Now…

Now…

At any cost? He's a clear step below everyone on this list. If you can do it for 25 per, then fine...anything more than that (with a half of a season of real production) is way too speculative.

No, certainly not at any cost, but I still think they should get it done. He’s definitely a young talent who’s proven he can play the question is imo is can he stay healthy?

Yeah, his career outside of Brissett throwing him a ton of passes in the second half of last year in mostly garbage time has been pretty mediocre. I personally would like to see more from him before committing big money. I don't think he's anywhere near most of the names on that list.

But his career was mediocre because he was #2 or 3 on Murray's list of receivers. And whether it was lack of oline protection or Murray's lack of being able to see over the middle he never had a chance to throw to him. Garbage time or not, Wilson proved he can catch the ball.

Now, because if he has a year almost as good as any of those other dudes, extending him next year will cost even more.

Possible, but pure speculation at this point. Let's see him do it for over half a year before committing crazy money?

I see your logic, but I’d rather sign him when he’s cheaper. Some of the catches he made last year were the type of catches we were expecting and hoping Marvin to make. He would go up and get the ball and Highpoint it and take it away from the defender. He’s shown he’s capable. But I understand where you’re coming from.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Oh, the other reason you extend Wilson now is because Marv will be eligible going into next season and you do not want to get caught needing to extend both of them at the same time... especially if Wilson continues to grow and Marv finally breaks out.

Very true. So, should Mr Cheapskate sign him now to a reasonably better contract or bet that last year was a fluke and IF Wilson proves he's as good as last year, end up paying MORE than he had to? We're outsiders, I would hope the organization has a better feeling on which way to go.......but we've been fooled before

 

[Chopper0080]

Who on that list do you think he is catching with a good year?

Staggering contracts at one position group is a valid reason to pay Wilson sooner vs later.

 

[Russ Smith]

wow Flowers is good but my god they gave him 10 million per TD. He has 14 career TD's in 3 years and 140 million. I know he's put up good stats 2 1000 yard seasons on a team that's not a great passing team, very good player but man that's a ton of money.

IMO it’s a reason not to pay Wilson. If MHJ shows he can be a top WR, you can let Wilson leave unless he also reveals himself to be truly special.

I have a hard time imagining MHJ giving this team a reason to sign him to an extension after his third season. His fifth year option will likely be an enormous bargain and baseline for a future deal.

I'd have to wait and see the details of that contract. I have a feeling that there is a bunch of "funny money" in those numbers.

So, you're betting on MHJ to finally develope into what everyone expected, and I hope you're right. But what if he doesn't? But let Wilson leave? It's no wonder the cards suck.....don't pay good players, let them leave. And who replaces them? A draft pick of the future, maybe next year we draft a rookie or 2028...2029...2030. You're thinking just like Bidwill. I'm disappointed K9, you're much smarter than that.
Offense scores with a QB, WR's and a RB. Letting a good WR go because of money is the Bidwill way. That wig is bleeding into your brain....LOL

This tells me the Cardinals have/had the wrong Zay playing WR.

I’m in favor of extending Wilson. It’s not my money; if he continues on his current path he’ll be worth a top 10 deal until Puca extends. Top 5 through 8.

I don’t think we should be planning on Marv beyon his fifth year. Even if Marv continues on his current path, his fifth-year option will be a value. Then we’re in 2028 and anything is possible.
