I'm pretty sure Terry's people would not have taken any deal right after the end of the season.

I think a lot of you need to listen to Andrew Brandt's podcast. His famous saying is "deadlines spur action." In these negotiations, unless one party is willing to make major concessions to the other, a deal is not going to be made until a deadline. Which for this situation is going to be right before training camp.

That being said, I understand the skepticism from the fanbase. Especially since this is the most no brainer re-signing that the team has ever had in a long time.

I just hope that when that deadline comes, the team doesn't get too cute and end up losing Terry.

Ok then do it before the end of the season. Beginning of the 2021 season. If this is everything I need and want in a player then there is no reason to string it out.

Your A list players need to have deals done long before you get to franchise tag mode. We don't have a lot of those kind of guys but #17 is one of them.

Your under the impression that the delay is solely on the team, which it doesn't appear to be the case. It could be, but there hasn't been any indication from Terry's side that this is the case. Both the player and the team are not going to agree to anything until there is either a.) a deal that they cannot refuse or b.) a deadline is coming up.

There was no way in hell Terry's agent would have agreed to anything during the season or right at the end of the season without seeing what type of deals free agents were getting.

Like you, I don't fully trust the team and they could still F this up. But unless the team comes and makes Terry the highest player in the NFL, nothing will happen until a deadline comes up. As Andrew Brandt said, "deadlines spur action."

All that being said, this would be such an win for the team if they did this now. Whatever they think they'd overpay for Terry, would be gained in trust from the fanbase.

Can't blame them for following the franchise's business rules/model.

People are getting hyped over these OTA practices. But good to see that Samuel is 100%. The media is gushing over the offense already. SMH...

From a source I trust, Michael Phillips, has stated the offense looks good. Wentz is spinning it!

I’m thinking of a Jersey buy…

Never buy a jersey of anyone that plays currently is my motto.

Go for a retired great. Those are much more likely to end up being worth the investment.

Although, if we extend McLaurin, I'll likely break my own code. But he would be a great candidate for my 1st NFL jersey purchase.

Note - I have never really bought jerseys in general anyways. But I bought 2 OKC Durant jerseys that both ended up being donated to Goodwill. I said I'd never buy another current player jersey ever.

Tweet I saw:

Logan Paulsen said Jahan Dotson is absolutely dicing people up in OTAs and is near uncoverable

And the only DB that’s been able to stay on him is Benjamin St-Juste

Buying team merchandise just makes you a Snyder enabler (Yeah I know just watching them does as well so most of us are guilty).

Naw…I can’t do a damn thing about Snyder. Just have to accept it like this bullshit name change

[Meks]

I kind of agree, you know, hit em where it hurts but it would take an absolute mass exodus of fans to never buy a single piece again.. then you have the team still selling to all the stores who usually net30 or pay up front for merch so the team, or Snyder per say, may still have that loophole of shrugging the responsibility in the immediate. There is no win for us as fans even if I personally won't buy anything new. I just have some places that I know still make skins jerseys and can be new players too that's decent quality so fine by me 🤷
