What on Earth has he done to justify that amount of money?

He's available...and it's the Jets.

[Bills!Win!]

Are they trying to match our drought streak?

The Chad Pennington that won CPOY twice becuase he needed science to build him a new shoulder?

Yup.  That's the one.

Last time they made it was 2010 so they are doing a pretty good job in challenging the streak.

Now they just need to sign Russ and lean on the defense, it’s a proven method to get them nowhere but lower in the draft next year but it’s better than aaaaaaron

There's no way they gift him the job uncontested

He has to beat out Tyrod Taylor.

I was going to say it made sense: pick up another journeyman, draft a rookie and hold an open competition

 

And then I saw the guaranteed money.

That's barely backup QB money.

 

No QB who is an actual backup is getting close to that.  Minshew is behind Fields in average salary now-- and he's getting only 62% of Fields's salary.

The worry with Fields is whether he is just too good to stop you being in position to draft one in the top 5 next year?

 

that should not be a worry

I predict Justin Fields will be Josh Allen's backup on the Bills in 2 years.

The NFL needs to move the 2026 draft to NYC ... With the Jests and Giants potentially picking #1 and #2, what better place to be.

Darnold to Seattle too. 

 

Former Vikings QB Sam Darnold reached agreement today on a three-year, $110.5 million contract including $55 million guaranteed with the Seattle Seahawks

 

I hesitate making a separate thread for every signing. I get Fields is relevant because its in the division.

 

Yeah, there probably should have been just one thread to track non-Bllls FA moves and trades, but at the same time, it would be hard to announce major acquisitions unless someone updated the first post immediately as it happened, which is not possible realistically (unless you were @YoloinOhio in the olden days). 

 

You were in a tough spot, but I would have given Darnold his own thread l, but I would have also really hesitated too.

There goes the FA QBs.  There will be a QB run this draft, because there are so few.  Jackson Dart will go in the first, and possibly 4 QBs

I like Fields more than most. I don't think he is great, but he wasn't the problem in Chicago and probably should have been the starter in Pittsburgh at the end of the season. 

That said, I  don't think he is a good fit for the Jets and the Jets are a really bad fit for him. He needs a much more steady and stable org.
