He has a huge cap hit next season, so I doubt the Vikings can trade him. All the speculation is he's gonna be cut cut, so any chance we bring him in? 

 

He's a younger better version of Ted Ginn, I think we could compliment Kelvin really well and let Funchess keep developing while playing the slots.

I wouldn't mind splurging on a top quality WR, but Gettleman is a loyal Wal-Mart customer. He'll be looking in the value bins at some truly oddball WRs who might be on their last legs. Some guys you've just never heard of even though they've been in the league for many years.

Now where you might be excited is in the upcoming draft. Gettleman will probably be looking for another big WR to put opposite KB,  with tweener WR/TE Funchess in the slot. The triples towers. Single cover that.

This could actually be a move I see us making. Even with the success we had passing this year it's pretty obvious that we need at least 1 more legit weapon, even with KB coming back. I think Wallace would be a very interesting choice. You know he can absolutely fly, and with the different types of guys we already have, a straight burner would really help things. This might be something we need to keep an eye on....of course that all depends on how much money he is looking for. I don't see us as a player at anything over 5 million a year for someone like him....gonna be a very interesting offseason. We have a lot of cap room, and DG doesn't seem like the kinda GM to just bank that kinda money and rest on his laurels.

If Ginn weren't under contract already for this season, I would say we can explore the option.

But for all the people here who flip their lids over Ginn dropping a pass, they would be livid at how Wallace tends to behave on the field. Remember how he was with the Dolphins? Also, he is only one year younger than Ginn, so that's pretty much not really a factor at all.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?

      If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
