Good thing the NFL doesn't have fully guaranteed contracts like MLB. I don't think the Broncos are concerned about winning next year. The dead cap from cutting him is going to be insane.

squire12 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Feels like a Denver roster cleansing might in the making. Taking on that additional cap charge is likely to lead to some players being traded. Sutton, Jeudy might be 2 that are playing elsewhere in 2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not pretend like everyone knew Russ would fall off a cliff the minute he was traded. Pete Carroll and the Seahawks definitely did, though. If they thought Russ still had it, they would never have traded him. You’re right though. He was a top 10 QB at the time coming off a couple of great statistical years. I wanted Russ on the Raiders at the time after he listed Vegas as one of his “preferred destinations” - major bullet dodged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be interesting to see how they structure this release. Take the whole enormous dead cap hit in one go or spread it out over a couple of years? I think you’d want to move on as quickly as possible, and you take the full $85m or whatever it is dead cap in 2024, knowing that you’ll struggle to field a competitive team, and then start fresh in 2025 with a top QB prospect from the draft and a full salary cap allowance again. But I don’t think Sean Payton’s brain works like that and I could see his ego trying to remain competitive over a couple of years despite the big cap hits. Edit - just seen in another thread that it doesn’t appear to be as simple as taking the full dead cap hit in one year, and it’ll need to be split somehow. So not quite as interesting a decision to be made… Edited December 28, 2023 by Nightmare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because it did not have the impact for the Saints that J Johnson was able to make happen in Dallas with the Walker trade. But yeah, the WIlliams trade certainly ranks up there with one of the all time worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not pretend like everyone knew Russ would fall off a cliff the minute he was traded. Not everyone. A few of us in the Raiders sub caught mad flak for railing against it and sorta called it. I vividly remember saying the only reason he wanted Vegas was for Ciara to his the casino circuit while he bilked us. A lot of people thought it was Russ who made the Seahawks and Pete, but it didn't take a lot of looking to see otherwise- a lot of people simy never wanted to, you know, actually look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

43M Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 This kind of makes me feel a little better about the Steelers QB situation. ...kind of.....a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Real question: why is it that everytime a QB and coach separate, we have to see who “made” the other one? Not only that, but all context goes out the window. QB is aging and past their prime? Doesn’t matter. New QB with HC is backup quality? Doesn’t matter.
