They certainly sent a message when they picked up Darnold's option and jumped on overpaid bad OL at the opening bell of free agency. Unfortunately, it wasn't the message they intended.

The message:

Just wait till you see what they give up for Jimmy G. or someone even worse.  I suppose they could convince Watson to come here for 50M a season after they give the Texans 3 1sts and half of our core players. That should do it. What a splash that would be right?

I've been predicting a move for Jimmy G for months if we go the vet route again. I'll honestly he pretty surprised if our QB isn't either Jimmy G or Kenny Pickett... and that's fuging horrifying.

Well send our 2023 1st for Jimmy G and draft Pickett, keep PJ as our 3rd string, convert darnold to HB/TE, and make Cam our slot receiver. That should give us enough QBs to make it to week 7 behind our line.

I think there would be teams willing to pay more to move up to get one of the young edge rushers rather than take Burns off our hands. If both kids are available they'd might be willing to deal with someone else to move up rather than be talked into dealing with us for Burns. There would be takers for Burns on Draft Night and maybe later if we picked up one of those guys but I'm not sure we'd get as much as the OP suggests. That said it still might be a viable option depending on how the board falls and what the offers are.

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's mostly me. I came into the season basically believing he was not ever going to be the guy but with a little bit of wait and see. It didn't take long of me seeing before I saw he was the same guy he has largely always been. Maybe in some future scenario 3-5 years from now he is confident enough to be a decent NFL QB. I don't really want to be the team waiting for that to happen. Let his 3rd, 4th, 5th or whatever team be the ones that figure it out.

      Naw let him get to Tampa and crack his old fragile body with Radsom or Trey M I’d love to see him get rocked by this raw defense. He’s a fool thinking he would leave us for greener pastures I’m glad it played out this way should’ve stayed loyal to the ones who really wanted you.

      And a legitimate question to ask is what does this offense look like once Bryce is off his rookie contract? How is that offensive line going to look? We have a ton of money invested up front and that is 100% unsustainable with Bryce making starting QB money. Icky and Moton are going to be 50m per season plus the guards at 32 and possibly Mays at 6-8 if we're lucky. Add in Bryce and that's 125m just on those 6 players if we tried to keep them all. It's just not doable.  So then the real question IMO becomes, if we spent the money on our OL, and less on a QB, would the outcome be that much different? I haven't seen Bryce elevate the offense enough by himself on a consistent basis to warrant the contract we would have to give him, not to mention the players we would have to give up, based on the accelerations of the bonuses as I understand them, would likely include Icky.
