Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3478571, member: 9052"] I think that's a dangerous level of long term contracts to be handing out. Handing out long deals and being stuck with horrible contracts is what has brought us down to our current level. Ikin has dealt almost exclusively in 3yr deals or 2yr extensions... that's a good place to be with contracts because it keeps flexibility with the roster and removes risks of terrible contracts becoming a burden. Even Arey, as a huge signing for us, is off contract end of next year... 3yr deals are a good sweet spot where if a deal goes bad it doesn't become the end of the world. If Reynolds wants to go around again he can be extended by a year... representing a much lower risk than an initial upfront 4yr deal. For comparison Staggs signed a 4yr deal and there's already thoughts that it's a bad deal and some would've preferred Herbie being kept over him. I think Staggs was our last 4yr deal ... or maybe Cobbo extended out to a 4yr deal last year??... but we're kind of stuck with Staggs now. Herbie has now left, and Mariner is off contract soonish as well. The 4yr deal for Staggs starts to become a burden if he has a poor year again this year. Patty is one that is absolutely in a prime position for a long upgrade and extension, and I'd hope Ikin is setting up plans to sort it out. He's still young, but his potential is being realised and he is already a consistent high quality player... therefore he is a low risk when it comes to a long term deal. Cobbo, Mam and Mozer extended last year ... Mariner the year before. These guys are in the infancy of their careers and could flop at any point. Haas is now in the mold of not wanting to sign long term deals... I beleive he said last year (or the year before) that he has regrets signing the 6yr deal because of how long it locks him in... even though the broncos upgraded him anyway. I daresay there's a chance Haas doesn't complete a new deal until next off season as he's not off contract until 2025. Reece only signed last year... so I'd say they're not thinking about an extension until next off season at the earliest and that's if he absolutely kills it and they want to lock him in as soon as possible.
