Thanks for one of the (if not the) best decades this franchise has ever managed, Andy. Go somewhere, prove your haters wrong, and get us a juicy comp pick.

He's being released, so there's no comp pick coming back our way.  We would have had to keep him until his contract expired in order to get a comp pick.

Agreed. I wish for nothing but the best for Dalton moving forward. He did lots of good things for the franchise and city. He’s a good, good dude.

Ballsagna. Lasagna made of balls.

Hopefully they 1) either resign him at a lower cost, 2) find a quality veteran QB to be the backup. I do not want to go into the season with the garbage we have for backup QBs.

I'll root for him wherever he ends up. Other than the North.

The writing has been on the wall for a while. At this point i think this is the outcome that is best for both parties. I harbor no ill will towards Andy, he led a pretty exciting group of seasons. Good luck to him.

[Jamie_B 3,112]

I don't blame Andy for the problems this team has, I wish him well. You can't keep a 17 million dollar back up though.

[saphead 1,065]

He's a wonderful human being, made a comfortable living, and has a smoking hot wife.

I weep no tears.

Kinda wondering who gets a new deal now

[|Numbers| 1,421]

I'm guessing Jaguars or maybe Patriots.

I wish Andy well.  Minus this years salary he has been paid over $80 million.  He should be able to do whatever he and his family wants the rest of his life.

I made a donation to his foundation with a note thanking him for his time here. $14 is what I could spare and seemed apropos. I think there's a twitter move afoot for folks who can to donate to the foundation today.

Good luck to a class act. I wish him well.

I did the same.

Wishing them nothing but the best. They will surely be missed in this city.

fuck him.

 

wasted a decade of my life, wasted a top 10 defense, wasted the prime of AJs career.

 

he got paid $83,000,000 to drop the ball.... i mean literally and figuratively...

 

good fucking riddance. 

 

worst 10 years of my sports life.

 

what could possibly be worse than know you had no chance to win it all? after two playoff games, you knew he couldnt do it.. the dfense outscored him in one of them. 

 

and to sit there for 7 more season with that nightmare looming, knowing the defense and weapons would drag him into the playoffs 3 more time... (one he didnt play, and unironically thats the one we technically won if the refs didnt fuck us 3 times.

 

no more backfield screen pass interceptions..... no more throwing a pick and hurting yourslf making a tackle. no more fumbling with no one around you in the playoffs. no more squeeky girly voice in pre game hype talks or playoffs after throwing a pick.

 

its. finally. fucking. over.
