QCity

His salary would be paid by the new team unless there are some added stipulations. The amounts left on his prorated signing bonus ($2.8M) and his option bonus ($3M) would be immediately realized for a 2018 dead cap hit of $5.8M. However, it's still less than his current 2018 cap hit of $10.4M, so it would actually free up about ~$4.5M this year and have no future impact on the team. The Giants just did this with JPP, and they took a massive $15M dead cap hit this year but actually gained a few million in cap space. They did it to free up space for the future, presumably to deal with the looming OBJ contract. It really wouldn't make any sense for the Giants to take that hit and then take on Hughes salary.

Not the craziest thing I've heard today. He's got a $10M cap hit and can disappear for months during the season.

Yes. The $2.5B valuation is pretty much spot-on, as was the $1.3B price for the Bills.

My money's on salvia.

Nailed that pick.

The big question is if Murhpy's breakout 9-sack year was the product of PED use or not. Even if it was, they left themselves an out after one year with minimal future damage, which makes the contract reasonable.

So a "hit" at the QB position is weighed the same as a "hit" that's a kicker? You've put in a lot of work here but I'm afraid it means very little. Any analysis that ranks Russ Brandon over Bill Polian is likely flawed.

And then it got shut down.

They beat the Jaguars and Browns by 3 points. If they lose those two games they get the 3rd pick. All that draft capital lost for two meaningless wins against the Jags and Browns. I'm not advocating a tank, I just found this amusing.

If you're Gettleman, you have be aware that this is probably the best chance you're going to get to draft a QB during your tenure. He's not going to get a better shot than this. If they're drafting top 5 again in 2020 he's probably out of a job, and Eli isn't exactly a spring chicken. Grooming a young QB under Manning is a pretty nice setup as well. He's in a very nice situation here.

Seriously. Overt trolling should result in a vacation.

In terms of getting one the first 3 QBs off the board? Yes.

I wouldn't call it a great target, but it is a realistic target.

I wouldn't say Beane got bushwacked, I'm saying the Jets didn't make a mistake (at least not yet). They have had a QB problem for years just like us, and as of today they are now in a better position to address it. They may very well whiff on QB, but the right move for them is taking a swing.

Beane was still working for Carolina when Mahomes was drafted.

Mistake? I doubt many here would be calling it a mistake if we moved up to #3. They sure did an incredible job of screwing us over for a mistake. Here's the triple whammy: 1) They eliminated a trade partner in the top 5 2) Set a ridiculous price for #2, if it's even available 3) Are bringing a top prospect at QB into the division

One less thing to worry about now, right?

I'm surprised we haven't heard from Jimmy Spags yet.

If you had a crush on Darnold, Rosen, or Mayfield, it's time to start grief counseling.

You can throw the draft charts out when it comes to QB's at the very top of the 1st round.

If the Giants really like one of the QBs and are intent to bring in Manning's successor to learn under him, there simply won't be any trades up to #2.

Not good.

He did a great job playing coy with the Tyrod situation, even fooled a lot of fans. i don't think anyone is buying this, though.

"Bold" is not the correct adjective here Tim.

When you have a defense that can't get off the field, it's easy to rack up tackles. Are Preston Brown and Joe Schobert the best inside LB's in the game? Of course not.
