Read this morning that Ryan has played only 14 games in the past 2 season and counts for $9.9 mil against our cap this year. It concerns me we haven't released him or forced him to restructure that contract heading into FA. I know he still has value and he said this was his last year, but this is exactly the kind of business decision Hurney must learn to make. I was encouraged by the release of Stewart, but this is discouraging. I would tell Ryan we love you, but we need to restructure this contract or your farewell tour will be in the uniform of some other team (similar to the way Gettleman handled Gross and Smitty, with a little more tact).

We don't need to restructure, we need to either negotiate a pay cut, or release.

 

That said, Ryan is AWFULLY important to Cam and our running game...not to mention we are likely losing Norwell, and we will have a fresh face in there at LG.

Yeah, it's pretty much impossible at this point to restructure him without extending him. And you certainly can't extend a guy who's retiring next year.

Definitely hoping he plays more this year than he has previous years. Otherwise that contract is going to be a disaster.

Its a deep draft for C/G. There is perhaps the notion that you see how you come away there on draft weekend and if you feel confident with what you obtain then you June 1 him. If not, then at least you've got the position locked down for another year.

We need Kalil. That’s the problem. We’re about to lose Norwell. It’s worth keeping the line consistent to have Kalil on the roster. There’s a big drop off between him and Larsen.

Can't be consistent when you aren't on the field honestly.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Below average? Seriously?? That is wild AF My man we ain't watching the same game... And I'm hard-pressed to believe you're watching the same film coaches are either if that is the take you honestly believe... I've been to almost every home game at BOA over the past 20 years... I've seen a lot of bad QB play over the past 7 years. Anybody that wasn't truly impressed by what Bryce did what the cast-offs he had to work with at the end of last year is delusional. His top 3 weapons were a 34 undrafted guy, a 7th round journeyman, and an UDFA rookie... seriously, what are we doing here??!! Some of these takes are beyond outlandish... You admitted yourself you're comparing Bryce to a guy you didn't even watch but are cherry picking stats for... So go back to your eyeballs and make it simple... how much NFL football have you watched my man?? Bc to me and my eyeball test, Bryce blew it out of the effing water down the stretch. What QBs are you watching playing so much better than him that you feel confident in saying "below average?" If you watched that and came away with anything else, we ain't watching the same thing... But beyond the eyeball test, every advanced metric in the book backs it up also... so again, what are you seeing that no one else is?? You think just anybody is going out there and dueling with Mahomes & Hurts with an almost comical inferior supporting cast and doing that? Whatever, to each their own, but it is wild to pull for a team where so many people feel compelled to crap on your QB after he just pulled maybe the greatest in-season turn around in league history and was playing by any eyeball test (for anyone that has watched an appreciable amount of NFL football) or even the advanced metrics for that matter.

      You don't talk about TMac's QB that way!

      Why would we not be contenders? As long as Bryce plays like he did when he came back, we absolutely can be contenders...that is...   if the defense plays better... which is why adding someone like Ramsey when we have a QB on a rookie deal and can afford it makes sense IMO. No one thought of the Commanders being contenders last year or the Texans the year before and so on and so forth. Top-end QB play, especially for a guy on a rookie deal, changes everything in terms of timelines. Regardless of what this board thinks, I hope the front office is willing to he aggressive in thks window we currently have with a rookie QB deal
