Re: The annual QB carousel
The 2027 offseason is a key offseason for that 24 QB draft class.
1st round picks can have that 5th year option picked up and the then 3rd year, entering Year 4, players can negotiate a contract extension.
I’ll just talk about the first round picks since the other round picks have no impact.
5th Year Option
Williams and Nix have played the most and will
definitely get that 5th year option.
Maye is next and he will get the 5th year option.
Daniels is a question mark. Another injury plagued season and he doesn’t get the option picked up. He plays the full season, he gets his option picked up.
McCarthy and Pennix, even if they play the full season probably won’t get the option
picked up. They need more than one full season, to judge them.
Contract Extension
I think Williams, Nix and Maye will be offered the extension. Whether they do get one, is unknown.
Daniel’s might also be offered the extension, if he plays the full 3rd year.
I don’t know if McCarthy or Pennix will get offered an extension after one season of full play. If neither play a full 3rd year; definitely not. Right now they are closer to being busts than getting that 2nd contract.
Those contract negotiations will be interesting as 6 QBs will be looking for that extension/2nd contract. Who jumps first?
