You're right, no one will trade for him.  But the second part doesn't make a lick of sense.  There is no cap relief whatsoever from cutting him.

This isn't like other situations where a guy has a huge cap hit and it's only partially guaranteed.  Sam Darnold being cut is just 18 million in dead cap, next year only.  Whether he is on the roster or not, we're stuck with it.

Let him sit on the bench.

I know I just don’t even want him on the bench. Brings nothing to the backup role besides just being a good teammate. Rather have a backup that can be competent in the system. Cant stress enough how bad this dude is at football.

If I were him I'd do whatever it took to stay in the NFL then go to Canada if I can't find a team and try and pull a Flutie or Warren Moon.

But what can he do?

He's not even good enough to be a backup in the league.

Even Mark "Buttfumble" Sanchez had a better career.

I think it depends on how they view certain QB’s in the upcoming draft.

Either it doesn’t work out and they have their choice of Corral, Willis, Howell, or Pickett.

Or it does work out and they are probably only looking at a choice between Howell or Pickett.

Additionally, if it does work out then Cam is probably getting a two or three year extension.

How they view the upcoming QBs may be more of a worry than anyone knows. Their previous choices haven't been good. And Tepper may force them to take a guy even if Rhule and Co aren't sold on him just to have a rookie QB on the roster regardless of Cam's status with the team. The longer Rhule and Co are in charge the worse I feel that Tepper made a huge mistake that will set the team back that much further. And Honestly, I don't feel good about Tepper as an owner either. But we're stuck with him unless the NFL forces a sale.

Tepper may have to Jerry-Jones things unfortunately.

You may see a Chip Kelly scenario happen because of this. Tepper may ask Rhule to step back as far as FO decisions and leave everything to Fitt. 

That's not necessarily a good choice either. Yeah Fitt loves to make trades and it can be exciting, but that isn't always a good thing either.

Amen 

Rhule’s moves at qb in free agency and skipping on QBs and  LTs in the drafts is to me egregious and shows zero understanding of the NFL and  set this team back years 

with all the rule  changes in the past 10 years, it’s a QB driven league in the NFL where the best of the best play 

this isn’t Baylor or temple where a coach can pick up some scruff and  ‘coach em up’ at QB.  

if I’m Tepper, either Rhule is gone or some credible nfl talent evaluator is brought in as a consultant to ‘help’ him  

cam Newton has come to try and save yet another coach’s ass and that’s a fact  can he do it…,remains to be seen 

 

Or let Fitterer make the personnel decisions including the draft.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
