They aggressively traded up for him.
Yeah - there's a universe where they stay put in 21 and take Parsons. Then use that '22 1st and 3rd to trade up as we did for McDuffie, and then their 23 pick on Sam LaPorta.
It's impossible to overstate how disastrous that trade was for them. [Reply]

Yea, they thought they were a QB away and chose wrong. [Reply]

They have to ride this out for one and probably two more seasons with Purdy. I mean it's not going to work, but the way they've built their roster and their cap pretty much gives them no alternative.
Cap can always be manipulated. Saints have been doing it for years. His pal Sean McVay did it 2 years ago to make Stafford fit in. They can do some Frank Clark type shit that we did to move money around. Kittle is a great example. Restructure and move that money back to 2026. Same with others.
They'll be good and well fucked for a few years after like the Rams have been, but Kyle isn't getting that much time left with this core.
He's in the conference with no all star QB's except maybe (potentially) Jordan Love. Kirk is a FA and he's wanted him for years.
Time for him to put all those chips on the table [Reply]

29. LA Chargers, $44M OVER
28. Denver, $25.7M OVER
…
17. KC, $22.6M UNDER
Considering the salary of Mahomes and Thuney, that is just amazing. [Reply]
