If not CAR is on the hook for up to $10M of this year's salary, so someone could get a super cheap QB if they are willing to be patient.

I guess that means they are not looking at QB competition, the job is Sam's. This offseason has been absolutely bonkers.

One possibility that comes to mind is new Broncos GM George Paton is given permission by the Panthers to talk to Teddy Bridgewater and his agent.  For the purpose of seeing they can work out a more salary cap friendly contract as part of a trade.  

Paton worked under Vikings GM Rick Spielman when Bridgewater was drafted by them at the end of Round 1 in 2014. Paton clearly has reservations about Drew Lock, who Paton inherited.  Bridgewater would hence be the Broncos short term QB, as they look for long term options that wouldn't cost them loads of draft capital. 

 It seems realistically possible the Broncos can get a mid Round pick in a trade for Lock because he is under contract through the 2022 season. With Lock's salary cap cost being minimal for a team that would trade for him.
