Mr. Scot

Person clarifying Ioannidis being gone isn't something he's heard, just his own speculation...

RapSheet throwing cold water...

You wouldn't be alone in that

Ben Powers got a four year deal with 13 million per year. Bozeman's agent is likely looking at that.

Here we go...

That seems to be his M.O. Probably a big reason why teams are willing to talk to him.

I haven't seen that confirmed anywhere in the articles I've read. The only thing that I've seen confirmed is that the Bears really wanted Moore. We definitely hated giving him up but us counter offering a third first rounder instead just isn't on record that I've seen.

This is a valid point

Gantt clarifies where Tuttle fits...

But also means that if you participate in the first wave, you risk paying big money for an inferior player

Gantt has clarified, he sees total as the NT

Gantt From the article: The former Saints defensive tackle gives them another stout run defender as they transition to a new defensive front. Originally an undrafted free agent from Tennessee, Tuttle has started 29 games for the Saints the last two years. (And had a disrespectful interception and stiff-arm of former Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan in 2019). Along with Derrick Brown (who is likely to play as a defensive end in this system), he gives them some more size up front, which is what they needed as they adjust their base defense. Gantt has Brown playing one of the end spots and Tuttle "inside" which isn't necessarily specific in a 3-4. Joe Person is a little more specific though... Sounds pretty well confirmed that brown will be a DE but no definite clarity on Tuttle

Person thinks this means the end for King Leonidas Sorry to see. I liked him.

If they sign him, it'll be because they believe they can coach him into at least a serviceable backup.

Everything I've read makes me think the Panthers do want a veteran bridge / mentor.

I don't think Derrick Brown goes to nose. I expect him to be one of the DEs

He is. I'm just speculating

At this point, I'm starting to feel like this might be the way they go.

Edit: I'm a step slow today

It was in the middle of the huge trade thread. Probably a lot of people haven't seen it.
