Do we attempt to extend Diontae this season?

We shouldn't consider a trade unless we get a REALLY good offer; like a 1st rounder.

Even then I wouldn't consider that unless Diontae has communicated to us that he doesn't plan to re-sign here. Based on his play so far he's more valuable than a 1st rounder we'd likely use to take a flyer on another receiver to replace him.

People are assuming he doesn't want to be here, but we don't know that at all. The only thing we do know is he wants to be paid; I imagine if we offer him a contract he's happy with any reservations he may (or may not) have will pretty quickly disappear.

I would love to keep him and expect him to keep performing. His Instagram post yesterday literally has a picture of I Need Money from the movie How High. He'll be wanting a pay day I imagine over a contender. 

I don't have IG so didn't see his post but this is the sense I get from him. He doesn't care about playing for a contender as much as getting his bag.

I could never fault him. In his position he needs that big pay day once and that has to take priority especially at his age.

If we are out of contention or heading that way and Johnson is on his way out.  It would be stupid of us not to try to get some value out of him.   We have to listen to offers.  A second round pick would be minimum I would take but we have to make the decision based on the future not right now.  

I would love more than anything to sign him to a long term deal but I honestly don't think he plans on being here after 2024.

Take what we can get.

He's obviously going to have to get his payday. I think that whether we extend him depends upon the terms and expectations. 

I don't think that we should be in the business of giving talent away unless it's ultimately beneficial to the team. If nothing else, DJ has proven that he's a route god. People here have been saying that's what we need for years, and now you just want to let him walk without even exploring an extension with him? Come on. He's a QB's best friend. You have to at least try.

    • Yes they are. Everyone gets awarded the GWD based on the same standards. The qualifiers   My beef is it just isn’t a good stat because the qualifiers are all over the place.  You can get a GWD for essentially going three and out and the bringing on the kicker, at 11:58 in the 4th quarter.   And it counts the same as you got the ball on your 25 with 2:18 left in the game and one timeout and orchestrated a perfect two minute drill ending in a TD or a kick as the clock ticked off the last seconds.    Those are just not the same. They shouldn’t count the same. IMO. And the only way to know that a guy’s GWD was the classic 2 minute drill for a last second kick, or if he came in after a turnover and handed it off a couple of times and the kicker came on with 12 minutes to go, and made the final margin, is to look at the drive charts.
