his cap hit for 2018 would be ~$8.5m.

no thank you.

he can easily be replaced at that kind of money.

Nothing is "easily replaced" in the NFL.  What if we decide not to pay him, and he completely balls out in the new offense?

Now he's an unrestricted FA....the tag is in play, or an extension...both would cost more than picking up the tag now.

Again, you are getting him for 5.25 average over the next two....it's worth it to me to see if a player that was selected in the 1st round, and missed a full year can do.

It's bewildering how some of our fans seem to practically get off on perceived failures of our players. We've had to deal with it for years with Cam, any mistake and suddenly the I told you so idiots start piling on. Rinse, repeat. Failure of one key player hurts our team, our franchise.

Eventually this fanbase will have to figure out that you get what you give. You give poo you get poo. At times people here sound no better than Saints fans. Just fickle cry babies.

Gettleman's philosophy is that to win in the NFL you have to run the ball, stop the run and sack the qb.

Gettleman doesn't value the WR position. He had a team led by Ted Ginn/Corey Brown/Jerricho Cotchery make the super bowl.

You think he's going to pay a lazy wr $8.5m without first seeing what he's getting? The only reason he will do that is his ego. He drafted KB in the first and would look dumb for doing so if he doesn't pick up the option.

I think using that $8.5m next year on Star would be a much better option.

Im not quite following you. KB had a whole offseason after getting hurt. Then a whole season. And now another half-off-season. I'm not as impatient with his weight as other are being, but I still wish he would create good habits for himself while he's in his prime. He'll have a longer and more productive career that way.

No you're wrong this is his first full off season last off season he was still rehabbing think before you speak

I usually agree with ya, Red, but allowing yourself to balloon up in the off-season (even if it isn't 280 lbs) is not a "mistake".  He didn't "mistakenly" stuff his face.  I'm betting he actually picked up that pizza in his own little hands and fed himself.  A LOT.

Its not a "mistake".  Its an act of unprofessionalism.  ESPECIALLY at the position he plays.
