Kinda torn on this one. Generally I think it's a bad idea to pay FA RBs. On the other hand, this deal is really not bad at all.

Was expecting him to get around 5 year, 55-60 mill as a FA. 4 years with only 15 guaranteed is very reasonable. Even if he completely flops, it won't hurt the team that much. And if he balls out at maxes out the deal, it's still only a little over $8 mill a year at most. Honestly, don't hate it.

Video released of Morgan negotiating a 4th for Mingo...

Jerry Jones suffering from dementia, confirmed.

I'm glad it worked out, but the idea that we made a pick based on somebody's wife thinking the guy had a cool name is just insane. Really shows our FO has no idea WTF they are doing and literally just throwing darts at a board and praying.

We beat the swamp mirror match of the Panthers, by a whopping 1 point, with help from the refs all day. Let's wait a bit before we start planning the parade. Morgan still has a long ways to go before he proves that he's a competent GM.

Watching these two teams be like...

Bryce threw him a terrible ball that got him a helmet to his wrist as he was catching the ball.

 

Basically Bryce got him injured. 

on a pass that's just about the easiest possible throw you can give your QB

Playcall was fine. That's an easy 1st if Bryce doesn't throw up a slow zero-velocity rainbow on a 2 yard pass.

JT Sanders... the new Greg Olsen?

fug it, season is trash anyway, let's see how many personal fouls we can rack up whenever we play the Saints

Coker and XL... the new Smitty and Moose?

after seeing this dirty ass team intentionally trying to injure Herbet the week before, literally zero fugs taking cheap shots on them

if you're the saints just go two TEs and run the ball literally every play. you will never punt. this isn't complicated

bro this defense lmao

guys look like they've already given up and the game just started

31-3 when it matters. Couple garbage time TDs from Bryce. Final score 31-17 Saints.

Your options are QB or trade down. I can see the argument for both of those options, but staying at 1 and picking a non-QB is a disaster. You sacrifice an absurd amount of value.

You can only trade down a few spots if you still want to stay in that top elite player range. Probably end up still getting the guy you would have taken at 1 anyway. Staying put at 1 and going with a non-QB seems like such a fugup that it shouldn't even be considered an option. So that's probably what the Panthers will do.

ex-NFL exec tells Pat McAfee Diontae Johnson deal was a 'ridiculous trade' by Panthers

Still completely baffled at how little we got in return. Noted obese person Kelvin Benjamin netted a 3rd rounder and all Morgan can get for Diontae is moving up 10 spots in the 5th/6th AND you agree to pay his salary. This team is run by idiots.

My patented "ignore the QBs, trade down over and over and over" draft strategy.

He needs to start hitting the first read of the plays when they’re open 

Competent QBs can read defenses presnap, see where their best matchups are and already know where they're going with the ball.

Then have good footwork with fast fundamentally sound dropbacks.

See the field well and decisive with their decisions on where to go with the ball.

And an NFL caliber arm, get the ball out quickly and deliver it with velocity.

Bryce can do none of these things.

I'd say trade down but my confidence in Dan Morgan to negotiate a good deal is worse than zero.

We really going to pay out a huge contract to a FA RB, after having just spent a 2nd rounder on one... and having one of the worst defenses of all time?

Holy sheet, I just saw that the Panthers also agreed to pay off almost all of DJ salary as well. The Ravens are only on the hook for 625k, Panthers end up paying over $17 million for him to end up playing for someone else. That was one of the few benefits of trading him away and you caved on that too?

What. The. Fug.
