For an “all star” coaching staff, this is some sloppy fuging play

Doubtful to return with a hamstring injury is the latest I’ve seen per the team

Hate to say it but Horn is made of glass.

I'm assuming Panthers are using Chubb, Miller, Crosby guarantees as the baseline and Burns' camp is pointing to Mack, J. Bosa, Watt range. Compromise and do something in the $80m range IMO.

I don't think Burns is going to get $100m+ guaranteed at signing but I'm pretty sure he's going to get meaningfully more than Miller, Chubb, and Crosby at signing. Probably in the $65-75m+ range IMO.

Micah Parsons is going to get more $ than Nick Bosa even though according to that chart his stats aren't at the same level. It's not an analytical discussion, it's production vs. precedent. Both come into play.

I think at the end of the day Burns is going to get something like $27m/year with $75-80m of it guaranteed at signing. Basically Joey Bosa/TJ Watt money.

Tecklenburg was cut

Get the sense Deion Jones may be brought back and was only cut because he won't have to pass through waivers

I agree with you in terms of his 2024 base/cap hit, but next year it's structured to be fairly cheap, no? I think he ranks outside the top 50 in terms of base salary alone and his total cap hit for 2023 is ranked 26th among RBs next year. Not RB by committee numbers but (in the context of this thread), the Eagles top 2 RBs add up to $3.75m total cap hit which would rank 14th just behind Bijan Robinson and ahead of Najee Harris.

I think Chark is more of a fit since we need someone to take the top off the defense. I wouldn't mind signing Leonard Floyd to a short-term deal to start at OLB opposite Burns either.

I can't say I'm a HUGE fan of it, but I understand the rationale as he's a complete back that catches out of the backfield and will probably be our rookie QB's safety valve. Also, it's not that bad of a contract - it's really a 2-year deal and then the Panthers can move on without too much of a hit, if necessary. There's no guaranteed salary after the 2024 season, so cutting him out right would leave just under $3m of dead money and free up just over $5m of cap space. We'd just be on the hook for the remaining prorated signing bonus: https://overthecap.com/player/miles-sanders/7844

Just looked it up, based on AAV it's the 20th ranked contract among TEs. Similar to Tyler Higbee and Josh Oliver, less than Will Dissly, CJ Uzomah, and Logan Thomas. Not terrible I guess.

Woof, not sure about that contract given how slow the TE market has been so far?

So if I'm reading this right, his cap number for 2023 is only $2.72m, right? $4.92m signing bonus prorated over 3 years is $1.64m plus the fully guaranteed $1.08m salary for 2023. edit: Looks like there's also a $350k workout bonus so it's $3.07m per OTC. Not bad.

Bro, what WR & TE combo do you think you're getting for $4m? (He has $8m guaranteed over 2 years so that's $4m per) This signing does not preclude the Panthers from picking up a vet WR or TE and the bridge QB signing is vitally important. If you haven't heard, the only two WRs that have signed so far are Allen Lazard and Jakobi Meyers. I don't think any TEs except the Saints guy signed? And we're most likely taking a WR or TE at 39. Patience.

Kunkel says we're going with Gonzalez over Pinero next season

Believe Gantt confirmed Tuttle was signed to be the starting NT

So in a 3-4 base I'm thinking: Brown - Tuttle - ??? Burns - Shaq - Chinn - Luvu on early downs / Burns - Shaq - Luvu - Haynes on obvious pass rush downs? Horn - Woods - Bell - Jackson

I'm a little surprised the Bucs don't want to interview him honestly. Seems like it's Washington or back to KC. It's been reported that the expected OC in Arizona under Gannon will be Browns QB coach Drew Petzing

Not gonna lie, feels like a weird thread when the Eagles O put up 35 points, 25 first downs, and 400+ yards with the only turnover being their QB just flat out dropping the ball. The Eagles D cost them that game.
