Today will be telling. Don't get me wrong - I hope we land a solid LB, but I just don't want to see over-our-ski shenanigans. Feel like Tillis is a sound mind in our FO so hope the steadiness of his approach wins out. So sure, land a guy. But if we see a headline later today like- "Panthers sign Lloyd to a $22 mil/year", that'll be tough to swallow/scream a bit too much desperation. Sure, cap is whatever to us fans, but do we really want to be THAT team? Desperately paying an offball LB who doesn't excel in coverage more than Roquan and Fred Warner. Just seems dicey. Draft wise, I'm heavy on the CJ Allen train (waiting until post-FA to discuss more); think he's perfect for what we need and in ideal range. Pair him with Edmunds who you can sign for like $10-12 mil/yr.

Being worried about Geno Smith stealing your job, lol. I thought being mentally tough was Bryce's strength? Sounds pretty weak to me.

I never feel good after reading it. It only fulfills me if I keep it strictly to music, sports, specific interests that have no overlap with any current events. Which is hard to do. But it can be done. That is why I like a message board that is a one trick pony. This one is about the Panthers and NFL ball. I have a favorite music one, fishing and boating, according to my interests.

My fault. I misread your post. I do agree with you though.

Hes the people’s choice because they YouTube Devin Lloyd and see him making 5 interceptions last season and don’t actually watch the games

Yep. Every single platform is a toxic wasteland. Including this one sometimes.

Social media is a poison in general.

Okay but I didn’t say anything about 21 million. Lloyd is the people’s choice for one of the top handful of FA targets. A star. I said starting level. Lots of names with lower prices fit that description

I would be happy with Freeling or Fano in R1. I really don't see how we don't draft OL in R1. I honestly could see us trade back for one of our mid round picks to grab one extra and draft up to 3 linemen in this draft. There is good guard/swing linemen available rounds 4 and later.

A starting level pro at 21 million who was often subbed out on 3rd down? No thanks. That’s something incompetent franchises do. There’s so many other FA LB’s that would give us similar production at a cheaper rate

One crap hole into another. Both twitter and bluesky suck.

We have absolutely been short sighted. Fixated on weapons for Bryce mostly. And that stupid fuging trade to 1.1, all those picks. It cuts your options down so bad. And as bad as it was, we made it worse by creating a huge hole where there wasn’t one with DJ Moore. How many picks were spent trying to fill that hole? Combine them with the picks sent to Chicago…. it’s bartender give me another…. I think it was highly likely that they used a later pick on OT in this draft due to Moton’s situation, before the Icky stuff. We can’t know now.

We don't have deep pockets this year. Morgan is having to sit on the sidelines of the first couple of rounds of free agency before he can dive in and begin competing. Right now, if it's a name you're really familiar with out there... don't expect us to get them.

This is after he spent a 3rd rounder on Wallace who at this point seems like a lost cause

We don’t know that yet. And, I am hoping a diamond is in the draft, whoever they sign. To me the idea is get a starting level pro, and draft his sidekick who hopefully will outshine him in year two. That doesn’t mean pay the star though.

I sort of think it is and isn't with regards to our tackle situation. I see tackle like QB. Even if you have 2 decent starting tackles, you need to be developing one behind them constantly. Expecting both tackles to make it through the season unscathed is not reasonable, nor is it reasonable to think you can pay both tackles elite tackle money. Always have to be developing a backup plan. 2 elite tackles and a QB on his 2nd contract can easily eat over half your cap space. That's not sustainable long term. I don't blame Dan for what happened to Icky, but I think we've been short sighted since drafting him. We've pretty much ignored OL in the draft and that's not something you can do with the attrition rate of OL.

The Broncos ate an 85 million cap charge and recovered fairly well. Adjusted for cap inflation, that cap charge is nearly the same.

If we signs Lloyd, the fact that our GM who played LB has to sign the most expensive off ball LB to finally solve the issue is embarrassing. Cant even find a “diamond in the rough” at the position he should know the best.

Sounds like biz as usual is wtf. I was kind of out on Geno anyway, after last season. Also hoping for younger with a possible future. And lord forbid Bryce would have to worry about a guy waiting for him to fug up. So, maybe don’t fug up. Simple. That is the idea.

People will look at his 5 interceptions and come to the conclusion he can cover smh What’s even more frustrating about it is that there’s never been an offseason with so many good options at linebacker to choose from between the draft and free agency

Gofundme for Rickey getting a sick nasty VPN to keep Goodell at bay?

I have looked at this Lloyd thing a little sideways since I learned the Jags didn’t pick up the 5th year. But I haven’t looked at film of him or anything. It doesn’t much matter what I see, they have not listened to me once in 30 years. I see these little warning signs, as no joke. Someone needs to dig into the why of all that and I can only hope we have.

He’s been banned 2 or 3 times now as soon as he makes a comeback and posts something Goodell is on to him

Joe Person take on geno Smith "you don't want Bryce looking over his shoulder " Wtf?
