What makes a long term deal out of the question? With the cap going up considerably In the next few years and the shitty Hurney contracts finally starting to come off the books in the next few years....why can't we sign him to say a 4 or 5 year deal with more of the money coming in the 3rd and 4th years, or something like that? I think he really wants to come here, and the more I see I think it's a real possibility.

Don't like the "I want a long term deal" part. We can't afford a long term deal.

 

Nicks already admitted the other day he will to play one 1-2 yr cheap contract to prove he can still play. I can see DG working a solution here right trying to figure out how bring him in and sign him come Tuesday. Nicks is the most likely guy we have chance at. Then keep Smith around and drafting 2 WRs  in the first 3 picks some how. That's the best option we have right now. Nicks ain't the grestest WR. But when healthy then he can be solid.

I disagree.  We have cap room and the cap is going up substantially over the next 2 years.  I think we can sign him to a long-term deal that is more reasonable this year than a 1-year deal.  Imagine a 5-year, $35 million deal. 

 

Yes, we will have to sign Cam, Luke, and Star.  But the bad deals Marty made will be falling off the books.

      Every Big-Time Throw from Bryce Young and CJ Stroud in 2023

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I interpreted your original reply as the team could have success if the new players and coaches were really good, AND they created an offense that didn't count on the QB being a primary contributor. Because you think Bryce won't be able to hold up his end. I think you confirm that above. My only point is that I don't see how anyone can say definitively what Bryce Young will be in the league yet, based on his supporting cast from last season. And it seems those that have already decided that Bryce Young is a bust, likely just didn't like him as the pick in the first place. A little context for me... lots of folk here didn't like Cam while he was a Panther either. It had very little to do with him as a talent. And just for the record, I really am not invested in Bryce Young. I didn't want the team to move up for a QB at all in 2023. I thought 2024 would be the year to go for a QB. But when they did, I ordered the QBs as Anthony Richardson, then CJ, then Bryce. The disfunction from the front office, to the playcalling, to the scheme, to the oline and the receivers was just not a good situation. Horrible actually. Asking a rookie to perform with all that adversity is just not realistic to me, at any position let alone QB. So to me, the verdict is still out. I don't know if he can be the guy because the situation he was in last year was set up to fail from the start. In preseason, as soon as I saw the oline couldn't figure out how to even slow down the Jets' pass rush (particularly stunts) and the receivers were locked up like Fort Knox, I knew we were in for a long season.

      Does the Canales era have a new vibe?

      I bet one would. But I hear you and hope he can control himself.

      By TD alt · Posted

      It's a different vibe for sure. He sounds like he knows what he's talking about and his general plan---that which he tells the world---sounds like a working plan. Reich didn't seem to have a plan, and Rhule's plan was ill-suited for grown men. Reich coached like a zombie---just dead and uninspiring. Rhule thought that he could take his college guys and dominate in the pros, smiled in guys faces and threw them under the bus. His brand of motivation has plays running to a DBO sign. Canales seems to be schooled in motivation, but also believes the stuff he is selling down to his core. We'll see if it holds up.
