$1.2M? He’ll be traded, not waived.

Damn they can’t afford him at that amount?

Kirk Cousins' 2nd year in the league: 0-3, 52.% Comp, 4TD, 7INT
3rd year was marginally better: 1-4 61.8% Comp, 10TD, 9INT

Amazing that now he's the belle of the ball, considering that very few at the time probably thought that he was ever gonna be a long time starter in the league. 1 playoff win in 12 years in the league.

Why if Burns and Josh Allen may be available.
Save the picks.

It’s funky. They “pre-restructured” his deal by turning $13.8M of his salary into an option bonus paid right before the season starts. Apparently, that gives them the cap savings now while also allowing them to trade the full $15M bonus+salary to a new team.

…at least that’s how I understand it from piecing together reports. Seems a little too good to be true, though.

AVP, had 5 different QBs last season Cleveland ended up 12th offensively.. had we had a 12th ranked anything offensively last season we are a playoff team.

1) Yes, AVP can coach QB's.

2) Yes, a #12 Offense would probably would have been in the playoffs.

3) It does not follow that AVP can take our Offense from worst to 12th or anywhere near. Of course, I am certainly one who thinks that this is very possible.

The issue is the $14M bonus that is due.

Agreed 100%... what I'll say is.. AVP is now in a much better organization than Cleveland.

Ownership knows they MUST spend, I'd expect this WR group to be significantly different next season.

Mayo's giving AVP full autonomy to run the offense, groom the draft pick.

It can be possible to try to win while growing the QB. Say we are even a middling offense next season with the Dawgs on defense we always will be in games.

With legal tampering starting on the 11th we should know or have a good idea who’s signing where right?

That's why Washington eventually let him go. They knew he was never going to get them to the promised land (not that they've had anyone better since). With his injury, I wouldn't mind him as a one season bridge to the rookie QB, but I think some team will offer him a better contract.

Thoughts on Sam Howell?

Thoughts on Sam Howell?

Probably not old/experienced enough to be a bridge, probably not enough upside to be a better option for the future than No. 3. If we were going into this season with only Mac and Zap, I'd see if he was available. He'd make a lot more sense for a team that doesn't have the firepower to get up to the top 3-5 QBs in the draft.

 

[Headcase]

Not if you’re competent at drafting. We won’t go far regardless if we don’t drastically improve there.

And the best prospects are in the top of the draft, so patching the team to just contend for the playoffs is dumb.....you'll have a pool of less talented players, and without alot of luck we'll be right back where we are in a couple of years.

Don't go for quick patches, embrace the suck, and rebuild the team from the ground up.

 

[Joey007]

Thoughts on Sam Howell?

I think Howell would be a better fit for a team like the Jets or Rams with an aging QB that may need replaced in the near future. He needs a year or two to sit. I think the long term potential with him is definitely still there.

 

[hornetfb85]

Thoughts on Sam Howell?

I will reserve judgement on any Redskin or Commander or RedMander or whatever they’re called due to the absolute $hi***ow that organization has been. Howell could be a very good asset for a good team with a plan.

 

[PowerRunRevival]

I think Wilkins should be one of the Pats top targets. He’s from the area, and a d line of Judon, Barmore, Wilkins and White would be a problem. This would have to result in more 4 man fronts but I’m fine with that.

 

[hornetfb85]

We absolutely need to upgrade offensively…but if the impact players are on the defensive side, turn this defense into a monster through FA. Attack the O through primarily the draft, and some FA

I want the Pats to sign him just so I can order a XXXL "Fatukasi" jersey!!
