I probably don’t understand these things, but isn’t it for just 2 years ? 
My thinking is, if Marshall and Sly are good, not injury prone etc .

so after 2 years DJ Moore will have his contact and the others still on a rookie contract.( if they are as good as we hope ) . And Robby might have to move on..

And Robby will be 30 when he is in the last year of his deal. That's normally about the time span you expect a WR to start their decline. Similar to how the CMC deal was, we seem to have hit the mark on the average time an NFL player is effective at their position when we structured some of these deals. Intentional or not.

Our plans for DJ are ultimately up to DJ.  He balls out he gets paid.   It's that simple.   Whether it's us or someone else.  I think we will be fine if it's not us.  It's a good problem to have.

If we're contenders by then Robby might resign cheap for the last couple years of his career, biggest concern is Shaq making 18 mil the next couple years.

3, but only the first two are essentially guaranteed.

The Bucs with Godwin and Evans is a fair example.  They have two guys with a roughly 33 mil/yr investment with 2 younger promising guys in Darden and T Johnson.  Same with Beckham and Landry.

Looking around the league right now, many teams have around 30-35 mil invested in either 2 top guys or 3 with 1 obvious mainstay.  Teams that have under 30 mil invested in WRs have a lot of young unproven talents or landed some great draft picks in the last 3 years.  Reasonable to think we carry two nice WR contracts in 2022 with 2 potential studs coming out of this draft and don't believe it is breaking the bank.

And if Darnold doesn't work out (rooting otherwise) and we land a rookie QB, we've got some time before we need to pay the QB room and will have a really really nice window with our homebuilt team from 2022-2026

Even if Darnold DOES work out, he's not getting top of the market money. No where close. Darnold needs to show 2+ seasons of high level play to get a big contract. This is why he is a low risk high upside signing.

Well, the issue with that is that he only has this season and next. So, if he blows up this year, do you risk that last year of his deal to be a tiebreaker? I suppose we have a franchise tag to use on him to extend that period. 

Which......I am completely down to have the "problem" of having to decide how much to pay a QB that has been playing lights out for us.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
