The Goff $22.2m dead cap hit is going to be the largest in NFL history. That one for Ryan would be more than double of it and would take up more than 25% of their cap. It's a really affordable and great deal for a team trading for it as the new team would get him for 3 years/$74m which is middle of the pack at this point. If they trade him and its marked post June 1st they can spread the dead money over '21 and '22 and it would be a $23m hit this year and $26m hit next year. That would be a bonkers decision unless they were receiving  high level compensation.

I can certainly see a world where they take Wilson or Fields at #4 but with everyone aware that Ryan will be the 2021 starter. Then they can move on after '21 with a still record setting $26m dead money hit. They have the same situation going on with Julio. He turns 32 a week from today and they have no way out until after next year and even that has huge dead money.  They are kind of screwed no matter how it works. Need to draft a QB at 4 this year because unlikely to get another shot that high without sacrificing a lot of assets. But then year 1 of the deal the guy will be sitting, year 2 they are going to likely have huge dead money so tough to build up around him, so going to be year 3 before they can actually take advantage of having a $7m/year QB.
