i mean, if they know for sure he's the 2024 guy, why aren't think inking him to a 5 year, 250 deal right now....a no brainer

Oh.

I wasn’t aware that contract negotiations for NFL QB’s happened so quickly. 

But, as you said, I’m sure they’re waiting for Q1 of 2027 to extend him (despite the fact he’ll be a FA). 

Pay the man. He won’t get cheaper, and you don’t have on the roster, or available in FA, or in an upcoming draft, that produce what he’s producing. 

Give him a competent OC and a defense and he moves the ball consistently, can make every throw, can get out of trouble, and can win games on his own. He’s proven himself. Is he perfect? No. But he makes us competitive and has not been the problem.
