The incentive is always they could be the 1 that is able to extract whatever potential they initially saw in the prospect, while getting that oppurtunity at a massively steep discount. It usually doesn't work out, but teams can't resist the fool's gold allure of it all.

Not sure about how the salary cap would handle that, but we are probably on the hook for whatever money he would have coming anyway.

I know what I made as a radio broadcaster for a smaller college basketball team right out of college. It was not much, even for then, but that was 30 years ago, and a different market and different sport. Didn't Rosinski get his nose out of joint because they didn't give him an NFC Championship ring? I seem to recall that beng at least part of the story.

He will be 1 of the sought-after names next year, and there will be a contender that for whatever reason feels a change is necessary. He will have his choice of destinations if he still wants to be in the job market.

If we draft a qb in the top 10, Young will be traded for whatever they can get, which will not be much. The Jets gave up a 7th and got a 6th from the Broncos when they dealt former #2 overall Wilson. Failing that, outright cut and released.

I think Canales goes before Young in that scenario.

Canales has a 13-22 record. That does include the playoff game. I'm not so sure another losing season means he is safe. Assuming a 7 win season which is the over/under, does 20-32 after 3 years equal safe?

RE: The Colts. Pretty sure I remember hearing 1 of Irsay's daughters is running the whole show now and thought it was a good idea to trade those picks away for Gardner. There was a photo of her wearing a coaching headset on the sidelines during last season. Might be 1 of those things where there is no one able to tell her no.

He won't though, unless it is the way Kenny Pick-it is a Superbowl champion. Hell, even Adam Morrison managed to win 2 NBA championships with the Lakers.

Yeah, I don't know in what world that counts as looking good. Really, expecting and counting on any significant contribution from him is foolishness.

Why would I care about a Niners player and what that player is getting? I am not a Niners fan, and have no comment on what they might pay their players. It's not my concern.

The Niners game was awful. The usually shitty defense came to play for whatever reason at the start. That said, you can't begin to excuse that Seahawks game performance by saying the opponent was just too good, and then claim that Young is a franchise QB. That is the exact scenario that a franchise QB is supposed to overcome. The math ain't mathing, and It just doesn't work.

That's not a bad comparison. Austin is a little more geared towards being a counter-culture college town, "Keep Austin Weird," but the increase in blondes is certainly a thing. It should be a good Superbowl site, with plenty for out-of-towners to do and blow money on, if the weather cooperates.

I last visited Nashville about 10 years ago. It had a cool little downtown area, and you could walk right over to the stadium from it. I am sure things have changed, but I know they do good business in conventions and bachelorette parties and related. Maybe there are infrastructure improvements on the way as part of the stadium. The new stadium will be domed, but I wouldn't trust central Tennessee weather in early February.

What's fair market value for these eye-pppping numbers?

The team won the division 3 consecutive times with Newton under center. That would be back-to-back-to-back years of making the postseason. Bryce Young is no Cam Newton.

Stroud could be a real factor. He's made the playoffs 3 seasons and won a game in each season. Young should absolutely come in under whatever Stroud gets.

I think so too, if not a little more for negotiations. There's a bit of an irony there since the Giants were painted into a corner on that deal when they resigned Jones.

Agreed. I edited to say maybe Mayfield @ 33per. Baker is better though.

Here is the list. Where does the market put him, again as a former #1 overall that has made the playoffs? Hurts is 10. Just a nudge over 50. Maybe around Mayfield. That puts him at 33per

I don't want to pay him anything. I want him gone.

I think the hard-headed steadfastness to not bring in any real competition for Young, or have anyone in the developmental pipeline, has boxed us in a bit on what will ultimately happen. We do have Superbowl-winning QB Kenny Pick-it waiting in the wings, so I guess that is something if it becomes a break glass emergency.

There's more to it than just that. Murray not only has an opportunity to take that job, but he also has a coach now that is widely-regarded as a QB-friendly coach. Tua no longer has to play outdoors in Buffalo, New England and New Jersey, and instead now has Tampa, and indoors in New Orleans, an indoor venue for home, and a real shot at winning that job as well.
