Extend Allen Hurns' Contract Now Or Wait?
|
Straightforward question and poll (pole). Have at it.
What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Now. Because it makes most sense for the cap down the road to front load him now. Sullivan raves about his work ethic. He'll continue to hustle.
He has well outplayed an undrafted contract, and it is smart to sign him to a friendly deal now (as opposed to rely on tags and free agency risks later). It would also have a positive benefit to get it done before the draft, showing agents representing undrafted players that the Jags are the place to sign.
If you were to extend it now it would be cheaper and better for the long term if he performs and gets better. Even if Dave wanted to extend him now I bet Hurns would bet on himself to finish his contract to get a much better contract.

With the salary cap expected to continue to increase going forward, what is expensive for a WR today will be cheaper than what you must commit to a WR in a future negotiation. If you offer money now, it likely is a win-win for both player and team.
Sign him now.. It's a good move for this team to show players they will be rewarded and taken care when they play for it. Plus he's seriously earned it and if he signs now he's a year younger on the next contract.
DC has said they will probably look into doing it after the draft.
Go Jags!
*To stay up for atleast 2 years 3/6/17 2016 draft players I think will be good

Hypothetically speaking, couldn't the Jags let him play out this year. Then he would qualify as a restricted free agent next off season. Sign him to an offer sheet, making him still relatively cheap for 2 full seasons.
I may be wrong, but this might be what they are thinking. PS if y'all are wondering who voted no. That was I. I took it as what I think they are going to do, not as I would.
Quote:DC has said they will probably look into doing it after the draft.That's good news then

I voted wait. With the mindset of keep them hungry. If he balls out similarly again this year then the team will have to pay the premium. I would not be opposed to what ever the team does. He is a professional in every way and a tough son a a gun on top of it.
Looking to troll? Don't bother, we supply our own.
Given that this was a multi-option poll, I condemn anyone who did not choose at least one of "Blank #2" and "Corn" to go along with their actual response. I hope Gene Smith picks your kid's little league team this year.
Sign him sooner rather than later. Lots of cap room to eat up, excellent young talent with a world of upside, do it. Just recognize when signing him that the floor for A-Rob's deal next offseason will be significantly higher than what Hurns is paid this offseason.
I vote corn.
People that get paid way more than I do and make these kinds of decisions know an awful lot more and know what to do than I do. I would lean towards waiting and see how the draft and this next season pans out. As I try to live my life... "just because you have some money doesn't mean that you need to spend it". The time will come when and/or if certain players deserve a big payday, and by the same token, those players could also provide valuable draft picks and/or money in a trade deal in the future. There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!
Doing it now will help us when it comes time for ARob,BB,Telvin,Colvin,Linder etc etc
I've said all along that they should go ahead and get his deal out of the way now because I don't think they want to have to deal with re-signing Bortles, Robinson, and Hurns in the same off season. They can give him a deal that is very much worthy of his production now and that's one less thing to worry about.
Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
