How did the defense let Diggs get so wide open for that interception?

They're in a glass cage of emotion is what I'm trying to say.
I just can’t imagine things being any worse than they are now.
I get that they can’t cut him but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t bench him for the 2nd round QB they drafted on a rookie contractbjd5211 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 9:00 pmhttps://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/2021/jcc6fd wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 8:54 pmI read a piece this week to this effect; that essentially Wentz’s contract makes benching him very difficult and that unless Hurts lights the world on fire going with him can only end badly.mild wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 8:51 pm

Eagles are 31st in 2021 projected cap space at -$63.5M
30th Atlanta: -$25M
32nd Saints: -$95M
So ya, they can't afford to bench his contract or the dead cap hits that would come with cutting or trading him. They're stuck with him for better or worse.
There are 2 possibilities.jcc6fd wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 9:05 pmI get that they can’t cut him but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t bench him for the 2nd round QB they drafted on a rookie contractbjd5211 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 9:00 pmhttps://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/2021/

I'd agree with that. Can the Eagles cut Wentz in 2022?jcc6fd wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 9:14 pm My personal theory is that this has almost nothing to do with Hurts and everything to do with Wentz contract. Since he’ll be on the team a minimum one more year and the team isn’t going anywhere there’s no reason to risk hurts development/health by putting him behind their line with limited weapons.
Now next year, if this continues, I’d expect them to turn to Hurts by mid season.
Yes they can, it will still be a fairly significant cap hit, but it won't be catastrophic like it would be in 2021.perkinsrooster wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 9:19 pmI'd agree with that.

Dead cap hit in 2021 is $60M but falls to $39.5M in 2022. Seems very steep but I think if he doesn’t improve and they want to try Hurts they will make the switch in 2021 with the intention of cutting Wentz in 2022 while swallowing the hitperkinsrooster wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 9:19 pmI'd agree with that.

Coming off 2017, Carson looked like a lot more than a more athletic Cousins. He was the MVP of the league before the injury, and the front office figured QB contracts were only going to increase over the years, so they wanted to lock him in before the market value went up.Forza_Azzurri wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 9:48 pm My take on the situation is that Wentz is a more physically gifted version of Kirk Cousin but with a worse contract ... for what ever reason the Eagles & Vikings invested money into imperfect QBs but never adapted to compensate for their QB’s inadequacies.
