Correct. My bad.
The Pro Bowl qualifier is original ballot, not alternate...so it'll be 9 and change.
But....if they pick it up...it guarantees the 2021 season entirely and 2022 for injury.
That being the case, considering Jerry all but figures Quinn will have those two back to 2018 form....I would think a long term deal may be presented to him at some point....at hopefully a more palatable number, and the overall guarantee not much more than they would have paid him for 21 and 22 anyway.
I dont not like the player, but I've seen better players sign for less lately.
Overall, between the injury prone players, guys that can't play, and refusal to participate in UFA....its going to take years to rebuild this defense.
By then we will be debating another Dak extension.
Joy awaits.
If he’s injured in 2021 it doesn’t matter about the 2021 salary either way, he still gets paid
Just over 6 mil a year is what it costs you to have him 2 years
They have a good idea of the injury risks I suspect though there can always be any kind of injury
I don’t want to go into the draft having to use a high pick on a LB
We need to add a LB either way but if he has to be a day one starter you almost have to use a top 2-3 round pick and waiting till the 3rd is risky
I would see what Quinn can do with what we have and if jaylon doesn’t improve then I’d be more likely to move on from him after next year
Then you have this draft and two more to rebuild the LB spot
Hopefully you get a shot at a good prospect this year
I think there are good second round options in this draft. It’s just if one falls to us
