Friday Mailbag: Another QB enters the mix
The Vikings added Carson Wentz and fans have questions
By Matthew Coller
Happy Friday, everyone! Let’s see what is on your minds…
Dermo Man…Thanks for all the great content. A couple of questions.
1. You mentioned the other day about the Vikings giving up too early on prospects. Are we seeing the same thing with JJM, there’s talk he’s QB3 now Wentz is back.
2. Would you trade Greenard to Eagles for AJ Brown ?
Thanks for following along, Dermo Man.
1 — Yes and no. Generally speaking, I believe that JJ McCarthy has the potential to become a good starting quarterback someday but the Vikings don’t have the time to find out if someday will ever come. That is definitely similar to your Akayleb Evans’ and Esezi Otomewos of the world. They wanted guys who were ready right now and could win them games immediately, not wait around and see if they could eventually become quality role players.
Where it’s different is that you can put a CB or DT into a depth spot and work with them over a couple years and see where it goes. The fate of Kevin O’Connell’s career does not rest on whether you have Evans or Fabian Moreau as CB5. It does depend on whether McCarthy could come in and play like the 12th best quarterback in the NFL.
The other thing is, we see CBs and DTs develop into quality role players over two or three years all the time. We can all name them from recent Vikings history. You don’t see quarterbacks who were not No. 1 overall picks often come back from performances like this. Usually there are very early indicators on whether they can make it.
Everyone loves that Josh Allen example but by Year 2, Allen won 10 games, threw 20 TD to 9 INT, had five game-winning drives and ran for 510 yards and nine TDs. It was a rocky season but there was reason to believe he could win as their QB. Look at all the other top QBs. How many weren’t showing signs of being a franchise guy by Year 2? Guys like Mahomes, Jackson, Maye, Williams, Purdy, Prescott, Burrow, Lawrence, Herbert, Hurts, Murray, Goff, Nix, Mayfield… they all showed something by Year 2.
Every move is about making a bet. If they bet on McCarthy for 2026, they’d be placing their wager on him being a complete outlier. You just can’t do that.
2 — I would not trade Greenard for AJ Brown. He’s expensive and I wouldn’t want the personality mix with Justin Jefferson when he already struggled with the ups and downs inside of a Super Bowl winning locker room. If I’m trading Greenard, I want draft capital.
Robert S…A longish quote from Seth Walder at ESPN, but I don’t want to pull his top line observation about Kyler last year out of context. Can you comment based on your film study?
“Murray played poorly relative to the previous six seasons of his career in those five games, with a 47.2 QBR and a minus-1% completion percentage over expected. His air yards per attempt were down (from 6.7 to 5.8), but there were also some circumstances that raised the difficulty level. The Cardinals had the second-lowest success rate on designed runs in games that Murray played. That likely contributed to Murray facing light boxes 79% of the time (a high rate), and his play-action rate was down from 29% in 2024 to 20%.”
Good find.
A great point was made to me by Kevin Cole of the Unexpected Points newsletter on a podcast episode I’ve got coming out on Friday. He noticed that Murray’s workload in terms of drop-backs per play was extremely high. Basically, with the Cardinals, he was asked to be Patrick Mahomes.
The reason that I’ve been looking a lot more at 2024 from a data perspective to figure out what Murray might look like in KOC’s offense is that it has a lot more in terms of support. James Connor ran the ball well at 4.6 YPC, they had a good PFF pass blocking grade and Murray was able to use play-action on 29.5% of drop-backs (8th most) and he was very effective when using it.
With play-actin in 2024, Murray had a 101.4 QB rating, was only sacked five times in 181 drop-backs and averaged 8.9 yards per attempt. He graded as the 12th best PFF play-action QB.
We see this throughout Murray’s career. Every time he has help, he thrives. Whether that’s a true WR1, good blocking, good run game to play off etc.
The Vikings should be thinking about peak Russell Wilson. Everyone wanted higher volume but actually lower volume ended up being more efficient. Same with Seahawks Sam Darnold.
Bottom line: Draft a running back.
Sean M… I see two likely outcomes for 2026, both of which make trading Greenard now a good idea. First, we win 10+ games and we need the salary cap space that would go to JG now to sign Kyler. Second, we are a disaster. Kyler gets hurt and JJ plays and is ineffective again. So paying a 30+ year old pass rusher 25ish million a year a poor allocation of resources when we could have a young/cheap top 100 pick in the building.
