600k for Zach is too much. He’s had a good career and earned his fair share. I mean you only take what is offered but I would have liked to see us have more flexible for salary at the quarterback position. We’re still paying him like he’s 2022 Zach and not 2026. Not the end of the world but I would have liked to see a deal similar to what Harris is making.

600 k for a guy who played like the 8th best QB in the league last year....

Look who was running the show. That goofball Hogan. Walters slept thru free agency last year. Lawler left. We have a turnstile at Center which affects the OL. Our receiving corps was so bad at one point we had Dalton Schoen playing on a torn ACL that he injured. Later, we even put Chris Sterveler in at receiver. Give the guy a break.

The last two years, and virtually every playoff game here at that.

But we are stuck in a bad spot. We can't get someone who is top-tier at that or any other pay. 

Zach could've taken a reduced deal, though. If he cut his salary by 1/3, we could sign an elite level talent and a position of need.
