I like having him as the backup but it's not like we can get anything for him down the line this is likely a 1 year pitstop for him, so if you can get good value for him I'm not sure you can say no.

Actually, indirectly, we might well get something for him.  If we lose more FAs than we sign, we're entitled to compensatory picks.  How much do you think a starting QB who signs for $10m+/yr is worth in that formula?

... but we then won't have a credible back up. Fromm and Webb can't play.

 

I assume we will sign someone if that trade actually happens. But I am not one to worry about the backup QB. The way this offense is playing we are not winning games if Allen goes down whether Trubisky or Webb replaces him. I would trade any backup QB for a 2nd rounder, no hesitation.

I think that might land you a third rounder. He could well get paid this offseason given the weak draft.

If true hard to turn that down. We picked him up for nothing. I don't understand why Washington would do it though. Isn't Fitz back soon?

 

Why would WE do that?  Does nothing for us this year, in fact takes away our QB insurance during a possible SB run. 

 

I get the idea of sacrificing Trubiski at the altar of "sustainable success", but you have to win 1 before you can win 2 or 3.

Trubisky can definitely get you to 2-2 in a four week injury window. Fromm gets you to potentially 0-4. He can't throw. There's a reason why teams prioritize credible backup qbs. Also, there is no one left to sign.

Not the slightest bit funny.  And used upthread several times.  And lame, and annoying.

Thin skin aye, 🤣
