Make him earn it - what's the hurry?
He could be the LT of LTs.
Yep. Why wait until next year when the price inevitably goes up?
Would you rather pay a guy 21 mil who has not finished a season in the past two years or pay him 25 mil when he shows you he can?
Who is better and deserves it more at LT for the Cards?
Why pay him after his worst pro season? You’re not getting him at a discount. The starting price is 5th year + franchise tag value.
Yup. “cornerstone” player PJJ earned the second-lowest fifth-year option amount.
Because you have team control and there's no reason to hand him the bag yet. Did the Kyler early contract teach us nothing? Now, PJJ's problems wouldn't be the same, but say he gets a career-altering injury this season after we give him the bag. No bueno.
Did McBrides'? For every failed contract, there's one that has succeeded. Plus it was a different GM giving Kyler the bag.
If you believe in his potential, option A.
The same thing can happen if we waited a year. Give him the bag and gets injured. There's injury settlements to deal with this issue.
You completely misunderstand what injury settlements are. They don’t apply to big-contract players my man.
This can apply to every athlete ever….
He certainly hasn't earned that - he's been good but not great. No need to set the market for that.
Better listen to KGB!
