Grading Brissett’s $30M deal with Stephen Holder

Stephen Holder of The Athletic joins Jeff and Big Joe to disect Jacoby Brissett’s new deal. What do we need to know?

“Here’s the thing, you can draft a quarterback or look in free agency but you don’t control that… You know have control over him for two years. What it does is leaves the franchise tag available for someone else. Eric Ebron, wink, wink. And, it lets you go out and find another quarterback.”

Can Jacoby be a driving force like Andrew was?

“There were weeks where Andrew Luck was not the reason they won. There was a game where Andrew threw for under 200 yards and just one touchdown. The run game and defense carried them through.”
