I do trust Tillis here and feel like this gives Canales a game manager at QB on a “cheap” deal while spending money elsewhere. At its peak, $26M in 2027 is middle of the road AAY for NFL QBs in 2025. It would sandwich him between Justin Fields and Baker Mayfield.

This gives them time to add speed/separation at WR, a bonafide TE threat, lock up Icky, find Moton’s replacement, , find a guy to wear the dot at LB, find an edge guy opposite Scourton, add a DL to pair with DB while he’s still in his prime and figure out the secondary. 
 

This move, if it happens, does not guarantee Bryce is the QB beyond 2026. It does not also mean he is signing a long-term deal either. 
 

Why do they need time to find all those things?

Replace the QB with a competent NFL vet in FA and see what you've actually got at your O skill positions. 

We're not in a position to continue treading water with Young at QB. It's time to progress as a franchise.

Picking it up basically guarantees him here 2 more years due to the cost.  Furthermore I doubt he is going into year 5 without an ext so basically now we are going to need 4 years to see if he can actually play.  Up to now I think any reasonable fan can see this experiment isnt working.   I would not go cold turkey I would sign someone this offseason as well as draft a guy.  

 

So again I dont see any real value of the 5th

I understand, but bringing someone in who will actually improve the situation is no guarantee. They're all damaged goods in some sense. Could we get marked improvement? Maybe. We surely would hope so, but it's still not guaranteed. And as for the draft, honestly we'd probably have to have a lot of luck involved, provided that we don't spend round 1 and/or 2 draft capital. Do we really want to do that notwithstanding other needs that are wanting? That's a discussion. 

I don't see it as guaranteeing him two more years of being the starter, especially how he plays. Unless the light switch comes on and we see something totally different than what we've seen for the last three seasons, I don't know that Bryce lasts even another full season. Even the Tepper's have to have come-to-Jesus moments, and I just can't see Dan And Dave testing the pliability of their job strings by continuing to let Bryce continue to hot and cold. I see the option, if they exercise it, as a going through the motions---a cost-effective one last gasp at trying to save a sunk cost.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
