DeSim

He requested a trade after the 2010 season, owner said no fug you. So Carson decided to retire, and Bengals placed him on reserved/retired list. That same off-season the Bengals drafted Andy Dalton and halfway through the season they saw that Andy was going to be their next franchise QB, so they ended up trading Carson to the Raiders after their starter Jason Campbell got hurt.

For a true franchise QB anything is possible.

2018 only played 9 games but had 80 rec yards per game, and 2019 was out the entire year. I would say 2020 was his only true off year. Many people believe he was still dealing with injuries throughout this year even though he played the entire season, some of the lack of production could've also been in part that the Bengals now finally had additional help at WR with Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins. I know Tyler Boyd has been with the team since 2016 but he started producing once AJ went down in 2018. Great signing for Arizona if Green is now 100% healthy.

If we do end up acquiring him, I really hope we at least don't give up this year's 2nd round pick, so many potential starting OL will be available by that pick. I know our defense will take a hit with this trade but if we can get someone like Alex Leatherwood, Jalen Mayfield, Wyatt Davis, Radunz, Eichenberg in the 2nd...Our offense is going to be crazy.

Excited to get a franchise QB and afraid of how much we'd give up, but whatever ends up happening, I'll never get off this mfn train.

Benjamin Allbright @AllbrightNFL What book has the best odds on Carolina landing Watson? Asking for a me. I got you bud.

So Kendrick Bourne went to the Patriots and Corey Davis to the Jets, this dude is 0-2 so far. This dude just throwing guesses out there.

Definitely agree with you that it's a lot, but it's also 100x better than what they had.

Elflein - backup center, will compete for either guard position, if doesn't win...decent backup for all 3 spots. Erving - played center in college, could compete for either guard position, could compete for the T position opposite of Moton. Decent backup for all 5 positions in the OL if loses out on any starting battles Versatile signings. Helps us in taking BPA in the draft.

Huge win for Cam

So with this addition we now have a backup center/potential starting guard or backup to both guard positions if we bring back John Miller and draft another guard. Nice signing.

ouuuuu free pie.

No, bring back John Miller and address one of the two remaining OL starting positions in the 2nd round. Many potential starting OL could be available by our second pick. Guys like Alex Leatherwood, Wyatt Davis, Jalen Mayfield, Dillon Radunz, Eichenberg, Trey Smith. Fill the remaining spot through free agency.

Man...I can't wait for the draft day to get here already. Whether it's Deshaun or a rookie, we are getting a new starting QB, can't wait to see who that is going to be.

Agreed, let's just hope the organization and coaching staff get it right this time in how to build around a superstar.

Possibly the only way the 49ers (or any team) agree to trade for Teddy is if we accept to still take on a huge part of that salary. I don't know exactly how that'll work but hell, I'm all for taking the fully amount guaranteed from this year if it means he's gone and if we can be clear completely from that contract heading into the 2022 offseason.

Yeah I don’t care what they do with him either, just get him the hell out of here. I was just mentioning that for whoever wonders what that trade would mean for Jimmy G

For those not reading the entire thing, and just the title.. Jimmy seems to be their guy, they just want a better backup.

Exactly the same way I feel about him. If he's still available at our pick and the only QB left is Mac Jones, I hope some team that's in the Pitts hype train looks to trade with us in order to secure him.

I would definitely love this draft but the Lions offering their 2nd, 3rd, and 5th just to move up two spots in the 2nd round? Definitely not going to happen. Also, Creed Humphrey isn't dropping to the 3rd round.

True, but that offer is just a starting point, they'll definitely want more than just that.

Yeah but that was only a single 1st round pick that we would've given up AND Teddy. No way to giving up 3 1st's.

Depends on the type of tag, theres three: Non-exclusive, Exclusive, and Transition Tag. Non-exclusive, we can negotiate with Dak, if he agrees on an offer sheet with us, Cowboys can match it and keep him. If they don't match, then he's ours and that's when we have to compensate the Cowboys with 2 1st round picks. Cost of tag is average top 5 salaries in the position of the PREVIOUS 5 years. Exclusive, the player cannot negotiate with any other teams. Cost of tag is average of top 5 salaries in the position of the CURRENT year. Most costly. Transition, same as the non-exclusive but we don't have to give the Cowboys any compensation. Cost is average of top 10 salaries in the position of the PRIOR year. (For all 3, the cost are either those or 120% of the player's prior year salary, whichever is greater). The transition tag on Dak is most likely out of the question. If they place the Non-exclusive tag on him, I'd gladly give up 2 1st round picks for him.

Yup, but in all seriousness now, as mentioned in the tweet, definitely performs well in special teams and has played decent on offense when given the chance. Good move.
