Guessing Monti negotiates like he interviews.

 

[SOCALCARD]

Gambo just said that he's expecting Brissett to start for 26 and Minshew to backup

Hell yes!!!!! Who wants to go halvsies on a casita with me? I will let you buy all of my beers.

 

[602 Native]

Thought you weren't going to watch.

The radio doesn’t count

 

[Crimson Warrior]

Let’s just try to support the kid as best we can.

 

[Mark22]

Why pay a guy 8 mil to be a backup on a rebuild year?

It’s 5 million plus incentives

 

[SOCALCARD]

What an effing clown show!

 

[Mark22]

Not very! Yes - he's not awesome at all. A very expensive backup with no upside.

5 million plus incentives if reached is not “very expensive” for a veteran back up.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Well done, Monti. Now when people criticize the GM in Arizona you can just say, "Aw, c'mon. Gardner Minshew isn't THAT bad."

 

[Mark22]

Let’s just try to support the kid as best we can.

Not gonna happen here.

 

[cardcrazy]

$5 million with incentives

Even 5 mil…just doesn’t make sense, why not sign a 1 mil guy? It’s obvious they’re not looking towards the postseason.
I mean are we looking to stay competitive if Brissett goes down? No!
Minshew makes 0 sense!
It’s a weak attempt to make it look like you’re getting a decent backup and appease the fans.

In case people are wondering, Minshew did not suffer an ACL at the end of last year; it was a broken leg/bone bruise and he’s allegedly fully recovered.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

And we failed to secure the target. Bushleague

I bet the snag was a chance to start.

 

[slanidrac16]

Irony. A walking Concussion, Willis and Gardner Frickin Minshew all signed before Kyler.

 

[GeorgiaCard88]

This team is pitiful- I can’t get behind the product we are selling. When we pick a QB top 5 next year- I hope we have a new GM doing it

 

[slanidrac16]

Might want to sticky this one.

When Garappolo had you on hold, I don't know what to tell ya.

Kyler isn’t available to sign, I don’t think

[SeattleCardinal]

Hopefully Monti won't be around to make the no. 1 pick after this team goes 0-17. Sheesh.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

My employee, who is a Seahawks fan, predicted this exact move a week ago in a snarky teams message.

"So cutting Kyler huh? Who are you going to get next? Minshew?"

 

[Shane]

Why pay a guy 8 mil to be a backup on a rebuild year?

Really only 5 unless he plays and can earn the incentives.

 

[Proximo]

well its pretty much confirmed they are tanking this year to grab a young qb in next years draft.

No, I don't think it is.

No new head coach is going to intentionally try to tank. Actually there are damn few coaches that would agree to do that.

 

[Proximo]

Well, I actually don't mind this if the idea is to start Jacoby for the year. I think he is better than anyone else available - except maybe Malik who we wiffed on.

 

[PDXChris]

Kedon Slovis costs a million. Thats what you get for a million.

Kyler hasn't been released yet, Tua was.
