Dan just said a long term contract for BY this year is still an option.

 

has he done enough to warrant the 5th year option? yes.

has he done enough to warrant a long-term contract? NOPE. unless it's a team friendly deal where they can easily cut him without huge cap ramifications then sure.

Okay, that sounds a little better than I expected. That was basically a non-answer. 

Listen, if you're considering handing out a franchise QB contract that's not something you're casually talking through. That's top of mind, first thing on the docket stuff.

I imagine they will start to explore what his side wants so they can be prepared.

It didn’t sound like something he wanted to do.

Well it depends on the price, if he's willing to get paid like the 20th best QB, I'm fine with a long term contract lol.  But if he wants top 10 or 15 money, nope. 

So you're not a fan of winning football games then?

How has he not? you get him for another year for $26MM which is reasonable for his level of performance.  Do you think you can get a better QB on the free agent market for that same amount?

He hasn't but you have to remember that we are talking from the "franchises perspective" when a lot of us are saying "earned."

I don't think many of us actually want this to happen but this coaching staff, FO and owner are way more convinced.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
