Sunday game thread.

But I'm not sure many are going to look at Wentz as a better option. The ones I potentially see:
New England, Denver, Atlanta, Indy, Carolina, New Orleans, Chicago, Detroit.

New England: IMO, this one makes sense.
Denver: Depends on if they want to give up on Drew Lock already. IMO, this one is also a fit.
Atlanta: If they are ready to move on from Matt Ryan, they could. He's 35 and it might be time. Would probably also be good for Ryan if he wants a change in scenery.
Indy: If Rivers was just a one year solution, they might consider it. Personally, I'd keep Rivers if I were them. And if they don't I don't see Wentz as such an upgrade over Brissett that I would spend much capitol.
Carolina: don't see them going away from Bridgewater yet.
New Orleans: This one is an interesting thought, but they Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston in house already if Brees retires.
Chicago: The fact the NFC is so bad this year and that the Bears are probably going to make the playoffs means he's probably going to be back.
Detroit: Another Ryan like situation, but he's 32 and Ryan is 35. Personally, I think if you are going to look to replace Stafford, you do so but drafting a guy who could eventually take the spot -- but I don't see Stafford in any other uniform but Detriot next year.

My opinion of the three most likely landing spots would be New England, Denver, and Atlanta.

Cutting Wentz's conventionally next year is impossible. The Eagles would have $59,220,611 in dead money, a cap charge for a player no longer on the roster, by releasing Wentz before $15 million of his injury guaranteed $22 million 2022 base salary becomes fully guaranteed on the third day of the 2021 league year (March 19).


A Wentz trade would provide the Eagles minimal cap relief because Wentz would need to be dealt before his $10 million roster bonus is due next March 19. After this date, the $10 million would be a Philadelphia financial expenditure and cap charge with a trade. Philadelphia's cap charge or dead money would consist of the $33,820,611 of bonus proration left in Wentz's contract.

There probably wouldn't be many suitors because of Wentz's regression and the acquiring team would need $25.4 million of cap room to absorb his 2021 salary, which would no longer be a Philadelphia obligation. If next year's salary cap is at or near the $175 million floor, only a limited number of teams will have the necessary cap space anyway.

Agent's Take: Are Carson Wentz's Eagles days numbered? A closer examination of his contract tells the story

Philadelphia has found themselves in quite the conundrum at the QB position

Based on the above the only team that could afford him would be New England with their projected $100 million in cap space.

What a disaster for Philadelphia.

God i cant stand watching the cowboys and eagles. Could care less about either of these teams. Just the only game on where I'm at! Lol

I can’t recommend the Red Zone Channel enough. No commercials and constantly just shows action.

 

[Miami 13]

I think Haskins is the worst QB in the league.

 

[eMCee85]

Lol... imagine hearing this... Hurts to Ertz. Hahahaahha

 

[Geordie]

If WASH lose, guaranteed that NFCE winners will have a losing record, shocking really. No wonder the AFCN has 3 potential teams going to the playoffs, matched up against that division.

 

[Fred Bear]

Hopefully we didn't catch corona in Las Vegas and we will be healthy. All though you never know what's gonna happen to any team now days

What a disaster for Philadelphia.

The Eagles created the problem along with their other roster needs and it's why Rosen is on the hot seat.

Carson has the upper hand here even though they can fine him for not showing. Eagles are going to get it financially without lube any way you look at it so they need to rip the band aid off early at the start of the year before FA and the draft and start moving forward with Hurts and the cap hit/money pay out our else it's going to be an issue all offseason and next year

 

[thenewloon]

We are currently 7-4 in conference. Ravens are 6-5. We lose next week and they win we both finish 7-5. They win the next tie breaker over us.

Can't be strength of schedule...we've only lost to playoff teams plus the Pats...Seahawks Bills I guess Denver could be a problem

Bills are irrelevant...division over...we want every 10-4 team to lose...Ravens lose and Texans lose

Well everything happened but Ravens losing...7th seed to 5th

 

[mrhankey81701]

Dalton once again proving he's the best QB in NFL history

 

[GBpackers10]

Jets beat Cleveland. What a shocker!

 

[Schleprock]

They aren't going to do it because they don't have the guts, but best option for Dallas is to sign and trade Dak or let him walk. Roll with Dalton a few years and use the draft picks and money more wisely

 

[PFC]

Carolina could have put this away, but instead we may have a game now..

Ugh. So the only realistic possibility would be for the Patriots to trade for him AND be given draft pick incentives to do so -- kind of like when when Cleveland traded for Brock Osweiler and a second and sixth round pick for a fourth round pick.

 

[Joe Dolfan]

I can’t recommend the Red Zone Channel enough. No commercials and constantly just shows action.

It's my go-to if there's no game that I really care about, like now.

 

[TraderJoe]

Carolina could have put this away, but instead we may have a game now.

I figure no matter where Carolina lands they are picking a QB. It’s Atlanta I really would like to get in front of for our choice of Chase, Rosseseau, Parsons or trade scenario but either way we are in great shape.

Yeah, you and I have the same thinking and it made my stomach turn as well.
