Fit talking to "2 or 3 players" about extensions

Me either, but I don't see a lot of players on the roster that are extension worthy, or in a good spot to receive on other than DJ, and possible Jackson....maybe.

It's not Jansen, or any of the O line I don't think.  Maybe PJ?

I’m on the fence about Donte Jackson too. Not sure if we’d be better off cost-wise letting him walk in favor of what we have already with Bouye, Pride etc. or wait to upgrade next offseason.

Moore for certain. 

Anderson, I wouldn't negotiate that until we see if that wasn't a flash in the pan last year. After week 5, Robby didn't post a single 100-yard game and really only 3 over 50 yards. True, this was one of his only 16 game seasons, but either he ran out of gas as the season went on, or teams figured out how to jam him up. Sometime around week 12 we should know what the story is there. 

Donte... yeah, let's get some more games under his belt. He improved a lot last year, and once again, we need a better view of whether that was the ceiling or just the beginning of something better.

Burns, yeah, we need to get that extension signed sooner rather than later. I believe this will be his break out year.

really hope frit does not take the god awful hurney/gettleman approach of no contract talk/extensions during the season. that approach has let some real talent walk out our doors

Was my thought as well.  None of the rest, outside of DJ make much sense, unless it's just ST guys or something.

When Rhule was throwing out the names of guys he considered to be team leaders in his presser, he mentioned Paradis.

I don't think Burns is an option for an extension.  Pretty sure a player has to have 3 years of service first.

The Art of the Rookie Extension Deal - Inside The Pylon

Most teams look at extensions one year out from becoming a free agent.  You can extend 2 out, but that is a risky precedence to set, all the players start expecting yet.  An exception to this would be 1st round picks who you have a 5th year option on, so I could see Moore being a possibility.

Notable free agents next year:

Anderson, Jackson, Paradis

Moore seems the most likely, his value will probably only go up.

Anderson maybe a short term extension?

Jackson, sign him before his value goes up if you are confident in his production improving?

Paradis, he has a good bit of dead money next year, you could probably extend him and actually soften the cap hit next year.

Unless Donte's lawyer just goes ballistic. I would expect DJs offer to be rather reasonable. Of course if he blows up this year, that may change things just a little. But I still wouldn't expect an outlandish offer.

I think that was just Gettleman. Don't remember Hurney doing that. 

Fitterer addressed this question in his press conference opening camp:

"My philosophy would be when the time's right, who the player is, who the agent is. If it's natural. If it's the right time to do it. I'm not going to say we're never going to talk during the season. I'm not going to say we're always going to talk. It's just kind of a case a case situation."

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
