Bryce Contract Extension - Hypothetical

[CPF4LIFE]

Not even think about this right now. At the current state...its honestly nonsense. 

[Icege]

He's got two more seasons and a bonus option left. Unless he absolutely balls out this upcoming season, there's no reason to even consider negotiations until it's time for the bonus option.

This right here. 

No agent is going to have his player sign an extension only 2 years into the league.  The OP is hypothetical poo that on works when playing madden. 

Just getting a read for who thinks he has it and who doesn’t.

Talk to the defense about that one.

That’s what makes the hypothetical a gamble. Could win big. Could lose big. Personally, I think it’d be worth it to lock him in longer now and get the discount of projecting his growth. He’s 23. In confident by the time he’s 25, we’ll all be on board with him sticking around.

Yeah he will get paid way more if he shines but if the cap keeps going up his 50 million contract will be very doable. Plus we get to see how he turns out before breaking the bank.

At this juncture we have hope for the future but that's it. Absolutely no reason to even consider something like this right now. And it should also be pointed out the entire reason for trading up for a 22 year old QB is to get maximum value out of their rookie deal. We've already invested upwards of $150 million in the oline. Are there people out there that actually think we can afford to toss out a 100 million dollar contract and still somehow field a competitive team with a black hole on the defensive side of the ball a unit btw that just gave up the single season most points in league history?

I try to give everyone here a little grace but threads like this just make me grumpy. Stupid.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I like Bryce and want him to do well and hope a year from now I’m regretting this but no way would I do it. Despite recent history he has more bad tape than good tape from a pro football perspective.  

[Aussie Tank]

Nah next season is the key. If he cements himself as our guy I don't really care what we pay him because we will finally have our franchise guy. 

[Sup]

As others have said, hell no. Obviously some cause for optimism but I'll honestly be more surprised if he plays better next year than if he regresses again.

If you could extend Bryce’s contract right now for 3 years, $30mil per year, would you do it?

Geno Smith is currently paid as the #19QB at avg of $25mil/year. 

#18 is Baker Mayfield at ~$33mil/year. 

You’re essentially betting on Bryce being a top 20 QB for the next 5 years. 

Upside: If Bryce plays as a top 10-15 QB, you have a steal and can surround Bryce with more weapons. Probably saving somewhere between $15-30mil per year by then. If you wait until after next season, and Bryce plays like he did at the end of last year, the price goes way up. 
 

Downside: If Bryce plays like Year 1 or early Year 2, you’ve locked yourself into 5 more years of it on the cap. 
 

So, if Bryce and his agent were ready to sign off on it, would you? 

 

 

I think a better question or before a extension, should the panther trigger his 5th year option??

 

Im a BY "hater" according to many, I do not know how to answer that given the 5th year is around 30 million.

We’ve seen Bryce Young’s best .. downhill from here

Not sure why anybody who has watched the turn around thinks he doesn't have it. 

Seems a lot of people are dismissing just how incredible it is that he has turned it around.  Most would have mailed it in.
