Deadline quarterback rumor passes the smell test

RumorMillRay Junior Member #1 · Original post · Fri, 04 September 2026 15:13 Deadline quarterback rumor passes the smell test A backup quarterback with starting experience is connected to two teams after injuries. The selling club has a rookie it wants to elevate, so the roster logic works. The problem is compensation: people are floating a fourth-round pick, which seems high for someone entering the final contract year. My guess is a conditional sixth that becomes a fifth with playoff snaps. That is speculation, not reporting. Would you pay it? 4 👍 10 🔥 7 💯 4 Reply Quote ShareCopied!

CounterPoint Junior Member #5 · Reply · Fri, 04 September 2026 15:13 Why accept a sixth when keeping credible insurance helps the rookie? The price includes the seller's inconvenience. 4 👍 13 🔥 4 💯 5 Reply Quote ShareCopied!
