I think there's a chance of Jerry extending Fat Mike for two reasons. He's comfortable and he's cheap. Is there anything more important to Jerry than not walking on eggshells and pie?
Jones does like the fact that Fat Mike does not have much of an ego so they can do things without his knowledge or consent.

And yes, guys like Belichick demand a lot more money, not just for themselves but for the staffs they assemble.

McCarthy's hirings of Nolan and Solari are direct reflections of that. They were both old, washed and cheap.

He's not bringing McCarthy back. Garrett was a unique family portrait situation.

But I think I'd love it if MM won several more games with all these backups, Jerry wanted to keep him, and he said fuck your extension, I have an offer from Jacksonville.

I don't think it'll happen and the only scenario where I'd even consider it a possibility were if we somehow finished the year at 9-8 or 10-7 and potentially in the playoffs.

If we bumble around for the next 6 games and end up 7-10 that won't be nearly enough even for Jerry. Keep in mind that these fools purposefully cut off their nose to spite their face coming into this season because they were so pissy with how last season ended, they aren't completely oblivious to the disappointment McCarthy has brought.

Random thought - I wanted us to sign David Montgomery a few years ago to pair with Pollard while possibly cutting Elliott. It seemed like a nice fit stylistically given that I expected Montgomery to get a middling deal (ended up being 6/year) and obviously we've seen how that's turned out in Detroit with a very similar pairing.

This coming FA period I think Najee Harris fits the same mold. He's not a singular bell cow type RB but you can definitely get away with him as your starter, although ideally you pair him with someone more explosive while he does the physical dirty work.

I bet he won't get much, maybe somewhere around 5-6/year like Montgomery a few years ago, but he'd open up the draft for us to where we could wait until the 3rd or even 4th (if we trade down) for a RB. If Jeanty is the clear BPA and we take him, that's still a great fit, but you could also wait until the 3rd and take Dylan Sampson or Treyveon Henderson and still have a great complementary duo.

I'm sure this sort of higher order thinking is beyond the capabilities of the morons leading this organization.
