This is pretty insane...
Four QBs — Tua Tagovailoa ($54M gtd), Kyler Murray ($36.8M gtd), Geno Smith ($18.5M gtd), and Kirk Cousins ($10M gtd) — will be released but will still be guaranteed $119.3M combined from their previous teams. https://t.co/wZUzLgxFDU

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Job 1 @ first Tua presser in Atlanta: Apologize!
Its funny that if you have a mid QB you end up being that desperate to get rid of them, and here we are that desperate to get them.
But what happens next year? How much are we paying Kyler after the house money runs out?

Either way they'll be paying a QB.
A little sooner if Murray blows up here vs McCarthy at year 5.
So probably just a year apart?
We're all putting the cart way b4 the horse lol! But good interim discussion

It depends totally on what his performance is this season...assuming that we do sign him.
Like I said a few days ago, I'd like to see a one-year prove-it deal with a team-option one more year.
That gives us flexibility to keep him or move on and let JJM take the reins if that happens.
However, if he takes us to the promised land, he deserves to get paid.
Boy, this is assuming an awful lot, isn't it?

I don't really know the rules, but I don't think we can do that this year. I think if we sign him to a multi year deal the whole thing offsets, not just the first year and you lose the benefit of the offset.
Maybe, there's some way to play the first couple games and then do an extension?
Like no one saw this coming....
Overpaying quarterbacks to try and push the market higher when the talent and ability isn't there.... This is what happens.
Unsure how this is gonna change in the years ahead, but something is off.
