SteelKing728 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I'd be very happy for Teddy, but realistically, he's not going to live up to that. I think in the right situation he can be Alex Smith good. That's not worth 30mil/. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the point, but the $18M average that he was paid was only 7.7% of the cap. Now, you're talking about spending 15% of the cap on a similarly experienced player. That's not going to get him $30M....even in this current QB market. $30M is for proven starter-level QBs. Teddy will be lucky to get Nick Foles money.

I think it's fairly obvious there were no takers last season, since he stayed in New Orleans to back up Brees, and I'm not convinced his short stretch as fill-in was enough to improve his prospects this time around. If anyone is still in search of a fame management QB, he's in luck, but I'm not sure there's much of that around at this point in the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the cap today? $18M is 7.7% of $233M. It may not be right, let me go back and check where I saw it. Edit: The one year he spent in Houston, his cap number was actually $12M, which was indicated as 7.7%. They actually paid him $21M in actual cash. https://overthecap.com/player/brock-osweiler/8/ Either way, it doesn't really change my opinion. If he had actually fulfilled the contract, it would have been an average of $18M, but, in the end, (partially due to the Browns' willingness to work with them), they were protected from taking a huge hit. If Teddy gets a $30M average (which I still highly doubt will happen), the team signing him will have to structure it similarly.

swede700 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Unless he can play slot corner, I don't think the Vikings need a slot receiver. They already have 2 WRs that can do that. I like Jarius just as much as anyone here, but he's not really needed. They need guys who can play outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wright could return Punts reliability id look at him, but another slot option isn’t a need. We need some speed on the outside if anything.

vike daddy Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 According to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, free agent Case Keenum is on the Browns' radar. Keenum has had a high degree of success, particularly with Stefanski. In 2017 with the Vikings, Keenum went 11-3 as starter and took them to the NFC Championship Game, before they went all-in with Kirk Cousins the following year. But with Stefanski as his quarterbacks coach, he posted a career-best 98.3 passer rating, with 22 touchdowns and seven interceptions. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/02/26/browns-reportedly-interested-in-case-keenum/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be highly surprised if they bailed on Mayfield anytime soon, considering he showed some promise the year before last...his problem last year was the lack of institutional control (to use the NCAA term) from the head coach on down. I don't anticipate that same issue with Stefanski, because I just think he has a better grasp on what the HC is supposed to do, unlike Kitchens, who didn't exactly have the best role models, outside of maybe when he was under Arians in Arizona. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
