5TH year option is fine, but in no way do you verbalize that a long term deal could be worked on this year.  

[Soul Rebel]

$26M on year 5 is between Baker and Fields current salaries. 
I’d say in two years that’s probably below that talent level.

As has been discussed already, it buys us time to figure out the long-term solution. I’d be more upset if we extend him before the end of the ‘26 season.

Next up, 5 year 260m extension with a 155m signing bonus. Will be done before draft time. Other franchises move on from their mistakes. Panthers double, triple down, bet the house and their 1st born child that Bryce will defy 60 years of NFL history. We are so fuging stupid.

I don’t see how this is controversial in the slightest. We're simply buying some more time to make a long term decision. That way, we can use valuable resources to improve other areas and there are plenty of those.

That and if you actually look at the alternate path, who would be the next QB? The FA market from what I see... no, thank you. And this upcoming QB class... yeesh. It's so easy to talk about replacing a QB, but Vikings gambled on McCarthy over Darnold and that completely blew up in their faces.

As for a long term contract, I still hold onto the philosophy that even for "franchise" QB's, it's not worth it once the cap hit forces you to lose other players on the team as a consequence.

My alternative, tell Bryce he's playing on his final year and we're bringing in competition for the starting role. His play hasn't earned a 5th year option. Everyone seems to be hung up on these wins while forgetting how badly our offense looked all season from the QB position, minus a single game in Atlanta. His play has been backup caliber. 

Brissett, a backup that signed for 6 million per season, just threw for 3300 yards and 23/8 in Arizona in 14 games, with 12 of those being starts. Daniel Jones was having a resurgence before injury took his season. When you're playing less than backup quality, you don't deserve to have a guaranteed starter position for 2 years, especially when the 2nd year is 26.5m.

I know many of us are already looking forward to a stat line of 10/22 for 74 yards 1 td 1 int.

For the entire game.

Next season is just around the corner now.

the 27th ranked offense is back baby!!! 

If you only focus on like 3 games and ignore the rest, it's pretty dang good stuff!  Said, every poor performer in NFL history.

Why don't you apply those same standards to Young?

BY shoulda been Howell'd after his rook season. But no...we are going to trot him out there another year...like he grew 5" and has a strong arm and processing abilities. We need someone for when hes benched next year. It wouldn't take much to beat him out in competition...if there wasn't an agenda.
