The contract was worse that Jax gave him before we got him and we made it better when we had it restructured with the trade.
This is the most important part.
Pace restructured his 20 mil guaranteed so you could be done with him by now. I wanted to ultimately give Pace the benefit of the doubt because they signed Quinn and hopefully--in talks with Robinson about an extension. There's no need to point out what then actually happened with Robinson leading up to where we are today.
The plan was to tag him all along. So what was the point of Pace restructuring Foles to get the extra cap that he never used?
This is one of many Ryan Pace's self-inflicted blunders, and as a result, he has the most expensive QB3 in the league that he can't get rid of because he had to spread out a hit he could have paid off--and teams know it which is why he's still a bear. No more, no less.
You hate to see an injury, but as some have mentioned prior that if someone gets injured causing the bears to get lucky, the deal is probably eating a chunk of his 6.66 mil to get 2-3 mil in savings for a conditional/straight 7th.
And you take it.
