So Taylor Heinicke is now signed, sealed and delivered for $8.75 Million dollars over 2 years to the WooFT. Oh joy, the team has their starter. No they don’t. What they have is a scout team quarterback who won’t make nearly that much money over the 2 years because he’ll never get to the incentive clauses needed to trigger the money.
I’m sure he’s a nice guy and hard working but he checks a box on the team so they can move on to more important parts. Since going undrafted from mighty Old Dominion in Virginia, Heinicke has played a total of 9 games; thrown for under 500 yards total and has 2 TD’s and 3 interceptions. He’s all of 6-1 (hmmm) and 210 lbs (double hmmm) and doesn’t appear to have the arm strength or foot speed needed to survive as a starting QB in the NFL.
I hope Taylor survives 2022’s roster cuts because he earned it in some form or fashion. Any guy who worked this hard for 6 years pursuing a dream is someone I can cheer on for 2 years. Make some money, Taylor and sock it away. This could just propel you to an NFL pension level and then you can get on with life.
The WFT will continue to wallow in the wilderness until they find a qb.
They should draft a qb every year until they find a star.
