Sounds Like Pure Speculation

Signing him to that contract for 3 years. It was a head-scratcher then and remains so now.

I was wanting to cut him and save the $2M in cap room last year.  Instead of letting him walk and upgrading, we give him a new deal?  Joe Brady is gone, so the TE position actually exists again on this team.  Problem being, we simply don't have a receiving threat.

 Currently the 23rd paid TE by average salary. Whats head scratching about that?thar? That's got to be as low a contract as it gets for a veteran signed this past year 

Do you think he's anywhere close to the 23rd best TE in the league? I don't.

I honestly doubt he would've gotten anywhere near that on the open market.

Outside of Taysom Hill, who is now listed as a TE, this is the cream of the crop here.  There's about 8 more after this, then you get to Thomas.  So you have the top elite and top tier guys, second tier, then Ian Thomas?  I don't buy that at all.  He's getting TE1 money because that's where he's at on the depth chart, not because he's actually TE1 material.

Again, unless Baker totally craps the bed, I want Micheal Mayer in the draft next year.  I don't want to wait almost a freaking decade to fill Olsen's shoes like we did to fill Gross'.

this has been popping up over in reddit as well. It would probbaly be a player swap, like Robbie. Cowboys need a WR bad.. and we need a TE. I dont see this FO sneding out anymore picks especially early ones. 

I’m kind of thinking RA might have a good season with McAdoo’s offense and Baker’s arm.

I think people heard about this salary being high  but never looked at it in detail or with context.

Because he seems to have zero upside and large limitations at this point, so why sign him to that contract?

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
