Love KK and I'm drunk in Amsterdam right now. But GMan gonna GMan. We have the deepest set of DTs in the NFL. No one's going to push the front office around. That said KK and his 11 sacks makes me wish he would accept a life time supply of bojangles for vet min. He is one player that is without a doubt one of the best and if Gman wants him he has to pay him.

the rumor is he wants $17 million/year and dave's top dollar offer is $15 million

Man, that's a lot of dough.  Short shouldn't expect to get that kind of money based on what he's done so far.  I think he's looking at going into the season and earning that kind of amount. (Perhaps more if he really does damage to offenses this year.)

He will be 28 by the end of this season. He's no spring chicken.

While true, that is 2 more solid seasons of hopefully outstanding play we'd miss on the hopes that a rookie will pan out quickly in Butler.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
