Brissett Signed To New Deal!

[Chopper0080]

Believe me I want the dude to be our guy it’s just he’s 25 so he doesn’t get this long drawn out growth curve.

I imagine his window of opportunity will be this season and he will need to show a lot to prevent them from taking a QB next year.

 

[Chopper0080]

OTC has Cousins ranked at 22nd in the NFL behind Mendoza and Cam Ward @11.3 mil. Brissett at 15 would be 20th ahead of those 2 and between Rodgers an Cousins as vet starters unless I am missing someone.

From Kyler Murray to Arch Manning.

Hmmm…

From Kyler Murray to Arch Manning.

Hmmm…

We have to be worse than the Jets, Dolphins and Browns.

 

[Chopper0080]

From Kyler Murray to Arch Manning.

Hmmm…

Let's not bury the lede (thanks K9) that Arch will need to be a lot better than he was last year to justify being a #1 draft pick.

EDIT per BIM notis via K9

Let's not bury the lead that Arch will need to be a lot better than he was last year to justify being a #1 draft pick.

And if he is he won’t be coming here unless they make Eli President of football operations.

Hell we will see if any QB comes here if we hold #1.

Trinidad Chambliss might go before him

 

[MadCardDisease]

Let's not bury the lead that Arch will need to be a lot better than he was last year to justify being a #1 draft pick.

Or the fact that Arch might just stay in school for his last season like his Uncles and Grandfather all did.

Jacoby had more first down rushes than James Conner and Trey Benson combined last season.

people mad and just making things up.

JB will get 95% of the practice reps after camp, looks like the starting QB. He showed up ready to go. No problem saying that as he proved he's the QB that the team thinks is by far the best on the roster. Hopefully the offense will be fun to watch.

Didn't Cousins sign some crazy 5 year contract that in the long run is essentially a 1 year $20M fully guaranteed contract because there is no way the Raiders pick up the 2 year $80M option after this season.

Maybe...I was just taking OTC at it's rank.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Maybe...I was just taking OTC at it's rank.

yeah if I recall the Raiders and Falcons used some loophole to get the deal done where the Falcons are essentially paying half of Cousins salary and Cousins is essentially guaranteed $20M in the long run this season. So your initial statement about Brissett being the lowest paid starter that isn't a rookie would be technically correct.

 

[THESMEL]

Sure he would start over ________ for ________ team?

 

[MadCardDisease]

yeah if you look at the OTC history for Cousins you see a mysterious $10M "Cash Paid" charge for 2026 on the Falcons side. So not only are they paying $22.5M in dead money they are also paying $10M of his 2026 salary technically.

Do people honestly think Arch will come here if we have the #1 pick and he's in the draft?

 

[TRW]

My feeling was to just trade him or, if that was not possible, cut him. BUT, now that the decision has been made, he is being paid pretty much where he ranks as a starting QB. My guess is the coaches got in MB's ear and told him the Stache and the Rook were not who they wanted to go to war with. JB is pick of the litter.

However it went it's done and it's time to move on to the next travesty.

I thought chop was right. Learned something new again today, thanks. Between this forum and the history channel, schooling let me down.

“Bury the Lede” vs. “Bury the Lead”​

Both “bury the lede” and “bury the lead” are acceptable spellings of this phrase. However, “lede” is the journalistic spelling that originated in newsrooms in the mid-20th century. It was created to avoid confusion with “lead,” the metal traditionally used in printing presses. Even though digital printing has largely replaced physical printing, “lede” continues to be used in journalism today. In 2008, it was even added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary.

Which One Should You Use?​

Whether to use “lede” or “lead” depends on your audience and context. If you’re writing for a news publication or using the term in a journalistic context, “lede” is the preferred spelling. However, if you’re writing for a general audience or not referring specifically to journalism, either spelling is acceptable.


Never knew the story behind this until I just looked it up.

 

[BulldogCard]

I think I heard Stafford had 1 yard rushing last year.

True. Arm talent is so huge and Stafford, JB have lots of it. Hopefully JB and this offense will be fun to watch. JB has a whole camp, and practice at the HQ before the season, and has good size, arm. Those are real pluses to build on from a decent 2025-26 season.

 

[GatorAZ]

And if he is he won’t be coming here unless they make Eli President of football operations.

Hell we will see if any QB comes here if we hold #1.

Oh really. Would he prefer the Browns or Jets?
