Cut it out everyone. :-/ I don't think he will cut it here. I don't think he is cut out for the NFL. His cuts are not very sharp. He has trouble edging out the defenders.

Was funny the first 100 or so times in this thread...not so much anymore

He is not an unrestricted free agent so if he were cut he would have to clear the waiver wire before he would be available to pick up by anyone.  I wouldn't doubt that a team like the Raiders would take a flier on him if he were cut.  I doubt he would make it us. The problem with trading for him isn't this year but the fact his 2015 salary is guaranteed at the beginning of the season next year and would cost roughly 6 million.  So while he would be a good rental for 1.8 million this year, would he worth a draft pick if it were only for 1 year.

But doesnt he have 4 accrued seasons? Doesnt that prevent him from hitting the waiver system?

I, personally, would trade a late pick for him. He's young, very good and at a position of need. I'd try like hell to re-sign/extend him to a more cap friendly deal, but given what he brings to the table I don't think that's too much to pay. I also free's up a draft position for another need.

I was reading a Buccaneer article which suggested he would have to hit the waiver wire.

I know he missed 10 games in 2013 and the number needed for an accrued season is 6 games so I don't know if 2013 qualified as a full season or not. At first glance it appears he did qualify and 2013 would be his fourth year so he should be an unrestricted free agent.

As long as I thought the locker room was strong enough to corral him I might try and send a 7th for him.  The good news is that we have a lot of young talent.  The bad news is we might not have enough veterans to handle a troublemaker.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
