DGREENHULK Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I've been giving this some thought..When is the right time to resign JC? For some of us the answer is never but think about it. If he has a great season in his second year under Zorn and a rebuilt O line he will then comand a huge contract at the end of 2009 to stay in D.C. What if we offer him a smaller contract early in the season if he does well...may save a buck two when it comes to signing FA's in 2010. Thoughts?

AirMayo21 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 When we resign him will probably be based on his success this year. If he does well, I'd sign him to a 2 year deal, see how he does. If not, don't resign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitStickTaylor21 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 He gets nothing until he proves he can take us to the next level. If he doesn't do it this year then let him walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get Pissed Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 He gets nothing until he proves he can take us to the next level. If he doesn't do it this year then let him walk. I 100% agree with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 When to resign Jason Campbell ..... ? ..... When he finally proves himself to be a pro QB. It's all in his own hands. If he turns it around this year and finally "gets it", and EARNS a new contract, then great. If he continues like we've seen to date, then the doors that'a way >>>>> Hail.

I agree also. Let's see what happens next year. He will be a restricted free agent, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselfan44 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 If he tears it up next year I have no issue with signing him to a longer deal...But he will have to have a very good year....I'm talkin over 20TD's, 10 or fewer picks, and the playoffs...

If not, don't resign him. He is a young QB. He would never resign for two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurd Cudins Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I agree also. Let's see what happens next year. He will be a restricted free agent, correct?Exactly. It's an often over-looked point. He will still be a RFA, which means we can give him a 1st and 3rd tender and pay him less than $3M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#98QBKiller Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 At the end of next season IMO. If he goes out and has a stellar season in year 2 of Zorn's offense then he would be probably be worth locking up with big money. If he goes out and plays another mediocre season then it's time to let him walk and look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tastes Like Chicken Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Nothing to worry about as an RFA. No team would relinquish a 1st for him (except us LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurd Cudins Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Is that because of the whole CBA messup thing that makes everyone an RFA? I never understood that.Yes, now that the CBA has been voted down, players must have 6 years experience to become UFA's. This is also important when discussing our young DT's, Golston and Montgomery.edit: more specifically, now that the CBA "extension" has been voted down, it reverts to the old CBA, which is where the 6 years accrued experience comes from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now I wonder why the Patriots didn't just do this for Matt Cassel if they expect Tom Brady back? $3M sounds a lot more appealing than the $15M he will be paid...

I think it's because it doesn't take effect until next offseason, so Cassel would be a UFA otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 of course if JC does very well and then re-signing him becomes expensive most of what we'll see on ES is people ****ing about the FO not re-signing him sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well less teams are willing to part with 2 first rounders then a 1st and 3rd.15mil is a lot though, he'll be making more then Brady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Skins Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 It all depends on this year. If he regresses we start a search for another qb, but we can't just throw all of our eggs in with the CB train. The dude is a 6th round pick, and unless he gives us a great reason to count on him, we need to have another plan of action before letting JC walk altogether. If he has an average year, or regresses then we start building a plan of attack and give him a one year tender (1st round only), which no team will give up for. If he has a great year, which I think he will, then we resign him to a long term deal. Either way, you can't just blindly release him and hope it works out.

Passizle Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I think next year is his last chance. He neds to make, or break... and even then, I would not sign him long term. Maybe a short, incentive laden contract. While I beleive JC can remain a solid starter, there are question marks on his resume. If we address the line problems, I think some of this can be remedied... IF... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketCitySkins Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Cassel is a UFA not a RFA Cassel is a designated franchise player. He would have become a UFA on Feb. 6th had the Patriots not put the franchise tag on him. Now he is non-exclusive meaning he can negotiate with other teams just like an UFA but the Patriots have the first right to match their offer and the other team has to give 2 first round picks.

Hiro Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 We don't resign Jason until he's proven to us that he is our guy for the duruation of his career. If we see a big leap in his production next year and he continues to only get better in the 2010 season, I say give him the big contract that he's earned by that point. With QBs usually, it's not the best idea to jump the gun on them when it comes to signing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
