Here the breakdown via Twitter:

Hinted he will use option on Cam for fifth year...work on long term deal

Noncommittal on Godfrey

No comment on Hardys long term deal

89 was a football decision....compared it to Babe Ruth being cut

Happy with FA so far and long term prospects for team

That's about it in a nutshell

Disagree and we don't have the money now.

Wouldn't pay him until next season anyway. It's an extension, not a new deal, so this year's amount stays the same whether we pay him today or next off-season.

Why is FOX Sports saying that it'll be tougher to keep him if we put it off til next year? That's not a rhetorical question. I'm really asking.

A. They don't know Cam

B. There's an option for us to keep him into year 5

C. Coming off ankle surgery I think it's prudent to wait

D. With Gross and Smith out, the locker room is his, what will he do with it?

I think it's very smart to not sign Cam now, evaluate beyond this season and continue to fix the cap.

He'll have more leverage.  Right now, he has a major incentive to get a long-term deal done because he knows he'll get a lot more money via a long-term deal than by playing out his contract via the team option.  If we utilize the option, then the only way we have of definitely not letting him walk would be to use the franchise tag which is a cap killer for a QB.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
