Absolutely. Jay is no Jim Zorn. He had success before the Redskins, in fact he's had relative success here, given how bad the situation is. When Jay is fired he will easily get an OC job, and he'll have a decent chance at a HC job either immediately or within a couple years. If I were him I'd already be counting down the days until week 17.

We definitely can't assume he would have stayed on the Redskins. He could have easily pulled a Champ Bailey and gone to a competent organization the moment his rookie contract was up.

Here on ES, even the backup QB gets his own thread. My case for Case: he is cheap and he can play NFL QB at replacement (read: below-average) level. The other ten guys on the field will be able to do their jobs. The overall result will not be amazing but it will be a be an NFL offense. As opposed to QBs we've had in the past who made the players around them worse. The O-line would block correctly, but it would be a sack anyway because the QB would walk into the pass rushers or hold the ball far too long. The WRs would run the correct routes and get open, but the QB would never see them open, and would take off running. Etc.

Mad shade from an offensive lineman who didn't take care of the QB.

The NFL isn't going to make this a primetime game. The Vikings aren't much of a national draw, and we aren't a draw at all in 2019. (That's why our primetime record is so bad -- they always need to match us up with a popular team, typically a pretty strong team.)

His cap hit this year is $20.4m; in 2020 it will be $21.4m. We will still have $10.8m of cap hit to take after that. Total $51.6m. Depending on when we cut him and how we designate it, we can stretch that $51.6m cap hit to 2022, or we can take it all this year, or anything in between. There's a slight advantage to stretching out the cap hits as far as possible, because future money is worth a little less than present money. But no matter how you slice it, the Redskins are going to have $50M less to play with over the next four years.

Bruce Allen's job is to take the heat off Snyder for Snyder's bad decisions. So, maybe?

He agreed to restructure his contract down to only 7.5M. So he absolutely had a say.

Welcome to the Redskins, Case Keenum. I hope you know what you've gotten yourself into. His career stats, courtesy of https://www.pro-football-reference.com/

Even if you think Kirk is going 7-9 this year, you have to be delusional to think freaking Case Keenum is going to lead our dumpster fire to .500.

You're probably wondering how this is better for Keenum than waiting to get cut and taking his $7M from the Broncos plus the few million he would get on the open market. The answer is that his $7M "guaranteed" had offsets. Every dollar another team paid him would have been one less dollar that the Broncos owed him. Because no team would have paid him more than $7M, he would have been stuck earning exactly $7M total in 2019.

So how come we gave Smith $71 million guaranteed for three years, but only gave Keenum $3.5 million for one year?

I'm not sure how much we could get. My trade for Rosen suggestion was optimistic. The trade value of a player is his expected performance minus his salary owed. Frankly, that number is close to zero for Williams. Unless a team overpays... I have just the team in mind, and it's not the Cardinals.

We need to replace Williams with someone younger, cheaper, healthier. Should be done this year. We have four picks in the first three rounds. I want us to spend two of those on O-line.

I'm not sure, honestly. I know it would cost the average of the top 10 QBs. Same road we've been down before... How about a third plus Trent Williams?