There’s probably a wider spectrum of outcomes that are distributed fairly equally but those are definitely two that are plausible, yeah.
I’m conflicted on the Greenard thing. He’s such a good player and such a good person in the locker room that sending him off for draft picks feels wrong for a team that just got a quarterback who is capable of winning. It doesn’t really match up with 2026, in my mind. They have zero depth at outside linebacker and that’s… pretty important in this defense.
At the same time, they do need to be thinking about 2027. The cap situation isn’t terrible for 2027 but it isn’t wonderful either. Trading Greenard would alleviate pressure there. Also if they have to draft a quarterback, then having an extra second-round pick to toss at somebody to move up into the top 10 would be really helpful.
Thing is, they don’t really have to do this now. A player with Greenard’s track record can be moved for solid return any time. If they get the sense this season is headed South, then they could do it at the trade deadline. He’s under contract through 2027, so they could also move him next offseason.
It feels like a 2023 Danielle Hunter situation. Yes, it might be the absolute most shrewd thing to do to move the guy and get back good return but they are trying to win. Make a contract adjustment, work it out this year and see where you’re at.
That said, if someone comes by with a first-round pick, you gotta do whatcha gotta do.
Geoff…Why do you think the Vikings wanted to sign Carson Wentz in particular when there are so many other terrible, unplayable quarterbacks they could have signed instead to (hopefully) not play at all? (Obviously I’m a bit salty, but I really find this one inexplicable and resent the possibility that I might watch him play again.)
I’m sensing some snark here Geoff.
We truly do not have to look deeply at the Wentz signing. First, as “unplayable” as he might be in your eyes, the fact that he won 2 of 5 games and two of them were close losses says that he’s not quite unplayable. Jefferson had big games. He had a game-winning drive vs. a really good defense. Maybe if KOC hands off a couple times to Jordan Mason or they don’t give up a bunch of bombs to Hurts they win the Philly game.
If you look around the league at the NFL’s backups, an actual contending team wooed 120-year-old Philip Rivers out of retirement to play. It’s a horror show. Wentz is probably the 10th best backup in the NFL. You’ll scoff and then look up the list and agree.
It’s also good for Murray to have another veteran in the room that can help him learn the new offense.
KOC has twice in four years ended up playing QB3. They are just preparing so the nightmare scenario features a .500 career QB who can toss the ball to Justin Jefferson rather than rookie Jaren Hall or Max Brosmer.
Anybody looking more into it than that is trying too hard.
Hunter S…You typically use contract numbers to quantify the value of a position and argue why the Vikings should draft another WR. Are there any positions that you think are currently undervalued based on contract numbers? Any overvalued positions? Where could the Vikings zig while the league zags?
That’s a good question. I made this argument when the Vikings picked Donovan Jackson: Playing guard is harder than ever. I looked at the numbers last year from just a few years ago to 2024 there was a massive drop in PFF pass blocking grade by guards and an increase in pressures allowed. It’s pretty clear that the crazy blitzes that teams are running now and the jump in pass-rushing DTs is causing the guard position to be very, very difficult. We are seeing mediocre guards get big contracts because teams that have them rarely let them go.
Tyler Linderbaum getting a massive center contract is along the same lines. The issue with center is that there aren’t many good ones. It’s like middle linebacker and safety. Sure, the top guys are absolutely worth the dollars but the 12th best center, safety or linebacker definitely isn’t worth a big paycheck. The 12th best wide receiver 100% is worth $30+ million.
Positional value is tricky to parse through.
Thieneman might be that guy who’s worth a top-five safety contract in his performance. Is that super likely though? Isn’t it more likely to find a quality No. 2 WR to justify the value spent?
At the same time, most good teams have really good safeties.
Some people just throw up their hands and say, “just draft good players!” That would be great if there was no salary cap. But the Vikings have huge contracts at left tackle and wide receiver into the future, so every dollar counts.
Billy J… 2 1sts, Kyler, McCarthy, Greenard for Burrow?
Yeah, they’re not doing that.
If you land a top five quarterback, you never, ever, ever, ever let them walk.
