Other teams (besides the Broncos) making QB news. Giants, Commanders, Vikings, Barkley to Jags

I think Howell will settle into the Minshew career arc. High end back up, good enough to start but not good enough for a team to commit to and build around. He'll be an very solid bridge guy as teams look for their QB of the future. And he will make a ton of cash doing it.

Todd Collins,  Charlie Batch comes to mind.

 

The biggest prize winner of all was Sam Bradford before they capped money for 1st round picks.  I think he made a whopping 125M or something in those days !!!

Bradford was pretty good when he was healthy. He was just always injured

Tyrod starting makes sense. Definitely looked better as a team with him under center than DeVito. 
 

The Howell move is perplexing though. I know they haven’t been winning but aside from his horrible day against Buffalo he’s shown periods of good football.

Yeah, him and Stanford definitely were the reasoning for what we have now in the wage scale system. 
 

Back to back years… 72m for Staff then like 80m for Bradford. 
 

 

Following year they added that system for draft picks. Can’t blame them.

At the time teams didn't want the top picks due to the financial risk involved.  Basically if you blew the pick, you were setback for years.  Another advantage for New England while building their dynasty.

Pretty good is stretching it on Bradford. He had career high in tds of 21 and 20 tds. I’ve never seen an average player get traded for so much. There was nothing special about Sam except his giant freshman shoulder pads.

Duval Barbie OUT against the Panthers. Could be an upset brewing in an important one....

Seriously. Sam Bradford represented everything that's wrong with the NFL's over-infatuation with QBs.

never won anything as he jumped from team to team and collected good money.
