I doubt they would use a tag on Wilson or Reader but they'd be next in line for extensions. If they keep Reader. They typically don't like to give 3rd contracts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the way it goes, oh well. I'm not sure it's wise to tie up all that money in WR's anyway with so many other contracts expiring over the next 2-3 years. I like Higgins but I assumed he wasn't staying as soon as they drafted Chase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahomes and Allen both got new deals after their 3rd season and I expect the same for Joe (and Herbert). I doubt Burrow's agent has any influence on Joe's thoughts about playing under his current deal. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on how well the player is performing and whether he's old by the standards of his position. NT is a job which depends on size and strength more than mobility. That's why guys like Vince Wilfork or Ted Washington were effective at an advanced age. They played 13 and 17 seasons respectively. Reader is going into his 8th season and played very well last year. The team shouldn't be afraid to extend him a couple of years for numbers similar to what he currently makes. The team should be more afraid of losing a very good DT if they have to replace him, whether with Tupou or a rookie or another free agent. 11 minutes ago, I_C_Deadpeople said: I doubt Burrow's agent has any influence on Joe's thoughts about playing under his current deal. Yeah, the idea of Burrow holding out is silly. The CBA includes pretty severe penalties for holding out during training camp, let alone missing games. So players in general don't try it. And Burrow is about the least likely guy in the NFL to hold out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kickers can play well into their 30s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happythoughts RT situation aside they've invested heavily in protecting him with the OL. Maybe if he plays until he's 40 I could see him on another team for a last lap Brady style but aside from some heinous shit like Troy fucking him around like Whitworth I think he's a career Bengal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as JBs career here.He has no say at all but Im sure he wants to keep hum as much anyone. Why wouldn't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claptonrocks Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 I can visualize tge Blackburn women talking to JB to explore how he'd like to play it keeping both Chase and Higgins. His contract will determine if he's serious about keeping his tandem together for SB runs.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he wanted to keep Hurst & Perine too, far as that goes. There's a number where it doesn't make sense and a very real possibility Higgins will get those offers just like those other two did. Honestly he's more deserving of the big payday than both of them combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Nobody here thinks Burrow is going to hold out. As far as not giving players a contract that stretches past age 30, the team shouldn't be dogmatic about it. It makes more sense for positions that depend on speed, than on strength. Karras is already 30 but he shouldn't be in any danger of being replaced. Likewise with Reader who is now 28. The team should extend DJ unless they have a capable replacement in hand. My view is that Tupou is fine for depth but not close to Reader as a starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post-30 year old body doesn't respond to injury like it does at 25, doesn't really matter what position they're playing. Still, if the guy doesn't have an injury history and is still playing well then go ahead and extend them but only for 2-3 years tops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
