TheSpecialJuan 8,974 Report post Posted February 12 Bill VothVerified account @PanthersBill FollowFollow @PanthersBill More Remember some recent years when the Panthers have lacked a certain toughness in the secondary? Based on last year’s sample size, pretty sure Eric Reid fills that role. 10:53 AM - 11 Feb 2019 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Huddler 13,994 Report post Posted February 12 2 hours ago, LinvilleGorge said: I hope he bounces back and can contribute. If he can't, then we basically only have two NFL caliber CBs on the roster. I'll need to check my math on this, but off the top of my head, I'm thinking that ain't good. idk. let me know thats very complicated math Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Verge 1,899 Report post Posted February 12 He is paid better than Lamarcus Joyner, Harrison Smith, Earl Thomas, and Malcolm Jenkins. This signing is pretty mediocre, especially since Reid had zero leverage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This signing is pretty mediocre, especially since Reid had zero leverage. No, every one of those guys has a higher average yearly salary on their current or most recent contract. Only Joyner has/had a smaller total contract because it was a 1 year deal. Joyner and Thomas will be free agents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zaximus 6,766 Report post Posted February 12 Maybe he was overpaid a bit, but we have to consider that him signing this early in the offseason allows us flexibility to see where we stand, before the draft and for other FA signings. Maybe that little bit of overpay was worth that. I still think it's not a bad contract, and if he was average with no off-season and playing out of position then he should be just fine with those things corrected. The entire defense was weak last year. Even Luke looked average before Rivera took over the defense to be fair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
