Yep, he is 29. He still has some years left in him. If he does not want top of the league money and wants something reasonable I see no reason to not try to sign him for a few years here. We should at least explore with his agent right now what he is thinking and what it would take. I simply would not trade him and would use the season to evaluate and form an offer while remaining in contact with he and his agent to see what we can work out. To me it's worth the risk to watch, evaluate and see what happens. If he walks then we lose a later round pick and everyone knows we have thrown those away like crazy already as well as high round picks. Nobody is giving us a high round pick for him so to me it's worth the risk of not acquiring some later round pick for him to see what we can get done with him as well as watch him the rest of the season.

Saying this team has years before competing is being nice…I don’t think it’ll happen ever with Tepper here but with that said I don’t see a reason to keep him and would rather the new staff have more picks.

If they trade Johnson, then they should have just left Bryce in. Team morale would tank immediately. The team knows he's the guy just like everyone else. Johnson is a huge part of XL and Mingo's development. If he doesn't want to re-sign next season, then tag him and trade him then. He'll be worth a lot more after 1000 yards and 10 TDs.

Couple good points in there. If we can't sign him, pump his numbers all the way make him real attractive.

Our guys are two games behind everybody else numbers wise. Dalton has 5 TD passes, double them with two more games his one behind the league leaders.

Not to rude about it but I just think you are wrong. Canales was the first step towards digging out of this poo. 

We could be turned around and headed up the ladder as soon as next year. 

They did okay in their 1st FA and trading, and that focused on offense. Morgan should know who can play defense. We're going to have to weather whatever transition there is from Evero at some point probably. That's where we could hit a snag, if there is new scheme.

Tag next year for WR is 25 million. While I would love to work out a deal with him for 2-3 years at 20yr a tag is not the worst idea.  You’d get to keep him for the season. If if you moved on from him in the off-season he’d prob still could get traded for a mid round pick. And if you stick with him and play the tag out gives XL and Mingo another year to keep devolving.  I hadn’t thought to tag him but not the worst idea.

After this first half if we use that 20mil I wanted to spend on him to address our front 7 instead of using on a wideout I’m not mad about it.

Yea. I think this thread is even more relevant then more we continue to lose. 

I say trade his ass. Full rebuild 

 We shouldn't be handing anyone any big contracts 

MAYBE resign if he wants a reasonable deal but I debuted it. He probably wants to get out of Carolina anyway .

      How am I all over the place?  I'm still saying that. I'm saying that Chark at his best and T-Mac right now, on the same team right now for the 2025 season, T-Mac would be ahead of him on the depth chart Week 1. Because in the same way everyone is saying, "T-Mac hasn't played a snap in the NFL yet", the very same is true to say, "nothing Chark did in his past matters moving forward" His peak was a 1,008 yard season where he was the only decent WR on a terrible team.  He didn't put up the 1k yard season because he was a great WR, it was because of how bad the rest of them on the team were. His stats aren't the same as his ability, and his ability was never all that good to begin with. Hell, most of this board agrees that T-Mac is our #1 right now, even if Thielen is Bryce's #1 option early in the saeson just because of the comfort level there, he's still just a slot safety valve and T-Mac is our #1. If you put peak Chark on the roster RIGHT NOW (even without T-Mac)... is anyone even putting him over Thielen, XL, or Coker going into this season? I'm honestly not sure many of us would consider him as such, because even at his best, he was just a JAG.  So if the same people who are okay with T-Mac being ahead of those guys right now, wouldn't put Chark above them, how can you in the same breath say Chark was better than T-Mac already is now?

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
