Bryce Contract Extension - Hypothetical

If you could extend Bryce’s contract right now for 3 years, $30mil per year, would you do it?

Geno Smith is currently paid as the #19QB at avg of $25mil/year. 

#18 is Baker Mayfield at ~$33mil/year. 

You’re essentially betting on Bryce being a top 20 QB for the next 5 years. 

Upside: If Bryce plays as a top 10-15 QB, you have a steal and can surround Bryce with more weapons. Probably saving somewhere between $15-30mil per year by then. If you wait until after next season, and Bryce plays like he did at the end of last year, the price goes way up. 
 

Downside: If Bryce plays like Year 1 or early Year 2, you’ve locked yourself into 5 more years of it on the cap. 
 

So, if Bryce and his agent were ready to sign off on it, would you?

Hell no. For the first time since he initially took the field as a rookie I'm legitimately excited to see him and somewhat hopeful he may actually pan out. But hopeful enough to give him a nearly $100M contract? Hell no!

And honestly, if he and his camp were willing to sign it that would be a massive red flag. That would pretty much tell you that they think they caught lightning in a bottle late last season and his value is maxed out.

No. Risk outweighs any rewards. If he's balling by the end of year 3 you pay him market rate and don't look back.

This right here. 

No agent is going to have his player sign an extension only 2 years into the league.  The OP is hypothetical poo that on works when playing madden.

I wouldn’t. We need to see more of the last game of the season from him before that happens. I understand he can’t do that every game, but high level play consistently for a majority of the year would warrant an extension in my eyes. Until then, they should roll with the contract he has currently.

What has he won, maybe 5 games in 2 years?  His play has improved, but you have to consider that he REQUIRES a $100m OL to be successful, so it seems.

He had a good November and December.  Before that, he was going to be cut.  We have time to see more, and I realize the cost goes up.  In my view, any player who sucks for 2 years and then the light comes on should give that team a hometown discount.  We could have traded him away for a conditional pick.  We could have benched him permanently and ruined his brand.  Instead, they showed faith in him and we took losses while he was figuring it out making over $500k per game.  It hurt the fan base, it hurt merchandising, ticket sales, etc.  We had more jerseys from visiting teams in our stands humiliating us at home while a first overall draft pick is figuring it out. Then after everyone sacrificed for him, if he were to demand top dollar I would take that personally.  I know, twisted thinking.  Not how bizness works, but I do not think I can give him $30m per right now when I feel slimy giving him $10m on his rookie deal.  Still, I am hopeful that his growth continues.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
