Right, I got mixed up. There are contracts with voidable years that don't automatically void but Kalil's will. So yes I think an extension for him is possible as well, however I could also see us looking at C in the draft or even putting Remmers there and going with Williams at RT.

Definitely possible but I fear Remmers may cost too much for what he is. I'm waiting to see what Bobby Massie got. He's right there in line with Remmers from a play standpoint. I'd rather stick with the known quantity of Kalil provided he still wants to play rather than overpay Remmers and move him to C.

Kalil is better than Mack and the same age and he just got paid a sh*tload by the Falcons. I want him here for the rest of his career but we've got a lot of guys to pay and Kalil may not be a priority considering his age. Really I have no clue at all what Remmers' worth is throughout the league. Other teams may be stupid as they always are, but I don't think Remmers would be a reliable starter anywhere else. That being said, I also have no idea how good he is at C, if he could even play it. I just remember the speculation in camp and practices when he was taking snaps there with Williams first team RT. If we don't extend Kalil, I hope we can get Ryan Kelly in the second round. He's really similar to Kalil from what I've seen (and not just his name...).

He's provided stability in our return game and is really our best home-run threat on offense and was crucial to what we did last year. Even with KB back and him in a situational role, he'll still be crucial to our offense's success. Cost is of course a factor, but he really didn't have such a huge year considering he was forced into the starting role and hasn't had success elsewhere. Don't think it'd cost any more now than it would after next year and unless we can get his replacement in the return game in the draft I think we'll still need him after next year.

I'm a big Ginn fan, but he definitely out played his contract last season . I doubt this would be the best time to negotiate. I'd love to keep him around a few more years provided he stays productive.  Like you said, he's our only real punt returner fight now.

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
