MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK

They can pretty easily make the cap room. I can’t remember the details, but I watched a podcast the other day and they broke it down. If they don’t trade for him, it won’t be because of cap space. I have a feeling the Falcons are going to want too much back in draft capital.

 

Reports that I read last night are that the Browns are shifting towards Joe Flacco.... The news feed is so boring between the end of the first week of free agency and two weeks before the draft...

But, it is QB news, so I guess it's relevant for this thread.

 

Perfectly relevant. Flacco back in Cleveland makes all the sense in the world. IMO, It would be optimal.

 

Source: Raiders, QB Geno Smith reach two-year, $75M extension

HENDERSON, Nev. -- The Las Vegas Raiders and new quarterback Geno Smith have agreed to a two-year, $75 million extension, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The contract has incentives that could push the total to $85.5 million and includes $66.5 million in guaranteed money, the source said.

Smith, 34, is now contractually tied to Las Vegas through the 2027 season. He had one year and $31 million left on the $75 million contract he signed with the Seattle Seahawks in 2023.

Quarterback Trey Lance reached agreement on a one-year deal worth up to $6.2 million with the Los Angeles Chargers, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday.

Lance and Taylor Heinicke are now the backups behind Chargers starter Justin Herbert.

I thought Trey Lance was CFL bound

 

Has the UFL ever haď a packed house?

 

Joe Flacco is heading back to Cleveland.

Flacco’s agent Joe Linta told ESPN that the quarterback has agreed to a one-year deal with the Browns. It is a $4 million deal for Flacco, although he can make up to $13 million through incentives that are included in the deal.

Flacco signed with the Browns during the 2023 season and was named the NFL’s comeback player of the year after winning four of five starts to guide the team into the playoffs. Flacco moved on to the Colts last year, but did not enjoy the same kind of success when he was elevated to the starting lineup in place of Anthony Richardson.

The Browns also have Kenny Pickett on hand while Deshaun Watson recovers from a torn Achilles and they’ve been mentioned as a potential draft destination for a quarterback. Flacco’s arrival probably doesn’t rule that out, but it doesn’t appear to be the direction the team is planning to take with the second overall selection.

Perfect move.

 

Makes a better chance of the Saints drafting Sanders and could it be Aaron Rodgers to the rescue, if its serious and season threatening?

 

Wasn't expecting much out of the Saints this year anyway. At least Sanders could make it interesting. Don't even bring up Rodgers!!!!!
