He will be 33 in July, Not sure it would be wise to invest in a long term contract on a player that old. He is still productive but for most players age equates with more frequent injuries.  

 

Would definitely seem opposite to what the organization is currently doing.  I know we grabbed vets (i.e. Cotchery) but he is a piece of the puzzle whereas Johnson would likely be viewed as a star and be paid as such.  I dont think this would work based on our current trajectory.  I truly believe we want to create the future stars of the league rather than depend on those that have already achieved that status.

Just don't think that D.G wants a player with a little age and one that could be a "distraction" as far as grooming K.B. ( the future #1 reciever).He already signed vets to mentor the young guys.A.J. Would just bitch and cause waves if he wasn't getting the ball to his liking. Not productive for the WR corps or the locker room...won't happen. You should all know how D.G operates by now....he doesn't like to sign high priced guys that cause any problems or have shown a history of riffs with contracts,etc. Besides if he is unhappy with the scratch he is getting now,he will never be happy here,,,even if we had the money or a GM willing o do it.

      Kind of where I'm at on this also. I think he has the potential to be an all pro caliber guard if he can come back 100%. He's more mauler than quick. Hunt is making 20m per, Moton is making 22m. Moton is a better RT than Icky is a LT so I think the pay comp would probably be about the same there. I don't see Icky as a 28m per season LT. He'll be low 20s and as an elite guard, i think he'd be within a couple mill of that.

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
