even better! 

Well, only if the Eagles view it that way.

And in any case, the contract is so large, that I honestly have no interest in trading for him even if it's for peanuts.  If we could get him for a 3rd round pick and Teddy, I still wouldn't want to.  

His cap hits for the next four years: $35MM, $31MM, $36MM, and $32MM.  And with the way the contract is structured, the dead money if you were to cut him (I'll exclude this year, because if we trade for him, we'd be auditioning him): $24MM, $15MM, and $6MM.  That means if he bombs this year, and you cut him in the 2022 offseason, you're on the hook for $24MM in dead cap (post June 1 cut would be hits of $9MM and $15MM in consecutive years).  Cutting him the following year is still fairly unpalatable at $15MM.

I don't want that sort of financial risk when our roster is on the upswing.

Can we just start naming anyone that was once a good QB as an option to overspend on? Marino is alive somewhere I think. Payton could unretire, we all know they will give him another ring. I personally would like to see Montana with one of those suits from Edge of Tomorrow if we are just making things up. 

If the Eagles are not sending big picks this should be dead already.

Alright you've convinced me.

Brad Johnson wasn’t that bad. Hometown discount!?

Convince local Phillip Rivers to come out of retirement for one final season, while mentoring a young guy like Wilson, Lance, or Fields

I am at the point that if we get Lance we are fine. It just looks like we would give away the 8th for anyone on the block.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
