Let's say for a moment this was all due to Greg and TD(plus outside senior players)

Would you have rather given inflated extensions to the Veterans. I say inflated due to holdout rumors.

Or spread out reasonable contracts to all of our young upcoming players(I.E: Turner, Short). 

We have 15 million in cap space. I feel like Gettlemagic could have got both done. Without inflated extensions. 

 

Something tells me this was way more than business and money. This was personal. 

 

But if you had to choose, which would you choose?

This is a business. Going for a Super Bowl trophy not a Participation Trophy. Teams don't have unlimited cap space. Need to spend wisely. No DG not perfect and he could of handled releases much better but he brought this team great success and in great position for the future until his firing.

I will go on record and say I agreed with the Norman decision.  Not so much Smith but it was understandable at least as this needed to be Cam's team to lead.  I would not have agreed with release TD or Olsen however.  DeAngelo I completely agreed with that.

That's why I'm saying, there's something deeper than contracts.

There probably is, but for now with the surprised news we all have to take a clear stance one way or the other. Thats how the internet works nowadays, you cant just be calm and let it play out like the good ole days.

      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.
