QB Drew Lock re-signed ( One-year deal)

[Hawkspeed]

I am excited by this signing. After watching videos of Drew Lock performing accuracy passing drills...I was amazed.
Hopefully he has a friendly and "mentoring" relationship with Geno, because I think he is an "underdog" that could rise to the top...Like Geno.

Anthony Richardson at #5 confirmed.

A bit higher cost than I thought it would be, but I'm glad he's coming back. I thought he'd look for a starting job somewhere, but maybe he feels another year in this system and maybe a chance to compete with Geno would be good for him long term. Anyway, continuity in the QB room is a good thing.

And who knows, maybe he's the next starting QB after Geno retires.

Gardner Minshew got 1 year, $3.5 million plus incentives (not sure how much) from the Colts, so basically the same deal. Seems about right.

I hope you are well brother. It gives us huge flexibility. We need lines and RBs.

Doing well! I'm working out in Japan now, so that's been quite the adventure. Miss the GameDay chats for sure. Hope all is well for you! I'm liking our free agent moves so far..can't wait for the draft now.

Hard to imagine some other team was willing to pay that. 2 years ago Geno was playing at the league minimum. I don't see how Lock has earned more than that considering he's had a similar career trajectory.

Where would Drew Lock rank among the current QB draft class?

 

[Pandion Haliaetus]

That's a pretty steep rate for Lock at this point. But, it's nice to have at least two QBs on the roster again...

Meh, non-rookie backups are signing for like 5-8m. But the fact that Raiders signed JG, Seahawks signed 2 QBs takes Arizona out of the drivers seat to trade out for more picks. Meaning if the Seahawks happen to have a QB fall into their lap they control the bidding war if they themselves decide to trade down.

3rd...Behind Young & Stroud. He's very similar to Levis imo.

Going to go out on a limb and predict we don’t draft a QB in the 1st round. Fix the “D”.

That is a pretty secure limp you're balancing on, we are going all defense.

I'm not a fan of Lock. I think this deal was the top end of his market.

You haven't been watching Lock in practice all last season like the coaches have, he may well have made great strides. He had all the tools, he just needed some massaging, now he is as smooth as butter... Perhaps.....

Thats exactly right... I think it leaves the draft wide open.. im looking for Hendon Hooker in the 2-3 round. That would be an extremely competitive situation for the future.

I also want Hooker out of the QBs that will most likely be available. I think he's going to be a HUGE steal.

 

[nanomoz]

I still wouldn't rule out QB
by the contract structure of both Geno and Lock

I hope you're right. QB drafts like this coinciding with top 5 picks haven't come around too often.

 

[bsuhawk]

I wonder if they feel Lock will replace Geno in a couple of years? Who would have thought that Geno would have replaced Russ? Maybe the front office feels that their system is plug and play for QBs of a certain type?

I'm wondering the same thing. Lock seems to have the physical tools to be a franchise QB, but his decision making sucks. However, PC has said a couple of times that Lock has looked really good in practice.

This has Hooker in the 2nd written all over it. He’s coming off acl surgery and his play is a lot like Geno. Let him get healthy his rookie year on IR and he’s ready next year to compete

I hadn't really considered that, and it may be overthinking things just a bit. It's an interesting idea though to signal that you aren't interested in a QB in order to reduce the chance of a team jumping in front of you.

My sources* tell me that this is nothing but a DECOY to keep someone from leapfrogging us into Arizona's number three pick.
