I think it is a huge stretch at this juncture to categorize Bryce Young as "on the rise."

I don’t know about huge stretch. I do agree it would be a stretch.
 

it will be interesting to see how Bryce Young performs now that the pressure to perform is off.

Pretty sure the Broncos have an out in that contract after this season. Safe to say they're gonna jump on it.

Not unless they want to cap hell for a while. The first semi-reasonable out they have is after 2024. If they cut him prior to Mar. 21st of 2024, the 2025 guaranteed money goes away(it is the full 2025 salary, BTW). But they would have $85 mil in dead money.

Not only that, they don’t have cheap talent on the roster because they gave away both 1 and 2 in 2022 and 2023 draft. Gave away another 1st for Sean Payton. That’s rough

They would be something like $68 million over the cap by cutting him. They are projected already to be almost $19 mil over the cap in 2024.

The best thing they can probably do is basically trade him away and keep a substantial amount of his salary. That is the only near term option. Outside of that, wait until 2025/2026 to cut him.

They just need to let him cook until 2026.

I wish the Broncos the worst and only the worst. I hope they don't see the playoffs for more than a decade.

Hate the Pats and Belichick with a passion and rooting for Belichick not to pass Shula but I found myself pulling for them against Payton, Wilson and the Broncos. fug that organization and those guys so hard. Hope they miss the playoffs for 25 straight years

I am going to root for the Pats in the last two games. I want them to fug themselves out of a new QB in the draft.

Man we have had a lot of lows this year and still don't have the 1st, but it could always be worse. Feels good to have an on the rise rookie QB after seeing this. They're going to have to eat 35M in cap hit just next year on him

on the rise?

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
