  1. I don't know that I agree that it is a QB heavy draft class in 2026. A chunk of the "upper end" projected guys are players that could have gone pro this year in a very, very weak class and opted not to. If Manning proves to be a flameout, it might look pretty similar to the current 2025 class in terms of strength.
  2. Definitely. I think he would have struggled to match the expectations here based on the salary.
  3. It isn't an upgrade on anything other than depth. I don't think this is a guy they signed with thoughts of him being a starter. If it is, we are royally fuged.
  4. I mean....I definitely don't see that at all. I certainly hope you are right.
  5. Early signings are almost always bigger deals. Nothing unusual. I would have been happy to have him but $26 mil is just not a price I would have been happy about.
  6. I mean....players are not going to be beating down the doors to play here, either. Keep that in mind. I have zero doubt that quite a few players we had interest in were not interested in us at all.
  7. The answer to improved depth, maybe. This is not anywhere near a top 40 DE/EDGE in the NFL.
  8. Lol. No. This is a depth signing. He is a backup.
  9. I wish maybe we had focused on a bit more affordable option than Williams. I think maybe we really put all our eggs in that basket.
  10. Well, they are unlikely to land anywhere near as good a LT with those draft picks. It does make some sense even outside a "win now" perspective.
  11. I suspect incentive laden and nothing near $10 mil/yr. He's a backup caliber player.
  12. Looks like we might have shifted gears to 2nd and 3rd tier guys. That's actually fine. We need so much quality depth, it makes a ton of sense.
  13. Rotational guy. It's a weak group, so it isn't nothing.
  14. He might be a star in that Pete Carroll system.
  15. He did only have two more years left on his deal, maybe the extension talks really did not go well.
  16. How have we been unable to get in on ANY DL deals aside from Williams? Seems like we are letting the upper tier and a chunk of the middle tier DL names get past us.
  17. I think it all hinges on what we are able to cobble together in the offseason. That was the worst group of defensive players to ever suit up in Panthers uniforms. Even had Brown and Shaq been healthy, that would have been the case. We have to see what the lineup looks like. I still suspect it will be a bottom 10 defense.
  18. I mean that is a good haul for him but why on earth??? They have a young QB and they trade one of the best LT's around???? That's nuts.
  19. TBH, I am not sure "leaps and bounds better" is actually achievable in just one offseason. If we move towards the upper end of the bottom 10 defenses, I would consider that adequate progress overall. Quite a bit more building in store for the next couple of offseasons.
  20. Look at the cap hit next year. Lol....he will get restructured again.
  21. Agreed but we need more than the few resources we have in the draft. Some FA signings will have to happen.
