IF the Patriots had a QB making $40m, they'd be at $130m or 15th in the league, with $111m spent on D.
The difference is really whether or not you have a good QB.
OK Cousin, I am going see your $40mm QB and raise you a $50mm one. Your pretense is right.
Anyway, I'd like to start off today expounding upon a unique Saturday breakfast . Crisp bacon and two eggs over (I dropped one...opps. Had to get another) infused with Mexican cheese added for flavor, some home made thick slices of raised bread toasted and buttered with wild blueberry jam and then the side dish of an ingredient........ fried cabbage cut up and cooked in butter with champagne vinaigrette. Use a liberal amount of pepper, Top that all off with cranberry-grape juice and orange flavored tea. Pretty goo range of taste Cousins and hearty. The flavors and different tastes are delicious.
I saw this on a Vikings site so I can't take all of the credit or wrath of posters. Would Harbaugh trade Herbert? The Chargers are in CAP hell still. He is starting his tenure in quicksand and disposed of three beloved Chargers and had to save two others.
The negative on this whole supposition is that Herbert has a no trade $50mm deal but he arguably might be your top 5 QB in the NFL. He's still young. How do you convince Herbert to go to Minnesota or new England for that matter, and leave the sunshine of Southern California? Do you have to offer him more years?
That being said we still have the cash to spend for a Herbert that many Teams do not. It has been said that Herbert might not be the fit with Harbaugh as he wants to run first. He loves his Wolverine QB McCarthy who was more of a point guard and handed off a bunch. McCarthy was not concerned about 300 yard games. Herbert was not Drafted by Harbaugh so there is not a "I Drafted him" connection.
WHAT IF? What if there was a three way trade (yea ok....like the NBA) to help three Teams? A wide man said this the other day about the Vikings acquiring another First Round pick and them being desperate to get a top QB in this Draft; They did this for a reason and do they have a hand shake deal with a Team at the top (Pats?)
What if we took their purported deal of trading out of #3 for picks #11 and #23. They know that is no where near enough.....so they add a 1st Rounder in 2025 and a Third in 2026?
What if New England counters and says keep your 2025 First Rounder and give us WR Justin Jefferson now? They do NOT have the money to pay him buy we do.
What if the Chargers see the potential of massive Draft picks for Harbaugh's new regime and we offere said pick #11 and pick #23 plus our pick #1 in 2025 and the exytra 3rd we got bfrom the Vikes....Their counte might be ...nyet, give ius your First Rounder in 2026.? What if they say "throw in RB Stevenson"? ..they are going to run a lot. Would that interest the Bolts? Would that be enough to get Herbert to New England? Would he kill the Trade? The CAP will probabaly rise again in 2025 so a $50mm QB might be the norm in the next few years and his contract might be chaep.....relatively speaking.
The Bolts can get McCarthy at #5 (unless soemeone blows away Monty and the Cards) and pick a WR or TE like Bowers at pick #11 and an OT at #23
File this under"never happening" if you want but it is interesting. We have the CAP and resources to actually do this.
