Geno = career resurgence in Seattle, is 32 and turns 33 this year.
Goff = career resurgence in Detroit, is almost exactly 4 years younger than Geno.
4 years is a LOT by NFL terms. If Seattle falters next season, which is very possible for the level of play of a 33 year old QB, Geno’s contract (which only has a $10 mill cap hit for 2023) would allow Seattle to get out after 1 season. They would take a $17 mill dead cap hit but if they drafted a QB at #5, they would still end up paying less at QB than most teams.
I am not a fan of Tannenbaum. That being said I love that he did something ballsy and opened a conversation. And he followed it up with a sound explanation. I don’t trust him as a talent evaluator but there are alot of suspect talent evaluators in power positions in the NFL that use some of the same data points he does. So its interesting to think about the idea that a team might pull the trigger on Hooker sooner than we think.
