Now that Collins is cut we have 12m in cap space. If you read the hogshaven article about the Wentz contract restructure it frees up another 13. 25M in cap space is not bad going into FA. Plus we can rework other deals. I Like it!!!
As I've tried telling dad and others, there is plenty of space to be made. No way they were gonna keep Collins at a 16M cap hit. No way. When he refused a paycut, he got cut, saving 6-7M in space. I don't see him getting a big deal in FA, so he might be back at a lower #.
Oh, as far as the move itself. That reminds me of Gibbs 2.0 when Joe G would put extra stank on some of the trades/deals he made. Like trading for an about to be cut Mark Brunell because the Jags weren't gonna pay him a 2 mill roster bonus. Instead of waiting a week or so for him to be cut. Gibbs traded for him. Then there was the 2nd rd pk in the CP/Champ deal which was another asinine move. As Champ wanted out of DC a head up trade would've been cool. but if any team was getting extra compensation it should've been the Skins.
lol postseason they will be fighiting the Giants on who doesn't finish 4th
Not all fans here understand QBs cost money. You may have seen how people freaked when Cousin's got tagged twice. I am not saying it is Wentz but if this team is going to be any good then $28 million would be cheap for a good QB. Whether Wentz is a good QB remains to be seen.
How do you think TH's numbers look last year if he played with a RB who started all 17 games, had 332 carries, gained 1811 yards at 5.45 yards a pop and scored 18 TDs, along with 40 rec for another 360 yard, 9.0 ypc and 2 TDs. As well as with an OL that blocked for a running game that went for 2500+ yards at 5.09 ypc and 22 TDs and only allowed 32 sacks on Wentz's 516 pass att.
Let me ask you this. If Wentz won that game in Jacksonville does everyone see him differently? Do the Colts still trade him?
No, winning that game wouldn't have any effect on how Carson Wentz is or has been viewed. Second question.. yes they still trade him to the only team foolish ( spelled Desperate) enough to seriously involve themselves in such a venture. Let's not be bamboozled into thinking that these reports of other teams being interested are serious.
QB is the one position that requires the holder to be a, no scratch that, T.H.E. leader of the team. Wentz has been on two teams, and although he has physical skills that Heinecke can only dream of, he has not displayed the leadership qualities that comes with the position. For better or worse, because our team scrapped and clawed for TH even doing those extra things to help cover his inadequacies, coupled with zero evidence that neither Philadelphia or Indianapolis had any regard for Wentz's leadership abilities, I have serious questions about him being a better QB than Heinecke.
Yes they do because the owner wanted him gone for covid
Perhaps!! Matching physical stature and skills, Wentz is hands down better. So before I go on let me ask you... How much value is it to a team if their QB is a true leader that inspires others because they believe in him? How much of a detriment is it to that same team if their QB inspires no one and lacks the requisite skills to be that leader?
