4 year, $180M contract!! 
I haven't heard this take yet, but I'm putting a pin in it here because it makes as much sense as any other I've heard, which is to say not much. @CrazyCraftLady gets credit for it in any case.
What if Penix is now the World's Biggest Trade Bait?
He was probably the best guy out there or had reasonable claim to be...what if you just scoop him up and start taking offers? Seeing if you can get actual veteran defensive players (which they need a hell of a lot more than they need another QB) out of teams desperate for his talents?
