Hard to eat that kind of dead money on a WR. If he becomes a weekly malcontent that's jeopardizing the team, then you do what you have to do. Otherwise, let's try to salvage the relationship. Emotions are high right now. 

Trading him helps our cap situation next year immensely. Its very easy to eat his contract because it would put us under the cap next year.... this is the most perfect move for us at this juncture. There is far more benefit in trading him. Keeping him is the worst thing we could do.

“You have a model that you plan out, and you can go out three years with it,” Fitterer said of how he and the organization maps out their contract extensions. “And you look at where the cap may be next year, the year after you project where that’s gonna be at, where you’re at right now, who’s up. Robby was the right guy at this time to do it and we’ll keep going with other guys as we go forward.”

 

I'm pretty sure we all know how you feel about Fitterer at this point 🙄

Roger that. If trading him is a strategic move to manipulate the cap... so be it. I just don't think you trade him because of yesterday's outburst.

I think his outburst yesterday tanked whatever value he had left.  Probably lucky to get a 7th at this point.  He is an illiterate child.

I think thats why they put him on podium, to try to salvage whatever he tanked with his outburst. If no one trades for him, I dont see us releasing him until the offseason bc of the out we have in his contract. Most likely put him on the IR and send him home.

They restructured  his contract during the Watson thing so we owe him that bonus money either way. It's the same  $9.7M dead cap hit and $12M saved next year whether we cut him or trade him

He took all the credit when he signed the extension.  Not a good look.

 

He is like a peacock in this video

 

Watched the entire video and he didn't actually praise Robbie until the very last question.  He repeated it that is was Robbie's time based on which of our WRs was next up for a new/extended contract--at least 4 times through multiple questions.  It was about process.  He made that abundantly clear.

we get an additonal 1.3m this year if we trade/cut him this year. It goes to the 2022 cap and then would carry over into next year.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
