Hoping the Ravens make this a game with a TD here

Can Taylor swift dump this dude already? He’s doing nothing for my fantasy team

After they couldn’t stop a thing on the TD drive, they have locked it down.

Borderline PI

Ok Monken it’s time to adjust

Alright that was BS. Guy was going backwards.

It’s been pretty evenly called lol

The Ravens OC is good. The play calling has been impressive so far.

He's good enough to get as many fluff pieces as they wanna write about him.

Having a great offensive line can make almost any NFL back look like a star. That Philly line were absolute road graders. The tush push was basically unstoppable that season.

Yea it’s rare. The ring chaser type is an already accomplished vet that’s made millions already. And even then it’s still rare. We don’t see Julio Jones signing on the chiefs for nothing after all. There’s a sentiment I’ve seen over the years that the Panthers have a team specific FA tax but all teams pay it. Most players are overpaid on the open market. It’s just the way it goes.

If someone offered me 21 million dollars to do my job, I wouldn't take a pay cut either haha

Gimmie the receivers. We have a young QB that needs reliable targets. Good receiving TEs are a QB's best friend.

The contract they gave him had to be restructured or extended. They pushed so much of the cap hit towards the end that it forces the hand of the front office in the last couple years.

Nobody gets a discount. It's rare but sometimes a ring chaser will give a discount. >90% of the time they go where the money is. That's free agency. That's why drafting is so critical.

I think it was one of the only ways they could be compliant with the cap by the deadline for 2024

Now we have room to cut Miles Sanders next year lol

That’s an interesting idea. Do other teams do that?

Last thing I’ll say because I’m not trying to throw virtual hands at the only other people that can tolerate Panthers fandom. i don’t think the deal we signed Moton to in 2020 was bad. But if we’re talking about extending a 30+ year old Moton in 2025? I’m triggered unless it’s really cheap.

Again I'm not saying he's a bad player. He's a good player. But you can't pay every good player like they're a great player. That's my point. That's it. I don't know why we have so much trouble as a fanbase accepting this reality. I hope it works out, but in my opinion you draft guys like Robert Hunt and you let teams like the Panthers give them 100 million dollar deals. You don't use those picks on what we've used them on. That's been our biggest problem forever. Paying the wrong guys at the wrong time. It goes back beyond Jake and double trouble.

Here's an example of an all pro season too.

You forgot one