Douglas J M…I need you to look into your crystal ball and predict how much different the offense could look with the new Kyler/KOC/Frank Smith collaboration
I suspect that leaning into outside zone is going to be the big thing. Per PFF, last year the Miami Dolphins ran 226 zone rushes and 134 gap rushes. No running game is exclusively zone like it might have been back in the day but that’s a pretty significant ratio. Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones both come from that family of run scheme too.
What I’m really looking for in the run game is the offensive line to appear organized. Remember in 2019 and 2020, they might not have had a ton of talent on the O-line but the guys really understood the scheme and it worked to perfection with Dalvin Cook (unless they were playing Kenny Clark).
Usually Miami has been really, really good at using pre-snap motion as part of the running game. With Kyler Murray in there, they should have an opportunity to improve the run game out of the shotgun and become less predictable. It has felt like the Vikings were under center a lot with their run game in recent years.
Jack R…Does someone being named the starter ever get written into a contract? It seems no matter what’s been said to this point, whomever the best QB in camp is will be the starter. I’d bet the house it’s Murray, but I can’t see any coach not playing the best guy (assuming they’re not tanking).
I have never heard of contract language that ensures that someone is the starter at any position. You can’t possibly agree to that if you’re the team. However, you can tell Kyler that he’s absolutely the starter when you sign him.
I think we can all put our common sense hats on here and agree that everyone knows the deal here. Murray was the 12th best QB by PFF in 2024 and was 9th best by ESPN’s QBR. To put that in context, Kirk Cousins ranked 13th by PFF and 23rd by QBR in 2022.
This isn’t the level of QB who is really competing for his job with a guy who struggled as much as McCarthy did last year.
But if you’re KOC, it does nothing to name a starter now. You never know what could happen and you want McCarthy to be as driven as possible.
Brad L… If Rob Brzezinski doesn’t become permanent GM, who would you assess to be leading candidates? How crazy (unheard of?) is this interim-wait until after the draft situation?
It’s definitely unusual. If it wasn’t Rob leading the way, I probably would say it was crazy but he’s credible enough to be the GM (and might eventually be). Their approach is a little curious with the fact that they haven’t moved more money around to sign more guys but I’m guessing this was always going to be the plan after so much spending in previous years.
I really don’t have a candidate list. It’s not like with assistant coaches where we can look around at different coordinators who have been on the rise. I would be totally guessing from other teams’ front offices. I suspect they will look at people who have experience though.
Evan…The Colts signed a Notre Dame basketball forward in the hopes of converting him to a tight end. If you could sign any professional or recently-graduated college player to the Vikings for the 2026 season, who would you sign and what position would they play?
Like, a recent college basketball player? I don’t know a ton about the recent draft or this year’s NCAA teams but I looked up last year’s NBA Combine and found Drake Powell from Brooklyn. The funny thing about Powell is that he’s a guard but he’s Calvin Johnson’s height and has the same vertical.
It’s crazy that the most gigantic wide receiver with that type of speed and explosiveness is an NBA guard or small forward.
Otherwise, go full Al Davis and give me the best track athlete in college football and let’s make the guy a deep threat.
Eric…Really enjoy your work. Name one player from the O and one from the D that you think will outperform expectations this coming season. Do not include a QB or a ‘26 draft pick.
Thanks Eric!
I guess I’d either have to go with Tai Felton or Blake Brandel for guys that could outperform expectations because expectations aren’t high for either of them. If we’re going a little more along the lines of starters, I think people have forgotten how good TJ Hockenson can be under the right circumstances. Kyler is very good at getting rid of the ball quickly to his checkdowns. Trey McBride put up crazy numbers with Kyler playing somewhat of a similar role as a “move” tight end.
On the defensive side, the deeper cut could be Levi Drake Rodriguez. He made real progress last year as a body-mover type DT. He reminds me of Harrison Phillips as a DT that isn’t exactly 330 pounds but he’s really strong and he’s just starting to learn how to use it. I could see him playing a lot in 2026.
James B… When McCarthy and Wentz look better than Murray the first week of training camp because they have a bit of a head start, how normal do you think the fans will be about it? I’m thinking that your live stream chat will be an absolute dumpster fire if that scenario plays out
McCarthy and Wentz are not, at any point, going to look better than Kyler Murray.
Purpleric…Let’s get waaay ahead of ourselves for some fun with the crystal ball: Kyler is the starter and goes 7-3, QB rating of 95, gets injured - JJ comes in goes 4-3 down the stretch and gets us into the payoffs with 90 QB rating, wins 1 playoff game mostly due to the defense, but he doesn’t lose us the game either. Who’s our QB next year? I know, a lot of other variables would be in play so fence it in how you want with what you consider the other key variables - then what % JJ, What % Kyler as QB1 2027?
