He's missed 2 games each of his first two years.
Thats not constantly hurt, most nfl players do not play a full 17

True I also love wasting 2nd round picks on rentals
I dont care about paying brisker just a dumb ass idea to draft guys for only 4 years and let them walk

Not as dumb as extending a guy and then having him retire due to a history of concussions you knew about. You can make decisions based in logic or you can make decisions based on some sentimental notion of not wasting draft picks.
There are a few good safeties that are FA next year such as Holland, Hufanga, Reid, Moerig, etc.

Seems like he’s constantly getting banged up during the games as well. Not sure how that factors into missed games.
Either way, he’d have to come at a good price. He’s a solid yet unspectacular safety and you have to ask yourself a simple question: Do you trust you can rely on him to be healthy or is he going to be constantly dinged up and miss games, and/or not be full strength for games?
Personally, I believe the ladder is true. Although, there’s still plenty of time before poles has to make that decision.

Dude…what do you think, all 2nd round picks earn 2nd contracts? Most of them bust or end up not being as good as their team hoped. You don’t have to extend a guy just because you drafted them in the 2nd round. Most 2nd round picks in the NFL are “rentals.” Hell, a large percentage of 1st round picks are too.

Gordon has missed more time than brisker.
Why is he getting a 2nd contract then? lol

He’ll earn a 2nd contract somewhere. You have to weigh a lot of things when handing out extensions. Getting solid play from a 2nd rounder over 4 years at a cheap price isn’t a wasted pick either. It’s not a home run, but I’d call it a double.

He’s playing fine but he’s already missing action. Considering his play style, I’m pretty sure this will pop up again. Or some other injury. Again, this could change over the next 2 years but as of now, I would not extend him. If he continues to grow and play well and is available on the field over the next 2 years, then I may change my mind. Currently, I think he’s a bit overrated. Solid player, but replaceable

No if he retires due to injury then you still owe him guaranteed money as that is usually guaranteed for injury.

Who said he is and concusssions are a bigger issue than other injuries? Thought this point would be obvious.

More like year and a half as he is a free agent after next year. I suspect they do the same as they did with Jenkins and say no extension talks until midseason next year.

If Poles won’t give up on a bust like VJJ because he’s one of his prized draft picks, why would anyone believe that Poles would give up on a young star Safety that is also one of his prized draft picks?
Brisker and Gordon will be extended by the end of this upcoming offseason. The person that I’m worried about is Stevenson the following offseason, because he will command serious money if he continues on his current trajectory. Stevenson’s talent is not a big drop off from Johnson, but I’m not sure there will be enough DB-designated money remaining. Also, Dexter will be eligible for an extension that same offseason.

Jones hasn't been om the active roster since week 2. I think he's been pretty much given up on.

My favorite teams
if you do let him go then maybe you can get one of those elusive comp picks.

You don't dish out contracts for what a player did, you dish it out for what they will do.
And he'll have given 4 years of starting play, so it's not a waste of a 2nd round pick at all. You sound silly.

Gordon is an impact player. Brisker is not. He’s good not great. I’d risk extending Gordon over brisker in a heartbeat.
