pass rush is really frustrating, but it isn't over yet that is for sure. We don't know if Golden sees something in Stone either, but I would of
rather had Justin Reid even if I don't like the guy, he is a much better player.
Uche or Ojulari would of been great. I know we talked to Ojulari and Teven Jenkins, but talk is cheap.
You think everyone is going to blame the players because Duke sent that message?
I don't, especially Ja'Marr, they were the ones who could of gotten a much cheaper deal done for him before last season and screwed
it up. He turned around and made them pay by winning the triple crown for a WR, he deserves 41+ mil per year now that they said he
would be paid the most for a non-QB.
Think they handled the Trey situation and the Tee situation right. Trey wanting 35+ mil like he is an all around End and Tee wanting 30
mil per year like he is a true #1 is on them honestly, but this is my opinion. Lots of fans would have them just pay them and would still
blame the FO for not getting it done like they said they would.
I think the Brown family will always deflect blame and apply it somewhere else. My gosh,they already have a terrible reputation.In their minds, last year was decades ago and the deals they have/will still offer will be tremendous in their minds but not tremendous when it comes to NFL/ Great player standards.It's a common message that people/organizations take that seem to be playing checkers when everyone else is playing chess.
These 3 great players didn't all of a sudden become great overnight. Yes,they screwed up with Chase last year and he deserves 41 mm or 40 mm plus one penny over Garrett ESPECIALLY since they sent out their Paul Revere and said he would be the highest plaid non-QB out there.
While most will never understand, so far they've handled Trey correctly, imo. They knew exactly what they were doing especially in their asking price which they had a good idea no team would match. Now, to make it 100% complete they need to rip up Trey's salary and give him a 2-3 year deal with alot of cash up front. If he shows real regression this season or gets hurt or if Osaii and Murphy have monster years then they can release Trey after a year or two years and won't have him locked up long-term.
