Hell I might throw an extension his way before he gets more expensive. He is a decent young LT with even more upside 

Eh....you know I would rather wait a little bit and end up overpaying for a great player than pay too early and find out they are not a great player.

I really intensely dislike that move in all but a few cases.

Yeah I don't want to hear any extensions talk for anyone on this team. Anyone not already extended will not be extended until the end of the season, if at all. You don't hand out big contracts to players on the worst team in the league. It's loonisy to even consider it.

That’s fair. I’m assuming he will look better if we actually keep him in the same offensive in consecutive years… Regardless his play this year has to be towards the bottom of things I’m concerned about.

Yeah, the only guy I am probably having that discussion with is Johnson's agent in case we start getting viable trade offers. If he has zero desire to stick around or wants bananas money, you would be foolish to not consider trade offers.

True. Fitterer would have offered him a 5 year extension after the raiders game.

I would try to trade Johnson myself. This team is in no shape to be paying big money to a wr right now. It's time time draft and play those players and take our lumps. Worry about signing our own drafted receiver to a long term contract if we ever draft one worth it.

Understandable. I was thinking he would be cheap right now and he wouldn’t have to worry about LT for a while.

To me that is about two prices. The price Johnson wants and the trade offers we get. If he's reasonably affordable(sub-20 mil APY), I keep him and extend.

If we get offered more than a 4th, that's an incentive to move him by the trade deadline.

That was an overpayment on a FA we just signed. Much similar to DJ now who people are wanting to extend. Icky would be a player we drafted in year 3 of his contract. It’s still early on Icky because we get that 5th year option and some of these other expensive OL might be off the books by then.

Paying him now does not remove the worry about LT. I would not extend him until I had to because, as you've seen, you do not know how the season will play out or who may be available in the draft. Patience padawon.

I'm just not enamored with what he brings to this team in it's current state. To me it would be a wasted contract without a future qb to develop with him. Until we have that it's just not financially feasible to invest big in receivers when you don't have a qb and probably won't for a couple more seasons yet. I think they should just keep drafting them and let the cream rise to the top. When they do that's who you throw money at.

    • I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.
    • Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
    • Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
