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.

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledge he would be to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t

      Saturday roll call

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant

      So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
