I think we probably aren’t shopping him too hard but whenever a team is shopping someone they’re going to say they’re not. I’d trade him for a 2nd but doubt a team would bite on that. I wouldn’t give up on his potential for less than that.

I don't understand why we would shop Samuel. His trade value seems marginal at this point, both because he hasn't had the production we anticipated yet and this is a deep wr draft class. He seems to have the most appeal as an elite 3rd wr/gadget player. Now that we have Anderson to slide in as a legit #2, I could see Samuel actually take another step forward. His contract is dirt cheap and we're not gonna replace his production with the late round pick (6th?) that we might get for him. It'd be a high risk, low upside move. The only way you could possibly justify it is if the new leadership sees no immediate future for him in light of all the new wr signings and have no confidence he'll make the 53 so would rather get something than nothing, but that seems moronic. You'd be giving up on a cheap, early 2nd round pick who has shown serious flashes of big play potential so you can give preference to journeyman JAG receivers who are no cheaper or in some cases more expensive. Anyhow I hope the sources are right

There isn't any incentive to trade Samuel! Where's the gain? Let's be serious, he has just as much potential as most of the receivers in this draft, and if JB and MR actually put him into a position to succeed, and with Teddy actually going through his progressions and accurately hitting Samuel in space and hopefully stride, everyone's going to see it.

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      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.
