The healing doesn't begin until they admit the error and move on without him.
Your 4 year assessment might be pretty close - but the timer hasn't started yet.
SO much guaranteed money they can't move on
Have to burn the coach and/or next coach to try and make it work
It was two years of 1st and 2nd round picks, your top current QB prospect(lock), a first round TE(Fant), and a top 20 DT(Shelby Harris).
The contract is a nightmare 165 million guaranteed over the next 3 years
If they move on in 2026(wtf) he still takes up 55 million of their salary cap, will still be paying him 18.4 million of his signing bonus
If they move on in 2027(sigh) he takes up only 31,200,000 of their salary cap, still have to pay another 9 million of his signing bonus
He will be out of the league and they will still be paying him chunks of his 92 million dollar signing bonus
So pot committed it isn't even funny, Seahawks are gonna get a top 5 pick in the draft and have the spot to take the QB the broncos will be wishing they had a chance at.
QBs on rookie deals are the move now, everybody knows this.
