DreamKid Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 ??????????????????? Should we read into this. Or is he just speaking generally, as he's in a contract year as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coordinator0 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Very nice. Tavon is really good in a spot that's critically important to a defense these days. Hopefully re-signing the team's own young players is a trend that continues. Even if it's not a year early to avoid them hitting unrestricted free agency.

SalvadorsDeli Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Interesting to hear that Tavon played most of last season with a sports hernia. Helps explain why the organization thinks there's even better things to come from him. I like that we're willing to bet on our own players to an extent and extend them early with the idea that their contracts could turn out to be bargains if they really take the next step towards being elite at their position. This seems like the first move we've made that really has the feel of a new DeCosta approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tavon Young was a 4th round pick and is now the highest paid NB in the NFL. Judon being a 5th rounder means nothing when the team seems to view him as a future centerpiece OLB.

diamondbull424 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I’m gonna guess that all of these extension deals will run the same number of years. It’ll expire right as Lamar Jackson is set to become a free agent. And we’re either going to be signing him long term (hence having cap space available via contracts coming off the books) or be moving on from him in which case he must’ve done bad enough that we might be in a position to make bold moves and these contracts coming off the books equally would make sense.

That said, it would give us more leverage in negotiations, just a quibble with the reference to walk-year language. I would think Pierce is the more pressing guy to try and lock up this season.

coordinator0 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 He does, but that 5th year option is expensive for a guy picked that high. Better to do an extension beforehand to spread that cap hit out later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to do an extension beforehand to spread that cap hit out later on. That 5th year should be used for those where you either have doubts about the players actual contribution and similar concerns. We should rather try to extend Stanley and maybe come off cheaper now than after the 5th year where he has more leverage. From my point of view, Stanley is not a player we want to overpay. Similar with Jimmy Smith, Stanley is a player we get 10-12 good games from a year. Paying elite money for good contribution in 50-70 percent of the games in a season isn't money well spent.
