Curious for opinions. It's been discussed in a couple threads but only briefly. NO placed a first-round tender on him so the Pats would need to give up their first.
According to a quick glance at overthecap.com NO has $-7m in cap space so depending on the offer it may be difficult for them to match. However, it may also be difficult for NE to put something together unless they create more space - the way to steal him would probably be by front-loading the deal and taking advantage of NO's cap space situation having already paid Brees.
Personally, I really like the guy's athleticism and work ethic. Bringing in someone with his all-around skill set and "I'll play anywhere to help the team win" motivation would be great for the team as far as getting over the Brady-Left-Us-Blues and reset the culture back to the do-your-job, whatever-it-takes mentality.
The question is, of course, cost as well, and whether the team really intends to give Stidham his shot. IMO, even if they bring in Hill, they should still let the QBs compete and whoever wins the job will have earned it.
Truthfully, I am interested to see what McDaniels would do with him since McDaniels drafted Tebow and I've always wondered how that would have looked...
What are your thoughts? Yes, no, maybe? Not for a first? Discuss!
