What's the point? Literally makes zero sense.  Cam should just wait until a QB is injured to sign somewhere.  I doubt he's signing anywhere with zero chance to be a QB1.  At least with an injury to a QB on a thin QB roster he'll have a chance of starting.  I can't see him willingly holding a clipboard all year.

Cam has already said that he'd be willing to take a backup role. He just wants to sign with a contender.  The time for him as QB1 looks to have passed. That's unfortunate, but real.

All that we can fantasize about now is him subbing for an injured teammate and having a Nick Foles-like journey to the Superbowl and victory.

Problem for Cam is all the teams he would fit on have young QBs where the coach might be worried about how a #1 would deal with it all.   Because even as a legit backup Cam is going to default into some form of leadership role. 

Like he make sense as goal line threat for someone like the Chargers.  Would take some  strain of Ekler who is injury prone.   But Herbert is still growing in that leadership role.  All the Brees, Eli’s, Rivers, etc that could of dealt with it are gone.  

Rams?  They have a QB and coach that could deal with it.  And the run game weakness.  That’s about the only team I could see Cam fitting on that meets his criteria.

The only acceptable trade for Mayfield would be a straight up swap for Darnold.  Would not give up any picks whatsoever. 

Their salaries are comparable (both too big and fully guaranteed). If Cleveland doesn't want to pay Mayfield's, they definitely won't want to pay Darnold. With what they're gonna pay Watson they are trying to offload as much of Mayfield's contract as possible. Trading straight up for Darnold wouldn't help them much-It'd be a pretty good move for us though. I'd rather pay 18+ million to Mayfield than Darnold.

Lol. I mean if they want to tank for a top 10 draft pick, sure.

Brissett can manage a game and get that team to mediocre to below average. Sam will have them nosediving for the bottom.

Them tanking only helps Houston at this point.

Sam would start over Brissett.

win%, comp%, TDs to INTs, QB rating, QBR.  Jacoby beats Sam on basically every metric.  Plenty of them are close but the huge disparity on TDs to INTs I think would comfortably put Jacoby ahead (pending you hadn't overpaid Sam and weren't letting the contract/investment dictate position). 

I'd personally put Jacoby in the Teddy tier.  So I'm not saying Jacoby is good but I'd start him or Teddy over Sam any day.  I think they are safe backup style QBs.  They aren't winning you games but they can have you in position for someone else to do it.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
