If he gets cut - He's a F A to sign anywhere. Obviously no one wants to sign here . I like it better than the Russell deal. Hell, we take a shot and see. At least we didn't give up what the Colts gave and he's just a year older ! I'm not saying he's the second coming of Sonny J but he should be a competent NFL starter.

e16bball Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Waiting for financial details to come out before completely losing my mind, but let’s just briefly take note of the fact that Carson Wentz’s 2022 cap number is $28M. That’s basically our entire current cap space. We’ll actually have to free some up to sign all our rookies, at the moment. So forget about signing a top-end WR or a Bobby Wagner or a Marcus Williams. Unless they immediately extend Wentz, which would somehow be even worse. If the Colts didn’t throw in a TON of money to facilitate this deal, it’s real REAL bad from our end.

It's a desperation move by a Franchise that has made a lot of terrible moves under the current ownership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be able to free up a bunch of cap by either: cutting Collins, Restructuring Jackson or Fuller, and/or possibly extending Ereck Flowers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that how far we’ve sunk, we consider the contract for our new franchise QB to be “not bad” because we can get out of it quickly with no lasting cap damage?

lavar703 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 All he has to do is play 70% of the snaps this year and the third for 2023 becomes a second. If you wanted to know how bad Rivera is at this there you go. Dude sucks. Get him out of here now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We basically have him locked in around $28 mil for the next 3 years if we want to. And yes we can easily get out of it if we want to. That isn't extremely expensive for a starting QB.

He sucks and we just gave all of our cap space away plus what’s going to amount to a third and a second and a swap of seconds. I mean, I know you like Rivera but dude, come on. At some point you have to see this isn’t going well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
