There are some teams absolutely boxed in on bad qb contracts

Cowboys are in a bad spot too, but the browns take the cake.

For the past several years, the Panthers were not boxed in due to QB (imagine if we signed Watkins), but we had the dead cap which had the same impact.

They all did it to themselves. The Browns took that swing and did it fully guaranteed. Overpaying for Dak was always a mistake but teams would rather have a guy with good regular season stats that folds in the playoffs everytime then an unknown. Miami did it with Tua. Atlanta did it with Cousisns.

I guess it's a slower way to lose a job vs taking a swing on a rookie early and having that fail. Atlanta did both and what a rollercoaster that was.

One of the few good decisions Tepper has made since buying this team is saying "okay I REALLY want this guy but I can't do THAT."

It’s ultimately damming to his decision making to even consider it and it’s indicative of the kind of person he is though. It really hurt my support of the team.

Oh don't get me wrong, he absolutely got saved from being a complete moron by the historically king of the morons franchise stepping in and out-moroning him. LOL

We're going to have our own minefield to avoid both next year and the year after.  It will be interesting to see how we navigate that.
