Would we work out a long term deal for him?  obviously, we would want to if we are giving up multiple picks for him

Tell Gross this is his last season?  Move Gross or Monroe to LT?

 

Not discounting, just trying to work through the details.

Monroe would've been a good fit for San Diego as well. I think it's a good move for Jacksonville since Monroe was probably going to leave in the offseason with Joeckel being the heir apparent at LT, but I wonder if the compensation could've been a little better.

 

Monroe may not be the only LT moving to the AFCN, as PIT is in talks with ARI about Levi Brown, which is more like replacing a deck chair on the Titanic.

We could have made this move, especially considering how bad we've been drafting in the later rounds. Ravens will probably work out a long term since Mckinnie might not be back. 

 

There were a report that said Gross was considering retirement after the season. Monroe would have been a huge upgrade at LT. I dont see Monroe getting anything more than what Jake Long got this past off season.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
