Jaylon Smith rfa 2020 planning

[vlad]

Considering the Tank contract issues, and what Mosley just signed for(5/85m, 51g), should we get a replacement targeted in this draft? Or would you pay him the going rate?

Assuming no hometown/we believed in you discount...he’s awesome but can’t pay everyone. He is a RFA. That’s the challenge with drafting a guy injured, you don’t get to take advantage of his rookie contract.

Jaylon Smith may be the best young LB in the NFL. He is a must sign guy.

i think if he wasn't injured, he'd be a urfa. so we actually get to count that first year as a redshirt because he is now only a rfa.

i'd sign him. we have over 100m next year in cap. no reason not to sign a cornerstone top 4 mlb in his prime who is still improving as he heals from his injury. i had read that he still wasn't 100% last year and if so, he's an all-pro from here on out.

Slow your roll..... he has impressed because of his surgery but he isn't even a Pro Bowler yet

So we spend a high pick on a guy who doesn't get good until his 3rd year so we can replace him after his 4th year?

Going to be tough to keep Jaylon and LVE both long-term

Do you watch football? The guy was a freaking beast last year. He and LVE were THE reason our defense excelled last year.

Who gives a crap about the Pro Bowl? It’s a popularity contest. Jaylon is a top 3 MLB in the league.

Yea, he may no even be the best young LB on this team

He's not.

Vander Esch is better because of his coverage ability.

Jaylon can thump better then anyone in football right now but it's a passing league and Vander Esch covers a ton of space.

Let's not get carried away. I would argue he's not even the best young lb in his own team.

I should've read the whole thread before commenting

Don't forget as an RFA, there would pick draft pick compensation (likely a 1st) for any other team to sign him. A first and big money is a tough pill to swallow for a very good, but not elite player.

 

[conner01]

We will keep both
There is no real hurry
He will likely get an extension next year

 

[glimmerman]

I am hoping he will compensate in negotiations for what JJ did for him by taking the chance. Lol.

Like that will happen.

 

[Setackin]

I’d rather have Jaylon than DLaw... if it comes down to it.... I’m not a big fan of over paying Dlaw...

imagine being up for a raise at your job and giving your employer a “you believed in me” discount

 

[ItzKelz]

No way they are gonna break up VanJaylon

I mean this team finally gets talent and nobody wants to pay for it. It’s crazy man. It’s cut, trade or draft the replacement right away as these guys just start to hit their best performing years.
