Theres zero chance it costs a 2nd AND a 4th to essentially dump Darnolds contract. Osweiler had 3 years and 54 million left on his contract at a time when the salary cap was 50 million lower than it is today... and he was traded for a 2nd and 6th with a 4th coming back to Houston. 

Darnold has one year left at the same AAV. A 6th is probably what it would cost on the expensive side to dump that contract. Hell, we dumped Teddy with 2 years and 40 million and actually got back a 6th. 

This notion that its going to cost a 2nd and 4th to dump one year of Darnold is absurd. If that was the case the Panthers would just keep him as a sunk cost. They're not going to keep sinking future assets into him when he will not be a Panther regardless in 12 months. 

"After all, the Carolina Panthers gave Bridgewater a three-year, $63M contract in 2020 with $33M guaranteed. However, the Panthers opted to trade Bridgewater to the Broncos the following season, agreeing to pay $7M of his $11.5M salary, with Denver absorbing the remaining $4.5M"

So it was $4.5M they took on, not 40. Which is a good price for Teddy, hence the sixth coming back.

At least we agree Darnald and his contract is a negative and not an asset.

2ND and 4th is a guess, I could very well by wrong. What I fear is our brain trust grabbing every option they see too get more money to pay Watson

If we get a franchise LT and QB in the same offseason, I'll quit drinking.
