What's even been the speculation with him? I know the team is tight-lipped... has anybody (insider) offered an explanation?

Agreed. I still say Justin Fields is the proper FA QB to pursue given these particular circumstances. Sam Darnold scares me worse than Wentz... Similar to the team that signs Darnold, we banked on Wentz mainly off one season. But Wentz had much better numbers and results in the surrounding seasons than Darnold has.
Agree on Fields, and IMO Darnold is a MUCH bigger risk than Wentz was. Wentz was only bad in Philly his final year there. At least statistically. Although his stats there were probably better than his actual performance in Philly like they were here. Anyway, Darnold agree to a 3 years for $100M with SEA, so we don't have to worry about that.

And Daniel Jones just isn't interesting to me.
Not only is he not interesting, but he's just objectively a bad QB. What has he actually done other than being drafted about 3 rounds too early by the Giants? I saw that OTC is projecting he'll get $13M for a 1 year deal, which I'll be super pissed if we give him anywhere near that.

Raekwon was virtually a dud.
Agreed. No brainer to cut him.

Hendrickson would obviously be awesome. He's one of the few older vet types I'd support paying for. Thing is, I've read that CIN would want more along the lines of a 1st or multiple day-2 picks, not just a single 3rd-rounder. And that would be on top of the $35m salary he'll want.
No doubt. Although I seriously doubt Ballard will make that move. Especially if he gets into any sort of bidding war.

No explanation from what I've seen.

Jones looking more likely. Darnold to SEA and Fields to NYJ.

Saw the Darnold deal earlier and now seeing Fields to NYJ for 2 years, $40M w/ $30M guaranteed. Hoping we dodge the bullet on Jones, or if we do sign him then it's dirt cheap.

Fields will start in New York rather than competing with AR here.

Unless the Colts were going to be willing to massively overpay, this was a no brainer for Fields. Same for Darnold in Seattle

I’m afraid Daniel Jones may be the best we can hope for.

I’d rather have Ridder

Or Minshew. At the very least both Ridder and Minshew will be cheaper than Jones.

Ridder has absolutely no upside!
