Carrying that cap hit is going to be a struggle.

They shouldn't have given him that extension a couple of years back. I think they're going to reset for 2023.

Well at least one person is happy about the moves today.

Language warning...

$28 million, with $3 million guaranteed.

Weird how Winston and Mariota were the #1 and #2 QBs taken in their draft. Now they wind up facing each other in the division.

Man, this day just keeps gettin' better and better. Re-sign Winston, Ryan's a Colt, now this! It's almost Christmas!

 

[treeduck]

Stealth tanking?

 

[reason2believe]

Winston already had his shot and contrary to what everyone around here thinks, he wasn’t very good. He was entirely carried by the defense and AK. Mariota hasn’t been given a second shot At all and was behind an entrenched starter since he left the Titans.

Huh?

 

[los226]

DA’s defense tends to have issues against running QB’s.

The last time that Mariota played the Saints was back in 2015 two weeks before Rob Ryan got fired and Dennis Allen took over. Mariota had a hell of a day 29/39 471yds with 4TD/0INT.

Atlanta is about to get scary.

He passes your eye test, I'm sure.

He went in

Serves them right. If not for them getting involved knowing they shouldn't/couldn't, the Browns don't have time to get desperate and we'd maybe gotten DW.

Epitome of a bridge QB. I would expect Atlanta to draft a QB.

Winston signed for 2 years also, you think the Saints wont be looking at a QB in the draft either?

Man that guy slinging the hell out of that chair has me rolling.

Mariota is not an NFL starter caliber QB. He can barely get past his first read.
