Ultimately, its about the total yards he generates. 1,650 is top 7 in the league and with one game less played than many ahead of him. Unless the Giants have a player in mind who can replicate that for less money, they will try to keep him. If they want to win they will need a WR to get them there.

Please use his proper name when speaking about Pachegoat.
Is there a chance Purdy isn't the same player he was after he does this surgery?
I say it expecting a drop off - especially with his injury history. He's still very very good, but he looked like an all timer his rookie year
True. They got him when they were a truly terrible team. One wonders how good his numbers would've been early on with a better OC, OL and head coach.
Nah they do Tommy John surgeries so regularly these days it's like a rite of passage for baseball pitchers, and this is supposed to be less severe than what requires that.
Now if it was that bad then he would have a problem worrying about getting back before his job was stolen back.
Think this is the best way forward, although they do need to bring in a veteran back-up in case Lance sucks and Purdy isn't ready soon enough.
Don't think they can afford a QB on a super contract, if they want to keep guys like Bosa and Aiyuk around. Unless Brady signs a minimum deal with them of course.
Increasing swirl around this, although its likely just talk for now
Brady to SF, Purdy to backup, Lance to Tennessee.

Kind of crazy how many first round picks Broncos have given up for Russ & Payton
Just checked and it’s a total of 3 firsts & 3 seconds

What’s the Broncos salary cap like?
Loads of space, up there with the most in the league if I remember correctly (could be wrong)
Not excited about Payton.
After the way the last few days have gone this tells me they wanted Harbaugh, but couldn’t make it happen.
Pissed around with that too long to Ryans sorted his future out.
So left with Payton as the stupidly expensive fallback option.

There were rumors they were taking one last big swing before getting real desperate. I was buying into the conspiracy theory that it was Harbaugh and he was doing Michigan the courtesy of wrapping up a good recruiting class. That would've been my preference instead of giving up the pick...oh well.
Why not excited about Payton? Especially if cap space available.
Payton is a great coach though
Not convinced he’s as great as he’s made out to be, and he’s a cnut for bountygate.
Not getting excited for next year anyway, been burned way too many times at this point so I’m working on the assumption that Russ is gonna suck and we’ll finish under .500 again.
Unreal
A bit weird why people are rebutting Denver though? Capable QB, young weapons, good defense, and they got some history, nice atmosphere as well in their stadium, ...
Ryans has the Texans connection though. And Harbaugh just seems to love being in Michigan.
JJ Watt tweeted this yesterday. I would've thought he wanted a break from football but perhaps he's joining Ryan's staff in Houston? They are close friends if I'm not mistaken.

That's a lot to give up for a HC.
Imagine getting rejected in favour of the Houston Texans.

That should tell you a lot about Payton’s perceived coaching prowess when the Broncos preferred a young guy with zero HC experience
It could be worse as a fan I guess, I could have to put up with watching the Chiefs struggle every week like @P-Ro
I think Payton is a very good offensive coach and he is much better for the Broncos than Demeco
I used to like you, bro.
I just literally laughed out lout when I read that. Feel your pain for real
On a serious note, I really rate Payton. The only way is up for the Broncos offense next season.

I get it, I’m only joking I hope you’re right there.
I try and tell myself after every dud play "relax mate, it's a rebuild year" but I sometimes just forget in the heat of the moment.
If I were a Broncos fan I’d be pretty upbeat about this. He’ll get the best out of Wilson. And with salary cap you could invest heavily. But, tough division. And I thought the broncos would be good this year too so …
Your pain is real.
I thought this year would be a turning point too.
I’m learning.
After the Wilson and Watson fiascos will any team in the next couple of years give up a shite load of draft picks along with £50m a year for an established NFL QB? There's no getting around that those decisions have essentially fecked those franchises for the next 2 years unless there's a seismic improvement from last year. It's why I just don't see Rodgers moving on from Green Bay this off season.

It’s a bit early to write off Wilson.
Watson, that was always a bit risky given he had hardly played for a long time.
For the Broncos, there’s no reason yet to think Wilson can’t be elite again under the right coach.
I wouldn’t be too down on Wilson yet though. He was top quality at the Seahawks, it could have just been an incredibly bad offensive scheme and general chaos under Hackett. Obviously could still go bust under Payton but something tells me perhaps not.
Cheers thanks for the reply.
Same goes for Watson, he seemed to pick up his game towards the end of the season. I'd imagine with a proper offseason under his belt and the right coaching, there's no reason he can't get back to pre-suspension/holdout form.
Still hope he and the Browns fail miserably though.
Never particularly liked him but still quite gutted he won't be around anymore next year for some reason
