I've heard rumors that Foles could be floated as part of a trade to help move up if the team they are trading with needs a back up QB, especially those who think 15, 43 and 45 isn't a steep enough price to jump to from 15 to 4 for a franchise QB.
I'd be shocked if someone was willing to pay Foles $8,750,000 to be a backup. (if that # is correct) Foles is dogshit.
1M of it is prorated so that is signing bonus that has to be paid by LA regardless, not a team that trades for him and to fully flesh that thought out if you traded him you would be on the hook for 2M instantly because of the 1m prorated in 2017 and it would all hit the books once traded. So now it's 7.75M, nothing stops LA from eating 3-4M of that 6M roster bonus so that a team didn't have to pay Foles 7.75M. Hell I think LA has already paid him that 6M because its already past the 5th day of the league year, they might not have to pay him anything other than 1.75M.
Sorry forgot to address this point, did you see what Dallas trotted out there after Romo went down?
Well makes sense. The article is a little confusing when it comes to cap space as it asserts that the Rams don't have the cap space to eat the 6 million yet if he has already been paid that how does it work? Does some of that 6 million hit in 2017? Meh, don't care enough to dig.
I don't want Foles, but I also didn't think Johnny Manziel was a 1st round draft pick and I know of at least 2 owners that did and one of them would be involved for trading for Foles and has the balls to say Foles would be a quality back up in Dallas with a straight fucking face.
It's easier to get infatuated with a college star QB, shit happens all the time in the draft. Once teams have a few years of video at the NFL on a guy though...wait, nevermind, somehow Josh McCown keeps ending up starting for different teams.
Not going to lie, rooting for him to somehow be the starter against you guys and beat you next year.
Probably because you don't have the time or inclination to be up on all teams needs, cap space, etc etc and follow your team. I had to use OTC to answer your questions because I don't keep up with the Rams other than to see if it conflicts to much with my conspiracy theory. That being said Dallas has Romo and Kellen Moore and PS Showers guy that isn't important enough to look up his first name to spell it correctly. Look what is out there, what is left, the only people left worth being a back up will make more than that 8M you claimed no one would pay and that is Fitzpatrick. One could claim Manziel is out there and then point to Jerry but something tells me that while he may end up in Dallas, it will be in an orange uniform not silver and blue. Foles at 3M to back up Romo starts to look better, especially when you consider even if you got to 4 and no QB has been taken, no matter who they take nothing changes the fact that the Cowboys are fucked if Romo gets hurt.
Chiefs vs. Texans - Box Score - January 9, 2016 - ESPN
Denver has been mortgaging the future with elderly veterans to squeeze out one more superbowl with the ghost of Peyton Manning. It's not like they're going to be a dynasty for the next 5 years. They will go downhill fast and Kaepernick won't change that. No way they're going to keep that defense together for long. I think if Kaepernick can beat out Gabbert for the starting spot in SF he only increases his value to some other team next year even if the team sucks since the expectations are so low there this year. Of course if he comes out throwing balls in the dirt like last year he's fucked but that is also true in Denver.
Straight up, Kaepernick is better than Peyton's corpse that played most of last year. If he can find his game again, everyone knows his ceiling could still be pretty high. They wouldn't need an all world D if their offense did more. I'm not expecting them to contend for another 5 years, unless Elway manages to really hit in the draft and rejuvenate the team. Every SB winner loses some key free agents, but I still think Denver's D can be very good this coming year.
I don't understand it fully, but the cowboys have a LB who retired to escape his last team then came back the next year. Maybe the team just has some sort of option. I'm sure the lions never released sanders,
