So what's the deal with Squidwards contract? I thought it was considered a team friendly deal, weren't the Broncos willing to shell out 16mil for Brock? But won't throw 11mil at Kaep.
That was prior to CJ, Okung, and some others.
Kaep's deal is team friendly in the sense that SF really doesn't pay a penalty for moving on from him. He's also below market for what was once a serviceable guy. It's year to year basically.
As far as the comparison between him and Osweiler? Kaep is devalued after a rough year plagued with injuries. Brock played decent enough to be paid borderline elite money. That's the difference moneywise. Elway didn't want to pay that for Oz, and it's looking like he likes Kaep but wants him for a price closer to what his value is now versus what he was paid when he was fully healthly and playing well.
Honestly would you rather have Kaep for $7M-$12M or Brock at $18M? That's a huge difference imo.
