    Manning will not be with Denver next year. I just can't figure how to value Osweiller. You can't tag him for 18+ mil for a guy who has started a handful of games. But he did well in the games so you got to figure some team will offer more than 10+ a year who needs a QB.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    If Colin Kaepernick can be paid an average of $19M per year, and Ryan Tannehill (if he sticks) in the same neighborhood, Osweiller can't be that far behind if not the same.

    That is exactly my point. So if you sign Osweiller to that kind of a contract you aren't gaining that much cap space by dumping Manning. Von counted a little under $10M against the cap in 2015 if my googling is correct. That being said you are looking 6 years/$100M+ for his next contract. That eats up another $7M in cap space over his current contract.
