Nothing serious just a game to tide us all over till the game when it comes to the KK contract would you rather..

A. Like for him to have another monster year. Thereby commanding to be paid top DT money. Which going on 28 years old would be in the Suh, Marcell Dareus range of 95 to 114 million or..

B. Have a "down year" by his standards with more moderate sack numbers that could be used as leverage by the FO to get him to sign a contract more inline with the top 10 to 15 defensive players in the league. A regression to the mean so to speak with last years numbers being more of an outlier

Each choice of course has its own pros and cons. going with A, you risk him not living up to the contract which judging by how a lot of DT get after they get paid is always a strong possibility. Tying up so much in one player could cost us somewhere else. On the other hand the pros are self-evident. Getting interior pressure is rare and makes the entire defense that much better.

Going with B, somewhere between 6 to 8 sacks and fewer pressures. Sign a lower contract along with the possibility of someone else emerging on the DLine. less money paid overall of course protects cap space and could be used for other moves but not as much production from KK.

I would like KK to repeat last years play (not stats)....but get even better play from Star and good play from Butler.

I think if those around him make more plays it helps with his contract.  We still benefit from great interior play it just isn't seen on one man's stats 

but I can't get on board with not wanting him to play as good

Huge year and win a Super Bowl. If the contract doesn't work itself out after that then sincerely thank him for his contribution with the team and go with Butler. He'd get his money somewhere else+a ring and wed get our ring + money to spend on upcoming contracts. Win win. Obviously I hope we can keep him either way but I can't see Gettleman paying that much for him.

      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.
