Yes, our DE made the top of the list for over paid players. We will see what transpires down the road with his contract. They say his production does not justify his pay stub. What do you all think and what will happen after this season?

​He's making 20 mill this year.  Not a tremendous amount?  Huh?  

You can't just look at the worst cap hit on a six year deal. It's not his fault Hurney backloaded his contract. Over the course of his contract it averages 12.5 mil a year which is pretty much in line with what premier DEs make.

They didn't watch him play they only looked at his stats and pay then said this. He was hurt and had no one playing across from him last year and even the whole D slumped a bit, but by the end of the season I remember saying to myself that he is finally playing up to his pay check. If he keeps that up all season the 20 mil would be worth it.

You may have a point though I think he's played more like a 10mil per yr guy.

lol @ anyone that thinks he isn't vastly overpaid. this will be the last of the hurney blunders that we have to maneuver around.

He certainly benefitted from an artifically-inflated market when he hit FA, but I think the real crime was the awful structure moreso than the salary itself.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