The scenarios are really hard to pick apart. The bar would have to be pretty high for McCarthy to become the 2027 quarterback. He might be able to play himself into a competition situation but in order to sell them as the locked-in starter, he’d have to be really, really good in those seven games. If it’s up and down, then they would have to have another plan, if not stick with Kyler.
Any situation where Murray gets hurt is the worst and most difficult for the team. If he only plays 10 games but is awesome, they would be in a situation where they’re looking at a very short-term contract, maybe something like what Daniel Jones got. That’s not exactly a place where they want to be.
There would be other factors too. Did KOC feel like they clicked. Did he throw the ball to Jefferson successfully, what’s the long-term concern about injuries etc..
Jonathan O…I’m curious how the QB position plays out for the Vikings. Murray is likely the starter but I have a gut feeling McCarthy gets another opportunity with the Vikings. What do you feel the Wentz signing means?
I don’t think the Wentz signing really means much other than that nothing is handed to JJ McCarthy, not even QB2. If he doesn’t outplay Wentz and truly master the entire offense, he’s not going to be the backup.
There’s no downside to Wentz being here. He can win a handful of games if needed. He gets along with KOC and Josh McCown great. He can work with Kyler on the offense in ways that JJ cannot. He seems like he really enjoys being a Viking.
Brian K… I did an experiment where I asked AI how the Vikings might use Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins this year. The answer had some interesting points and a couple mistakes. Might be interesting to play around with this during slower news times.
Why would I ask a flawed computer program stuff when I spend my entire career working to get everything regarding the Vikings correct? All those A.I. programs do is plagiarize real reporters so I’m not a big fan.
Ty Ingram-Dawkins will have a chance to show that he can have a versatile role where he’s moving around to different spots on the D-line. I really don’t have a great feeling about where he’s going to settle. I could see his strength being used as an extra D-lineman in run situations or his athleticism utilized in pass rushing situations. It’s really up to him.
Florian K…You asked earlier in the week what would it take for the Vikings to keep Murray into ‘27. I’ll say 14-15 games played, 10+ quality wins, however you want to quantify that, and possibly the playoffs. What’s your take? IF that would happen what would be the harm if JJ just becomes a good QB2? Friggin Trey Lance among other notable #2s are still bouncing around the league so why not JJ? Teams used to sit their QBs for a few years to develop.
One last one. Are teams saving up draft picks for ‘27 since this years new crop is relatively lackluster?
The bar is relatively high if you’re talking about a long-term deal. It definitely has to be double-digit wins and remaining healthy. If he ends up as a top-12 QB and they could sign him to a Baker Mayfield type deal or Sam Darnold type mid-range deal, then it would work out pretty well. If he’s somewhere in the ballpark of the 18th-24th best QB and they grind out some wins because of the defense, then you can’t really start handing out big dollars.
JJ might end up being a Trey Lance or Blaine Gabbert but he’s not going to do it with the Vikings. If his starting chances are over here, then they will eventually move along. It’s just really uncomfortable to have the guy that you made your franchise QB at one point into a backup. Usually there’s another franchise that wants to try their hand with that guy and it ends up being a way to pick up a little draft capital.
I wouldn’t write off McCarthy because he might end up playing at some point and then you never know. But if Kyler starts the whole season and they want to sign him, it’s probably time to move on from McCarthy.
JeffInSeattle… I keep reading that our roster isn’t as good as it was last year so signing Murray for 1 years doesn’t make sense. Harrison is a loss, no question. And Nailor was a good WR3, but we don’t know where Felton is in his development plus there are always veterans out there who can fill that spot credibly. I think our young DI’s replace Hargrave & Allen in a rotation nearly seamlessly. I think running it back, roster wise, is a smart thing to do. They’ve cleared a lot of cap for next season, and there are still other moves that can free up even more. I think Brzezinski has done a great job, and if we can hit on a couple draft choices this team will be damn good. Any comment regarding roster additions/subtractions?
Signing Murray to a multi-year deal makes total sense if he plays well. What’s the other option to get a quarterback that good if they are not going to be drafting high? We’ve also seen it happen multiple times (Goff, Mayfield, Darnold) where a highly-drafted QB finds new life with a different franchise and they build around them year after year.
