I think him being off the team is a good thing but the timing, just getting a 6th and the cap it is messed up.  Why not wait until the draft, why not wait to see if a qb went down.  Seems like we jumped on the first offer and we didnt save poo

I think you are vastly underestimating the situation. This is absolutely a scenario that you jump on the first offer (not even saying this was it). We save 5mil+ this season and get a 6th round pick. How is that a bad deal? Majority of us here would have been happy if we traded him for nothing in return

A 6th is poo especially since they are not taking all of it on.  Again, why not wait if this was the best deal and we are still going to have to pay for him?  Saving 5 million isnt poo this year.  Its not the difference between playoff or not.  And now we still need a backup.  I just dont understand the timing if this is the deal

If you look at it like we traded Teddy, a 2nd, a 4th, and $7M for Darnold and $6M in cap - a 23 year old former #3 pick that many say have a potentially very high ceiling - it does not seem like a bad trade. 

Valid.

Honestly though, I just look at it as a bad quarterback being gone and us getting something back for him is borderline miraculous.

We dont need the cap space this year.

1. it'll roll into next year's cap.

2. We're still going to be shopping FA's that get cut. A lot of teams can't sign their draft pick right now.

3. We have several players that we need to be working out long term deals with. That starts in earnest next week.

No guarantee that the same deal would be available after the draft.

Boils down to this...

1. Keep Teddy.  Cap hit is 23m in 2021 and plus 5m dead in 2022 assuming he's cut after the season.

2. Cut Teddy Now.  Cap hit is 20m.  No pain in 2022.  Save 3m.

3. Trade Teddy.  Cap hit is 17m .  No pain in 2022.  Save 6m and get a early 6th.

You take option 3 all day long.

If we do in fact take a QB at 8 his value goes to like zero.  Everyone would know at that point he is being released.  

Decent move as we basically traded Teddy, a 2nd and 4th for Darnold.

Signing him was horrible from the very beginning. I think literally everyone on here can agree with that. I see a lot of folks pooing this move, but given the situation we walked in to, I think it was probably the best we could have done. 
 

I, for one, couldn’t be happier he’s gone, and am very excited to see what Darnold or Fields can do with our young stud coaches.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
