Said it then and I'll say it now....terrible move, it was one thing to trade for him by why double down and pick up the 2nd year option. It's fully guaranteed!!!

It's like buying a car with 200,000 miles and letting it be your only form of transportation. 

Yeah, the trade hurts now because hindsight, but I still didn't mind the trade when it happened. We gave up some draft picks to try and find our franchise QB who was still young and we thought we could fix him. I'm ok with that.

What I DIDN'T like is (like you said) doubling down on him before he even took a snap for us. Why not wait and see what you have before making a commitment? Also, not drafting some protection for your new QB that you are trying to "fix" was also a red flag. This many terrible decisions is why we will be a bottom dweller team for a long time.

Same. I didn't mind the trade (I wanted to give up a 3rd not a 2nd). But we basically brought a girl with a sketchy history a 18 million dollar engagement ring with a no refund policy before we even went on a date with her

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

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