As far as the roster being better or worse, I’d say it’s definitely not better but the offseason isn’t over yet. We don’t know who they are going to draft or how that’s going to work out. There have been years where the first and second-rounders are impact players right away (2019 comes to mind).
They can definitely replace the production at DT, even if it’s with better run stuffing and less in terms of QB pressures.
If Harry retires, that’s a huge role to fill. I would think they’d be looking at the draft and having Metellus take his spot. We’ve also seen Flores squeeze a lot out of the roster before.
The environment in the NFC North and schedule is also a little different than last year. They play the NFC South, which isn’t the toughest and they get nine home games. As far as I know, they won’t be spending two weeks in another country either.
They should have every opportunity with this roster and maybe a couple late-spring/early-summer additions to be close to where they were last year in total. The thing we never know is how injuries and depth may impact them.
All the teams in the NFC North are dealing with the same issue of having a lot of talent and a lot of question marks.
Axel P… Hi Matthew. Thanks for this space as always. When are we supposed to expect something from Tai Felton ? Stepping up as WR3 is entirely out of the question ?
I’m not sure exactly what to expect from Felton. I thought that he showed some serious speed in training camp and made a handful of good plays in camp/preseason and then made a great impression with his toughness and work ethic when it came to special teams. I think the kid is intelligent and has the ability to make a real impact with the ball in his hands.
We have to keep in mind how good Keenan McCardell has been at developing these guys and how much the door is open to opportunity for anyone that isn’t named Justin Jefferson in this offense. There won’t be any double teams and there should be chances to catch and run with the ball if he can earn the spot in camp.
I’m very curious to see if we get DeAndre Hopkins showing up here or somebody else with a lot more experience. If not, then you know they’re buying Felton.
Evan… Should we draft Eli Heidenreich with the 195th pick? I think we’re going to feel CJ’s absence on ST. Also, fullback.
I really, really like Heidenreich. His NFL Combine proved that he has the raw athleticism and the dude is a Football Player. He is really natural as a route runner and he catches the heck out of the ball. Certainly there would be a big learning curve but he’s tough. I saw him play a few times and really thought he was great.
They definitely need a fullback replacement, in my opinion. They can’t ask Aaron Jones to do all of the pass protection and the Mike McDaniel-inspired run game should require one. Not sure where that’s going to come from and maybe they use Josh Oliver for some of that but it’s proven to still be very useful.
Adam B… Having basically sat out the free agency, do you think the Vikings might trade some day 2 or 3 picks for vets who can fill some roster holes in 2026? Can’t expect rookies (especially day 3 picks) to all contribute immediately and lots of gaps to be a truly competitive team in the NFC North.
I suspect that they’re trying to avoid doing too much more of that but it’s certainly a route that they could take at the end of training camp where there are cutdowns.
That’s the thing about not playing in free agency: There are options that pop up throughout the summer that can still end up having an impact. Had they only traded for Kendrick Bourne and not Adam Thielen last year, he might have fit in nicely as he did with San Francisco.
How about all those articles we wrote about the cornerback position in 2024 only for Stephon Gilmore to show up and play the entire season. Or Fabian Moreau to drop in at the last minute last year.
The Seahawks acquired Rasheed Shaheed at the deadline.
It might not be as entertaining as a huge first day of free agency but sometimes it works out eventually. They probably will utilize other routes to getting players with their current budget situation.
Anglo Vike… Knowing your love for drafting WRs- would it make sense to take a WR with #18 pick? Potentially we’d be set at WR or if Addison was traded down the line then we’d have a top pick to step in as WR2 - feasible idea or a waste of #18?
It makes a ton of sense to take a WR with the 18th pick. Not only is it a long-term type thing if they aren’t going to stick with Addison but let’s say that receiver catches 40 passes for 550 yards and five touchdowns. That’s a heck of a lot of value over the player that would be in that spot otherwise. It’s an incredible extra weapon to have.
No matter how trends come and go in the NFL, the passing game is always going to be king. The more you can do for your quarterback, the better. If he has three dudes who can get open, well, ask Randall Cunningham and Jeff George how much that helps.
