As noted in the story, Greenard is due $19 million in (non-guaranteed) money in 2026. For context:

Top dollar for an edge rusher in the NFL is $40 million per year (Micah Parsons).

Average of top 10 edge rushers for 2026: $27.9 million/year

we get a 2nd rounder, or we keep him...maybe we throw in a 7th....

watch this video, and you'll come away thinking; mccarthy starts, and we keep nailor...i did....

That is my guess, too

mccarthy - starts
tua - 2nd string...could play a few games - only if he's cheap
wentz - when the first two can't play

I don't mind Tua if he wasn't just like our Center..... too many concussions.

While QB is the most important position in sports, it's going to take assets, opportunity, and luck to find a QBOTF. The imaginary regime needs to determine a strategy to draft one next year or the year after even though it's still a crap shoot.

Signing any of the listed QBs is just shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic. Get in as healthy a cap situation as possible, make some smart trades for picks. Create the best offense and team possible for the new QB to step into.

Can't think of a worse way to slap Flores in the face than signing the walking concussion from Miami.

And he's not going to want to come here.

And he's not going to want to be 2nd string.

Who needs the TUA/Flores drama, in our locker room?

Hard pass…

This FA and rookie QB class is trash.

I'm rolling with JJM as QB1 and Wentz as QB2.

When playcalling moved to his strengths, he played much better. JJM played poorly, but the OL turnstile (Skule et al), a very disproportionate number of drops by WR/TE, and KOC's stubbornness with playcalling did not help.

I'd rather not waste roster spots/FA money/draft capital on dogshit QB. Let's build other areas. Like the interior OL and DL....again.....

I am sorry, no disrespect but I cant think of a worse plan than, right at this moment, intending to start the season with JJ and Wentz.

Absolute hubris by KOC … to do that to the other players on this team.

There’s a word for believing that your abject failure last season WILL be successful this season if you give it a tweak or tidying up a bit, a little qb whispering … and that word is ‘ayahuasca.’

Its a another way of saying do nothing … and putting a priority on making yourself look better than genuinely trying to fix a disaster.

If you added Darnold to Jeff’s list two years ago he probably would have fit in the bottom to middle. There just has to be a way to squeeze more out of the position than JJ on the sideline and Wentz on the sideline blubbering.

IMO

But he's saying the other QBs are trash. Certainly not needle movers. Agree with that but also the regime owes the players more.

Kinda up shit's creek w/o a paddle.

Brzez will figure it all out
