This is the first move of the Brandon Beane / Sean McDermott era of which I have not agreed with.
I loved the Sammy Watkins trade because of the flexibility it gave the Buffalo Bills’ front office to work with the roster in any way they please. They doubled down on the cap savings when they dealt Ronald Darby to Philadelphia.
The salary cap forces General Managers to make extremely difficult decisions, and the quarterback situation is always one of them. Look at Cleveland. The Browns have been searching for their quarterback for twenty years. The Jaguars have been stuck with Blake Bortles, and the Texans have been on a Scooby-Doo-esque chase for their guy until they draft Watson.
