That might be an option.  I was looking at the expected prices of the top ten an they are out of our range I think.  

Yeah I was looking at the same thing.. All the top teir edge rushers are going north of 16mil.. So the Clowney, Clark, Lawrence, and Flowers guys are probably staying with their teams or going to the highest bidder.  Which aren't either.. Guys like Barr will get paid as well.. Looking at Sporadic cap calculations for each team.. 

We can either go the older vet looking for a last contract route (Derrick Morgan, Brandon Graham, maybe Ansah)..

Or the younger change of scenery bust guys (Ray, Fowler, Arron Lynch, Eli Harold) types..

Cheap is a relative term.. He is still young and a 1st round talent.. So around 6 to 8 mil might get him to pick us over another team..

$6-8M for Shane Ray? Please God let him choose another team then.

This would be like some other fanbase wanting Vernon Butler simply because he's a former 1st round pick.

$6-8M... LOLOLOLOL!!!

You might be right.. 6 to 8 might be over bidding..

3 to 5 might be more realistic.. But youth and him once being seen as a 1st round talent will count for something with some teams we will be competing for his services against..

If Tre Boston is getting $9m per year and we are paying Reid $8m per year and Mathieu/Harris $10m per year, why not Ray at $6-8m? Heck Ray’s 4 year stats compare well to Ealy’s 3 year stats with us. At least Ealy was healthy. 

Boston getting more than Reid??? Wowwww

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
