? Maybe? Lol, makes sense though. Howard should be getting a new deal as it will likely be his last big one of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyRam Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Ramsey has already been into Gilmore in the past about joining the Rams. I highly doubt it happens, but nothing surprises me any more - not with how cavalier we are about kicking the can down the road with regards to the cap.

Yeah - quite possibly the worst case scenario for the Colts on this deal. They gave up the FRP because Wentz played the required time for the Colts, but those games played proved that Carson Wentz isn’t a good QB. I doubt Wentz gets another starting job in the NFL - maybe he keeps a seat warm for a team that wants to sit Pickett/Corral/Willis or perhaps wins a job in a competition against a guy like Danny Jones, Davis Mills or Tua Tagovailoa - but his hopes of getting an undisputed starting job are effectively over. Eagles fans were right, I guess. (I need to take a shower after saying that…) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Is there a better landing spot for Trubisky than with the Giants? He has a chance to start (if not right away, when DJ inevitably gets hurt or if he doesn't improve) and he's got familiarity with Daboll and the offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I've read the Washington board a bit and some posts seem to suggest that they (the Washington staff) has liked him in the past and I know that the athletic beat writer for Washington "projected" Trubisky as the most likely acquisition for Washington to start. He wouldn't have familiarity with the scheme, but would also possibly have a chance to start in that scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Cowherd made a similar prediction, noting that Trubisky is more highly regarded in the league than by fans. Say what you will about Colin, but he doesn't throw stuff out like that out of thin air (you can tell when its conjecture and when he has sources). So the whispers/smoke is certainly there.

DerbyRam Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I understand the Colts not wanting Wentz for the long-term, but is he really that bad you have to take a $15m hit in dead cap without any alternative in his place? I'm not so sure. I definitely would still take him over a few QBs in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is just a massive wuss who is a terrible leader and is getting paid a ton. He isn't the kind of guy you want leading your franchise. Realistically, if he had the intangibles and was willing to work on his own game/take criticism from coaches and fans he would absolutely still be wanted in Indy and likely still be the QB in Philly. Wentz still has the ability to be a really good QB. He just is an absolute baby mentally and it has killed his career. One of those things where you look at it and just think... what a shame. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it was pretty apparent when his WRs started talking ish about him to the media behind his back... multiple years in a row. Dude has a terrible attitude; But he reflects a pristine image to the cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty crazy how similar they are. Amazing talents with fragile egos that struggle to improve because of it. The big difference between the two though is that Simmons will likely still have a very productive career going forward, Wentz I have doubts that will be the case because of what comes with being an NFL QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wentz's locker room rep isn't exactly the greatest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, no doubt that Wentz gets another crack somewhere. He may be entering year by year QB journeyman / purgatory stage of his career, but he'll likely be a full time starter again...he just may do it for 4 different teams in 4 years type of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
