I may be in the minority here but I feel like we should let the CJ contract play out. I don't know how confident I am in how many years he has left at a high level. We seem to be in fine cap position this year for what we plan to bring in and we seem to be in a good cap position for next year. So I do not really see the need to move on in his contract right now.

Sometimes it is best to just take your lumps rather than kick the can down the road.

You extend him so you lock him up for the rest of his career. He is still on this side of 30 and has shown to be durable and productive. You don't restructure and you don't sit pat when we need him for his ability and his,leadership. If you give him a 3 year extension you end up reducing his cap hit for this year and next and as long as the guarantee money is largely his salary for this year and next with a manageable signing bonus it is a win- win for both sides. With that said I have no idea what kind of money he is looking for as this point.

I disagree with this, let the contract play out instead of kicking the can down the road.  

 

I see both sides of the argument, but I disagree with 20M this year and 15M next, and then he's a FA in '17.  He's proven that he should remain a Panther, and a 2 or 3 year extension assures him of that.  Reduce his salary this year and next, and stretch it into a signing bonus that can be spread out over the next few years.  If we could free up 6-8M this year with CJ, our cap number looks solid.

 

CJ can be a rotational DE by the end of his contract.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By NAS · Posted

      I find it funny those who continue to hate on Bryce based on his rookie year when he had zero weapons or offensive line have a problem with those of us projecting his career from the 8-9 games where he played like a top 10 QB and made more big time throws during that period than any other QB.  The stats may bot have been there in terms of yards or TD passes but that’s coming as the roster improves. For those who think physical traits can overcome roster deficiencies we all witnessed how Mahomes looked under pressure that Bryce faced for most of his rookie year, we saw what happened with Stroud in similar circumstances.  None of us were creating posts proclaiming Bryce as the next Brady but we can’t just sit idly while thread after thread is created continuing with the  anti Bryce tropes  instead of supporting him and just letting him continue to develop.

      To me Bryce's ceiling is his backup, Andy Dalton, in his prime.  Sure, he may get us some winning seasons and may even get us to the playoffs on occasion, but with an early exit.  To me he doesn't have what it takes to be elite and it takes an elite QB to consistently get deep into the playoffs.  He's not Jackson, he's not Mahomes and he's not even Allen.  In an organization like Philly, he possibly could have what it takes to make a deep run, but let's face it...Philly is well oiled machine and and we are a GMC Grimlin.

      If he was he would still be in the league.... Cam never learned to play QB without relying on his athletism and rocket arm.