Brent M…
Hey Matthew, Have you heard anything credible about Richardson to the Vikes? If the Colts were interested, I thought some sort of QB for QB trade could be a win-win for all parties involved. We know KOC is a fan and on the surface, it seems like Richardson is more similar to Murray and JJ is more similar to DJ. Thoughts?
If this interests you, what are your recollections of the Hutchinson “Poison Pill” contract (I thought the Seahawks response was hilarious)? I recalled this the other day and wondered why we don’t see that anymore of those. So, I found that they added language to the CBA to prevent it because of this. Do you know who came up with the idea for the Vikes? Seems brilliant!
There was one report that they had “mutual interest” and that was that. If the Vikings were pretty much out on McCarthy and they felt like Richardson would have a better chance to develop slowly over a year or two behind Murray and possibly become the guy someday then it would make total sense for them to make that type of move.
They are pretty similar with their teams giving up on them but the one difference is that Richardson is an absolute monster freak. There are only two or three guys ever who have his level of speed/size/arm. If KOC is big on him, then do it. You can’t take too many swings at QB.
I believe it was your acting GM who came up with the idea of the now-banned Poison Pill.
jcphitman…. Is Vikings fandom panicking early over the QB situation? Is this just KOC being prepared for injuries? All three have injury history. Why do I keep reading this is the end of JJM?
Because people are bored. They need some spark of drama but we knew for weeks that this was probably going to happen.
It’s very clear that KOC wants a deep QB room because they’ve ended up playing extremely inexperienced QBs in big games in the past and they don’t want to have that again.
It also puts McCarthy in a position to earn every inch. I know there’s some people who’d like to see him handed the job again but that’s not how pro sports work. He has to prove he’s a better backup option than Wentz. If he’s making big strides, he should be able to do that but they’re not going to just hope and pray for that.
Tony T…If the Vikings don’t sign many more free agents and are safely under the cap, could they rework some contracts to add money to this year? Sort of a reverse dead cap?
It feels like most of the variability of outcomes for 2026 depends on how good Kyler Murray is in O’Connell’s system. If it clicks, will we really think “they should have signed more FAs in March” or won’t we just be happy they didn’t completely suck?
You can carry over excess cap space to the next year but they’re definitely not going to end up with enough extra space to make a difference. With some spots that have to be filled and a draft class to sign, they’ll be right up against it unless they make a big move.
With Murray, we’ve seen him in a close enough environment to have a pretty good guess at how good it can be in 2024. The question for me isn’t about fit — he’s done most of the stuff KOC’s offense requires — it’s about health and variance and whether he can sustain through 17 games a high level of performance.
In years past, there has been dips as the season went along and in particular struggles against pressure. He’s bounced back and forth between being a decent QB under pressure to absolutely terrible at times. After watching a ton of his film, I think he’ll be fine in structure with some frustrating moments where he turns down open throws but it’s the out of structure stuff that can go magically or terribly.
Jason… What were the early signs that Zimmer was losing the team/on shaky ground? I didn’t start noticing anything until 2020 or so. Any of those signs with O’Connell?
The only thing that came into my mind was that catastrophic mistakes can linger. Sam Darnold winning the Super Bowl has to be in the back of everyone’s mind when it comes to really trusting the decision making.
But otherwise you couldn’t get farther away with two coaches than Zimmer and KOC. The players always feel like KOC has their back and he’s going to bring positive energy and motivation to them no matter what happens. You could see some of the frustration building last year with KOC but I never got an indication that it was carrying over into the locker room and meetings in any type of destructive way.
The NFLPA survey, as reported by Kalyn Kahler, was very telling. They still gave him an A despite everything they went through.
Speedi… Is a simpler explanation for Wentz is KOC trusts him so decided to bring him in early rather than screw around like last year. Maybe he thinks Wentz will be a great mentor to JJM. A team truly wanting to compete for a superbowl needs QB depth. It won’t make sense to get rid of JJM on a rookie contract. There are no #3 QBs I can think of who would be an improvement on JJM.
I don’t have any disagreements. It’s really not that deep. Either Wentz or JJ are the best QB3 in the NFL and KOC isn’t taking any chances in a really big year for him.
jcphitman… What do you think the chances are the Bills match the offer for Ryan Van Demark?
I’m sure they want to keep him but their cap situation isn’t all that great either. I’d say 60-40 they let him go.
“McCarthy and Wentz are not, at any point, going to look better than Kyler Murray.” Best line of the year!
