Jets did Sam a favor. Hopefully he can resurrect his career in Carolina. He'll be reunited with his buddy Robbie Anderson.


Wonder what this means for Bridgewater?

Probably done with him. Or QB battle here we come. What's the money like for both these guys?

The Jets failed Sam Darnold. They did the complete opposite of everything that you should do when you draft a QB. Terrible coaching, terrible offensive line, terrible weapons, the one good weapon he had they let go over a few million dollars. In a better situation he could have succeeded, and he still might with a fresh start.

Still all that is the past, and its the right decision because:
-The Jets blew the cost controlled years of Sam's contract and they get another chance to take advantage of Wilson's
-Sam got worse in year 3 not better
-Sam has missed time every year
-Just way too many unknowns to pass on a qb worthy of the #2 pick

Glad the Steelers didn't go after him imho. I'd take the picks.

I give Sam credit for the professional way he handled this mess. You never heard him bitch and wine to the media (although I'm sure he was seething inside).

[ehh]

Darnold had no chance to succeed due to his situation but people who haven't watched him closely make too many excuses for him. He's a terrible QB in his own right--he's turnover prone, poor at pre-snap reads, poor pocket presence, loses his poise easily, slow to process information, and doesn't see the field well. He's the classic trap QB who has natural talent and makes a few mind-blowing plays and tricks you into thinking he can be the guy.

I hope he crushes it in Carolina but I have my doubts. Hopefully he can thrive dumping it off to Cafe and on play-action.

Teddy has a $20M cap number this year, Darnold is like $4.8M or something. Next year Darnold goes up to $18M, but Teddy can be cut with a minimal dead cap hit after this season.

My guess is they try to trade Teddy, but if they can't, they'll keep him as the backup. Will Grier has never been a real option so he's surely going to get cut, and PJ Walker can be the emergency QB.
