Yeah, but it’s gonna be funny seeing a team take a chance on him with how this QB class might as well read “Mendoza than everyone else”.

He’s definitely not a First Rounder, but with how hyped Gruden looked (granted Gruden always looks hyped when he’s talking Football) you know there’s probably a team that doesn’t have a franchise QB thinking about it.

He's not any kind of rounder. He's a camp body and a temporary curiosity, before he gets cut after the final preseason game and goes to play in Canada or the UFL.
 
Chris Chan if he were a football player born 20 years later

A second tattoo has hit the towers at least with a better looking Knuckles

Honestly I think he'd be lucky to get in as a UDFA considering his personality issues. Wouldn't want some weird social media shit going on in camp. He's a worse prospect than Tua's brother IMO.

Makes sense - Houston’s Defence was what carried them all year, if anyones on a deal thats coming up you lock them down now before the market explodes.

And then hope the Draft can help the offence…

He was the easiest of the two first rounders they have from that class to make an extension decision on, for sure.

What they do with Stroud is gigantic question mark. He had a great rookie year. He was serviceable but never reached the same heights again the next two years. The line is still a problem, but it's also how he plays. This is a defense in win now mode. This offense needs work, but he's letting them down more than they're letting him down.

Does Caserio leverage Stroud's inconsistency into a team-friendly, flexible contract because his market is comparatively cheap? Could risk pissing him off and making a hold out loom over the front office's head should he take a step forward this year. Could make his demands even more egregious if he proves himself.

Or does he tell Stroud it's put up or shut up time next season, we'll revisit extending you then? Pans out if Stroud proves to be that guy, then an extension is a no brainer and you find a way to make the money work. Pans out if he continues to decline, you can probably chalk it up to his rookie year catching teams off guard before they learned his game and move on. But what if he's just more of the same? What if he's thoroughly mid, or inconsistent to the point of it averaging out as mid? What if you're in a Kyler Murray situation?

Im sure they went to one of those high end tatoo places that puts you under and has a team of tattoo artists knock it out in an afternoon.

After what the Dolphins went through with Tua, this is absolutely what you do. And I dont see Stroud coming back. His confidence is shot now that teams have tape on him and he has shown he doesnt have the skills to adjust. Wonderlic is undefeated.

One of the things that makes this really difficult is next years QB market has the potential to be a shit show of apocalyptic levels never seen before. Not only are Stroud and Bryce Young going to be looking for extensions, but the entire 2024 QB class will also be looking for extensions as well. On top of a lot of older guys as well like Lamar and Darnold. Along with other QBs who are playing on one year deals this year like Tua, Murray and Daniel Jones.

Everyone is talking about the impending MLB lockout at the end of the year, no one is prepared however for the collision course we are about to witness with QB contracts.

Given the dead cap space the Cards and Dolphins have been left holding, you're probably safer with a market-value bridge QB + looking to the draft for a new guy for the future. There's no way they can afford a franchise QB salary for mid performance.

Miami's kinda fucked with trying to sign anyone considering Grier set up 2026 to be the tank/rebuild year, then cutting Tua made their situation even worse. 60% of their cap is dead cap which is crazy numbers, even Loomis never even hit that.

On one hand, I love this move. On the other hand, my excuse to drink and eat bad food on Thursday is now gone.
 
Has anyone run an investigation on the Pegulas to see if the fact they got involved with the Bills is why the Sabers went a full 180 in quality this year?

I know "haha bengals cheap" is a funny meme and all but they were just top 10
in free agent spending and spent The 3rd most per contract in the league. They also gave him a 30 million dollar extension so I think he'll be all right.
 
I am little bummed about the Lawrence trade. I really wanted him to be part of the face of our return to glory.

At the same time, he is older now and we probably have gotten all that we could out of him as a player. He also just generally seemed to want out of New York. I hope they are at least going to do something smart with the pick we received for him.

From someone who has been burned by hype in the past, i recommend not going past cautious optimism until after a certain point in the season to wait to see what the team plays like and stats come in
