Josh McCown's Value With backup quarterback Kellen Moore breaking his leg, the Dallas Cowboys are in need of a replacement. Starter Tony Romo is injury prone and hasn't started a full season since 2012 and injured his collarbone twice last year. Recently, brief trade talks have occurred between Dallas and the Cleveland Browns surrounding Josh McCown. So the question is brought up, what is McCown's trade value? If the Browns truly want to keep the veteran quarterback on their roster then their asking price should be high. They have the leverage and the Cowboys are the team with the position to fill. If their desperate enough, they might surrender a conditional fourth round pick that could be a third rounder based on McCown's performance.
He just signed a $70 million contract with the Cowboys, and I know he's ready to prove he is worth every cent. The wide receiver is entering his sixth year in the league, and his career numbers so far are on-pace with the other WR greats in the NFL. Bryant has recorded 381 receptions for 5,424 yards, and he has an impressive 56 touchdowns.
The Eagles traded up to grab the guy they wanted and think can be their franchise Quarterback in Carson Wentz this whole draft lives and dies with Carson Wentz and his ability to be a franchise Quarterback in the NFL. Carson Wentz is big Quarterback at 6’5 237 with strong arm strength, Toughness competiveness and knowledge of the game.
The Browns get their quarterback of the future, who can sit behind Tyrod Taylor and avoid the pressure of being the franchise savior.
With minicamp starting up, there are a lot of storylines that a lot of people are looking forward to seeing leading up to the regular season. One storyline that is getting a lot of attention is the quarterback battle going on between Cody Kessler, Brock Osweiler and Deshone Kizer who are all fighting to be named the starting quarterback week 1 for the Cleveland Browns. All of these guys have a lot of upsides and have a case of why they should be named the week 1 starter at quarterback but after all the dust is settled, who should come out on top of this quarterback battle and start week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers? Drafted by the team in the third round 96th overall, Cody Kessler had a lot of upside coming out of the Univerity Of Southern
In August 2012, Houston and Brown negotiated a $53.4 million contract extension for 6 years, with a total of $22.08 million guaranteed. The contract kicked in at the end of the 2012 season. During the 2012 season, Brown was named as a first team selection for the 2012 All-Pro Team and was named to play in the 2013 Pro Bowl. In the 2013 season, Brown was again voted to
Despite being a perianal playoff contender, the team has a need at the wide receiver position. New England has lacked a legitimate deep threat since losing Randy Moss during the 2010 season. Imagine inserting Thomas into an offense that already has Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman. Thomas would most almost always be matched up against single coverage. With his speed, size, and acceleration Thomas would thrive in this situation. Playing in New England would not only benefit him, but it would also provide the organization with a number one receiver for the next decade. As I mentioned earlier since losing Moss, the teams go-to, deep threat receiver has looked like a revolving door. The team has often brought in a new face every season to take on this role. Thomas would bring the team stability at this
The Florida native has complete faith in Josh McCown. Bowe has been quoted saying that McCown has “all the potential of being a top five quarterback in the NFL.” “He’s making great throws, smart throws and he’s mobile in the pocket, more than people think.”
The career of Ben Roethlisberger 35, has been a journey to say the least. He entered the league out of Miami, OH as the eleventh pick in the 2004 NFL draft. He was not lauded like the two quarterbacks drafted before him. Eli Manning 36, who was drafted with the first overall pick by the San Diego Chargers, but traded to the New York Giants. The Giants who have won two super bowls with Manning one in 2008 and the other in 2012 won’t complain at all for the small amount they had to trade to acquire Manning. They traded Phillip Rivers 35, who was drafted with the fourth overall pick that same year, a third-round pick in 2004 which turned into Nate Kaeding, a 2005 first rounded pick which turned into Shawne Merriman, and a 2005 fifth round pick
Surprisingly, it was the Mavericks that met the injured players monetary demands and agreed to a four year, $70 million contract in July. This is a risky move for a player that just suffered such a serious injury, but the Maverick's feel that Matthew's upside and history of toughness makes the deal worth the risk.
They brought in an entirely new coaching staff, and they allocated more than $30 million for a free-agent receiver in Robert Woods. Austin was given a four-year, $42 million extension weeks before the start of the 2016 season. But there is only $5 million in dead money tied to his contract after this year, which means they can easily part ways with Austin if he doesn’t fit McVay’s scheme.Austin is the second-highest paid player on the roster for the 2017 season and is a lofty $14.9 million cap hit. However, his cap number drops to just $8 million after this year. That’s the same amount Robert Woods will make in 2018.For comparison, the Rams will certainly not waive their wideout this season. It would cost $19.9 million to cut him in 2017.
Before him there were others. Brady Quinn, Tim Couch, Luke McCown, Charlie Frye, Colt McCoy, Brandon Weeden--you have heard of at least some them. The Browns drafted them, thinking one might finally be the franchise quarterback, the one to lead the team back to the glory days it had in the early 1960's, when it last won an NFL championship. Some had pretty impressive credentials. Tim Couch was chosen number one in the entire draft and had been the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy. The Browns drafted McCown the year the team could have picked Ben Roethlisberger, who has led the Pittsburgh Steelers to multiple Super Bowl appearances and victories. He only
It would be foolish for the Eagles to even consider getting rid of Blount, based off his preseason struggles.
Who will McCown throw the ball too? So, stop me if you have heard of any of these guys, Robby Anderson, Charone Peake, Jalin Marshall or Chris Harper. No, well, not may have. Maybe this summer, you got to know about Anderson, who is expected to be the number 1 receiver, but other than that, the Jets have a no named receiver core. Expect for at tight end, where Austin Seferian-Jenkins is supposed to be the starter. McCown is also expected to have Matt Forte in his back field, unless he is traded or released as per rumors on 8/29.
Some are considering this as a bluff as Carr was not happy with some of the calls thrown his way during the divisional round. At the age of 30, Brandon Carr continued to have another productive season with the Dallas Cowboys. Carr finished the season with 53
Through his first three seasons as the Quarterback for the Chicago Bears, he averaged a horrible 1.29 TD/Int ratio. Yet, the Bears decided to make him the highest paid Quarterback at the time. “It's a big chunk of money to commit to an oft-criticized player like Cutler” (SbNation). Mike Sando, a reporter for ESPN Chicago ranked Cutler’s contract last in the NFL. Said Sando, “Coaches brought in to help Cutler keep getting fired. Meanwhile, Cutler keeps cashing fat checks. Although the true guarantees in his deal were reasonable on paper, the Bears became accountable for another $25 million after Cutler remained on the roster long enough for injury-only guarantees to become fully guaranteed” (Forbes). Cutler’s criticism not only came with his poor play, but with his contract he was awarded
