His extension has hit a halt and I just don't think it's out of the picture for Baltimore.  I know he's their dude and former MVP, but is he worth the extension they'd be willing to give?

If everyone is on the table for a given price and we are really in on every deal, I'm calling them to see what their price is.  We have the moolah now to give any QB a huge freaking contract and pieces I can frankly see Baltimore coveting on our defense.  

Rivera tried that and ended up with Carson Wentz.

Regarding Darnold, he is in fact a negative asset.  But we pay him if we want to play him or not so wanted his contract off the books for this season tells me we're still positioning for something interesting.  I have no clue, could very well be Jimmy or Baker but I'd love to think it's something out of left field.

you still have hope?

Im living on the edge......I got weak during the Ian Thomas signing....took 24 to restore the little I had. Rhule 3rd year magic, saints&falcons look weaker......Tom can not play forever, one day hes going to wake up and not have the juice or get a bad injury. 

Good-great signing new coaching staff(upgrades across) and overall 1st wave FA class improved the squad. More improving can take place....

Well if we did get it we would obviously do a new contract to lower that by quite a bit

We could definitely get them to listen but we would have to give up one of our young defensive players. No more sweetheart Bill O Brien deals unfortunately lol.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
