Will we resign DJ Moore?

How did hiring Rhule reset the coaching market.  If anything, Rhule is a cautionary tale.  If you overpay for a lemon, it doesn't mean everyone else will suddenly rush out and overpay for a lemon.

And after seeing seattle get that haul for Wilson and Rodgers get 150m, I can't imagine what we have to pay for Watson will be significantly more insane.

Ultimately how a guy performs after his contract doesn't matter. It's that the contract was signed. For a college coach to get that money and control from an NFL team was unprecedented.

I just don't see the follow up.  If the genie is out of the lamp and it worked, then yeah - there would be leverage for coaches.  But right now it looks to be a bust.  An experiment gone horribly wrong and not to be repeated.

Oh well.  Agree to disagree.  I'll reconsider if someone else gets a stupid deal like this.

All of these owners think they're the smartest people on the planet. Watching one fail has no bearing on what they do. They're smarter than that guy who failed.

I think everyone can learn from a mistake.  Especially people that have amassed tremendous wealth.  Can't imagine they'd be in the position they are in if they were incapable of learning.

Yes Soon as the DESHAUN WATSON situation is settled..

Assuming we get Watson, I think DJ has to be extended.  I would have been ok with him walking before, but we aren't going to have 1sts to replace him for 3 years.  His extension should be a priority.

Might as well get a 1st for him.
