MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK

Kirk Cousins reported to Flowery Branch for the start of voluntary workouts.

Good move by him for the PR reasons. The team isn't likely to release him outright just to get stuck paying his guaranteed salary and watch him play on the cheap for some other team. If he wants out, it's going to be a trade. And that means he needs to show every other team in the league that he's all about doing the team thing, so that when someone else gets hurt that team won't hesitate to pull the trigger and grab Cousins. Showing up for the non-contact voluntary workouts is a good start.

Meanwhile, Atlanta has signed backup quarterback Easton Stick. And there was much rejoicing...

 

Capt Kirk was more of a me guy than team guy,he was a trip in Minnesota yeah he threw beautiful passes but he cost the Vikings big time never could win the Big Game and he Sucked in Prime Time Games

 

The Rams and quarterback Matthew Stafford agreed to continue their partnership for 2025 months ago.

But now, details are finally emerging of Stafford’s renegotiated contract.

According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, Stafford will earn $44 million in the coming season, with $4 million already paid and the remaining $40 million fully guaranteed.

Stafford, 37, is set to continue going year-to-year with Los Angeles. But Rapoport notes that if the quarterback is on the roster at the start of free agency in 2026, he’ll lock in another $40 million. Where Stafford was previously set to make $58 million in 2025 and 2026, he’s now set to make $84 million.

In 2024, Stafford completed 65.8 percent of his passes for 3,762 yards with 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He then completed 63.4 percent of his throws for 533 yards with four touchdowns and no picks in two postseason games.

 

I suspect Brock Purdy paid attention to this Stafford deal as he and Stafford had similar stats (Purdy completed 66 percent of his passes for 3,864 yards with 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions).

 

Yeah, to me, $40M per year seems really high for 20 TDs...

18 QBs had 20 TDs or more in the NFL in 2024. Tua had 19, but he threw 100+ less passes than the majority of the field in front of him with 20+ TDs.

At what point is an average QB paid the average wages?


Nevermind... I just looked it up, the average(16th place) salary is about $37M per year....

 

Good data, Irish. Its amazing what average will getcha these days. Its going up n up too.

 

All this guaranteed money just blows my mind

 

Lamar and Josh should be around $100M easily... just kidding, sorta. Currently, Josh is at $55M anually and Lamar is at, $52M.

 

Carr has retired.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Carr’s retirement comes with an agreement regarding his contract.

In a nutshell, he’ll give up $30 million in fully-guaranteed pay. That was his base salary for 2025, which the Saints opted to convert to a mostly-prorated payment in March.

Carr will keep a $10 million roster bonus he earned in March. Also, the Saints will not seek recovery of the remaining allocation of his $28.5 million signing bonus, which he received in 2023.

Carr could have undergone shoulder surgery, not played this year, pocketed the $30 million, and made a decision about his future at some point down the road.

This path allows him to delay shoulder surgery — perhaps indefinitely — and to avoid the process of recovery and rehab.

Even without the $30 million he had been guaranteed to make this year, the $10 million roster bonus pushes him above $200 million in career earnings.
