The numbers need to show that we can move on from Mayfield in April, if the opportunity presents itself.Backside wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 12:36 pm I don't really care about the number being high. I'm sure people will be freaking out when it first gets announced as some insane overpay. Then eventually the real numbers will come out and it won't be as bad as it looks.
I'm definitely in favor of heavy incentives and a shorter term contract (at least in terms of guarantees). If we do that, sure, let him get some huge number his agent can brag about.
I really think trust in Licht is the most reasonable thing here. Since his first few years where he was learning by making mistakes, he has very rarely given out atrocious value contracts, or let guys get away. I feel like every time we bring back one of our own both sides always seem pretty pleased with the deal eventually.
I hope and expect the same here.
Yeah, "I feel like every time we bring back one of our own both sides always seem pretty pleased with the deal eventually., and we stunk the whole time,
Since the 2002 season, the only time we were good was when we had Tom Brady. You realize that since 2002, we're 1-3 in the playoffs in seasons where we didn't have the greatest qb of all-time, right?
