Don't forget Christenson is already 24... he should be pretty much ready.

True.  He just needs to acclimate to the NFL.  Hopefully he'll be in on more than the 6% of snaps that Moton did his rookie year.

Stupid decision. TE3 getting 15th highest cap on the entire team? So dumb. How many drops a day does he need to have to finally be done with him. We aren’t resigning him next year so why spend $2.2M when all of it is able to be saved because it’s salary. Only a tiny bit of signing bonus (under $200k) left. 

Called for this cut once we signed Arnold to a nice deal and drafted Tremble on day 2.  Thomas is overpaid for a backup TE.  

Footnote: I also said he wouldn't amount to much either.

I don't think cut, but he probably won't be starting. 

If he ain’t starting no reason not to cut his ass u gain another 2 mil in cap space. You have Arnold and Tremble is going to have to see the field with his tremendous blocking. Ian Thomas will not make this team.

20 receptions as TE1 for a QB who didn’t like to go downfield is awful. We sign a new TE1 and draft a 3rd round TE. He’s not even close to worth the cap hit. We’ve seen what seems like reported drops every practice and his miss led directly to an INT today. I roll with Arnold and Tremble and see what is available after cuts.

I agree.  I just don't trust Thomas on 3rd down anymore.

I go back years wanting us to upgrade the TE position, ever since Olsen's FIRST foot injury.  This year wasn't the deepest or most top heavy draft for TEs, but at least we got one.  I was heavily on the Dallas Goedert bandwagon.  What was that, like 4 years ago?

Yes by looking at Chinn and others who were drafted and started last year

That was out of neccessity tho.  ATM BC is taking reps behind Moton.  Indications are, at this point, he's a backup.  You think that will change?

We only save $502K if we cut him. Might as well let it play out with him as depth.

FWIW, Arnold is on the books for 2022 as well, so it would be a clean break after this season.

 

EDIT: I am reading this correctly, right?

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
