Awesome contract, even if we wanted to move him before it’s up he’s a valuable asset in a trade on this contract.

I think I’ve lost track on what is a good contract so I’ll take your word on it. But sounds like a lot for someone who is probably better of coming of the bench.

it's short and only 16m/yr

look at the players around him and those with bigger contracts than him, plenty of guys I take PJ over in a heartbeat and he is still young with potential. He averaged over 15pts/game last year on ok %s, is solid defensively and on the boards, even if he doesn't get any better, this contract is not an issue and easily tradeable if need be. 

He may be better off the bench but there are plenty of guys who do come off the bench making more so that wouldn't make it a bad contract. And as is I think this should be our starting 5:

PG: LaMelo

SG: Miller

SF: Miles

PF: PJ

C: Mark

Meh....not really excited about this because im not high on PJ and i absolutely did not want to overpay for him. I think he has underachieved since his rookie year. Thing is, i actually was high after his rookie year cuz he showed a lot of promise then the inconsistency started. Miles ended up jumping ahead of him far as a priority player so i thought we would never end up keeping both. I will say this deal is pretty reasonable so im not pissed and he can be traded in the future easily with a deal like this.

Meh we're not doing much in the foreseeable future I could see him improving just as much as I could see him remaining the same inconsistent player he's been to this point. But I like PJ. I'd rather pay guys like him than have bums like Hayward keeping the bench warm all season for a hundred plus million.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
