Meanwhile........EJ Manuel just joined the stable of terrible former player analysts on the NFL Network. 🤢

He has to be somewhere stewing over the Geno Smith contract 😎

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Great for him. 

He kept working at his job and when opportunity presented itself, he seized the day. 

Great story. Hope he continues to play well.

EJ is almost as bad as an analyst as he was as a QB.    He has been working Saturdays for ACC Network for a few years.   Brutal.   I guess they needed someone who fit in Willie McGinnest suits.

The contract details will be interesting to see. I wonder how much of the $105M is incentive based?

[John from Riverside]

Meanwhile, we drafted EJ Manuel 😝

[without a drought]

Good for Geno and I'm sure EJ, who is a good guy, is happy for his friend.

[ngbills]

Happy to not be a QB hungry team. That is how you spend $100M for Geno. Assume there are easy outs after a year.

WVU alumni does well.  Hope he studied finance

[Malazan]

when they trade him the Broncos for like 16 first round picks.. he's gonna look like a genius. 

[Doc]

Crazy after just his first good season out of 9 in the NFL.

 

And I guess this is the starting point for Danny Dimes.

They owe him half of it in the first season: $52 million.  Could have franchised him for 32 million.

 

lol.

Good for him.  Show's incredible perseverance.  Also shows that in the correct environment with good coaching, some of these guys can prevail.  There is hope for guys like Baker Mayfield.  

Is Baker humble enough to accept a backup job? I'm not sure.

“Could earn up to $52M in the first calendar year.”

 

The word “could” tells me there are incentives included in that total. I will wait to see the details before I form my opinion.

no matter what--it's going to be more than 32 million.  I doubt any contract would include 20 million dollars in incentives in a single year....

Great for Geno but I get the feeling Pete can now draft Richardson and let him sit for a few a couple years as he needs to as he’s so raw anyway. Even Richardson said he just felt a different vibe when he talked to the Seahawks and sitting at 5 this seem like a Seahawk move. 

[Big Turk]

Happy for him...he definitely earned it.

[MJS]

Good for him. I wonder if this is premature, though.

 

Hopefully they have an out if Geno Smith turns out to be... Geno Smith.

[Chicken Boo]

I'm very happy for Geno.

 

Right now I'd take him over the Tannehills, Carrs and Garopollos of the world.

Josh 'Wrong' Rosen is aghast at all the money being thrown around.  No doubt he thinks it a mistake.

[Call_Of_Ktulu]

Good for him but I think he barely has the talent to make it to the playoffs and definitely will never win a playoff game.
