New backup QB
#22

Dalton: $10m
Brissett: $5m
Flacco: $3.5m
Bridgewater: $4.4m
Taylor: $5.5m
Mariota: $3.5m
Gabbert: $2m
Siemian: $1m

So realistically the backup market is about $3-5m with some outliers either way. Brandon Allen last year was $1.5m

I am sorta fine with just picking up a guy with one of the two 7th round picks they have. He'll make something like $800k and the savings can go towards the OL in FA. If we're being honest, if Burrow goes down the season is almost certainly over anyway regardless of who is the backup, so best to spend that $3m in savings on the OL.

That said I wouldn't hate signing Colt McCoy (who played for $1.2m last year) though, as he's probably worth the $400k more. How crazy is it that the Bengals spent more on Brandon Allen?

A lot of interesting names listed.

Most I could stomach for a backup would be around $4 mil but preferably less than that. We have enough starting holes to fill with that cap space, I wouldn’t spend tons of money for a backup QB. Fix the o line and depth everywhere else and a less talented backup will have a better shot than if we let one of the OL starters suffer to have a better backup QB just in case.

Let’s focus on protecting Burrow instead of planning to get him killed again.
