Don’t always agree with Nick Wright but this take is exactly how I feel about the situation

Nope, Nick is wrong here. Seattle wanted Geno back, Geno didn’t want them. Sam Darnold was the best player available at QB.

Correct but I think signing Sam is the wrong move I rather fire in the draft. Trade up if we have to.

that's interesting, but what do you think of this?

You gotta look at it as a plan B. Geno wanted to leave so the had to get the best option available which is Darnold.

Woulda liked to go for QB in the draft and sign sm1 else for even cheaper The value isn’t bad but it only makes sense if we need up the O line still hope we get a QB in the draft just in case

Why are people all of a sudden not thinking? Geno gave us what he had. He is great if you wanna be a 10 win team. I’m not saying Darnild gets you more. But you’re only tied to him for 2 years at 55mil. 27.5 per. A lot less than Geno. Build the team and find the guy if he isn’t

I think he’s wrong in that this is a bridge contract. Gives them competent QB play for 2 years at a reasonable price and 2-3 years to find their next guy in the draft without a bunch of dead money committed to the future. Not exciting but good move imo.

Fortunately Sam had multiple good games besides the Seattle one, Nick Wright is a hot take artist.

Except that this is, in a fact, a bridge contract. This is in no way a long term commitment. They would eat a little cash if they moved on next season, but not enough to truly matter.

Ya I like @getnickwright but he gave no effort on this take. He got the draft compensation wrong and also Sea offered Geno more and he declined and didn’t counter so they had to move on. It’s a cheap deal with an out by the time a rookie QB develops should they draft one.

We offered Geno 45 a year?? Nick wright is on the spectrum
