jetfan8178 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 If you're saying you are rebuilding you have to do this for continuity. I would guess 2 years... If we aren't a playoff team by then you move on but you cant deny the job done this season with little talent. This and next offseason we should have a great team on our hands.

jetskid007 Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 2 year extension for each, meaning they’re under contract through 2020. Basically: you have 2 years to make us a contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingOfNewYork Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Happy with this, sure both have had their faults but so would a new coach and GM. They both should improve as they go forward and we need continuity right now. Glad my owner Christopher Johnson made this decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, we can hope Matt Nagy and Mike Vrabel won't get HC gig until then. That would make them 2/3 and 3/4 years, respectively, experience at high level of coaching. Assuming that Reid actually let Nagy call games all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby816 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Torn on if I like this or not. Thought Macc deserved more time, but not Bowles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetskid007 Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Christopher Johnson on his decision to extend both Bowles, Maccagnan: "This provides us continuity and stability as we continue to move this team towards sustained success." Translation: Kirk, please sign with us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.O Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'm fine with this. Not gonna pop champagne over it but the move makes sense, let's see if they can continue to take the team in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyt31 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Two years doesn't mean much. They could be fired after next season. It's a 50/50 situation for both, but Macc stripped the roster for this rebuilding offseason and Bowles kept the team competitive. 2 games were taken from bad calls & had a chance to possibly beat the Chargers and Saints if McCown was healthy. Difference between 6-9 wins. Macc has missed on some picks, but protected himself with creating the amount of camp space and draft picks he has pulled in. A lot can happen this offseason. Macc could trade up for a top QB and use the rest of the picks and cap space to complete the holes in this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if he has another lousy draft & does very little in FA period, and does not come up with a QB. Only those lousy owners we have that would give a ? GM a new contract now. If going 5-11 two years in a row is going in the right direction that is crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyt31 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Good news is that our young guys get another shot at developing in this system on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockice_8 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I wouldn't even say this buys them 2 years. Next year is huge for them. If they can't find a franchise QB or a young QB with potential then they could easily be let go after next season. I think both have been pretty mediocre thus far. Now go get us a QB Mac.

Mac and Bowles jobs are only safe for 1 more season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdelaney89 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I really like this move, I think they do have us on the right path. This offseason will tell us a lot but I really like the potential sitting there right now. I really wish I knew where Cousins has his sights on or if he is just going for money. The transition tag would help us though cause it limits the amount of teams that can offer an unmatchable deal. It would likely only be Us the Browns and the Bills. that drastically shakes up the draft too. Big moves coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
