Dude is a 3rd WR at this point in his career. I still want them to double down on rookie WRs

I agree. But I’d be ok with him being a 2 if we can get a true #1.

WR is just one of those positions people will have to accept overpaying this year either money or in years because of how it is. But I’d rather do that than ruin our #1 overall development.

Agreed. Not expecting much from Thielen surprised we gave him 3 years. Hopefully he can make some good red zone snags or something but we still need to draft a WR. 

If he stays healthy he's the most reliable pass catching option on the team by a mile and that's beyond meaningful

The 3 year deal sounds like cap manipulation to me, not a chance they are expecting 3 years out of him.  The final year or two is probably either voidable or won’t have any effect on the cap if he’s cut.  We haven’t seen the numbers yet but this front office is smart enough to structure it that way to save cap space for this year.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious.

      We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
