I doubt they're serious. But if they're chronic they're worsening and it caused him to miss games last year while having his workload carefully managed. If we were trying to squeeze a couple more years out of a SB window I would better understand it but that's the opposite of our current situation. IMO, this was clearly a situation where you let the guy play out this season and see how it goes. You always have the option of the franchise tag in your back pocket if need be.

I gave you a quote from the man himself above.

How many of them are dealing with chronic knee issues that have to be managed? I just don't understand extending him when he was already under contract for this season. Why not see how his knees hold up? He's been an iron man throughout his career but finally kissed some games last year due to knee pain that according to him is due to chronic issues. You know what doesn't improve with age and continuing to play football? Chronic knee issues.

Just a reminder, straight from the horse's mouth... “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it," Moton said of his knee. "But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future." So yeah, we're re-upping a guy on the other side of 30 who himself admits that he's dealing with chronic knee issues.

There are a grand total of 14 OTs on NFL rosters over the age of 32.

Not familiar with the Vikings' roster but

I'm not opposed to it IF we're confident XL is ready to deliver AND that Renfrow can stay healthy. I didn't like how he reached for that hammy after that hospital ball last night.

Have you been following the Panthers for long because yeah, that sounds exactly like something the Panthers would do. LOL

If we're as concerned about that knee as rumors made it out then I would've definitely wanted to see how it held up this year before giving him a bunch of new money. I mean, there were retirement rumors this off-season due to that knee.

I'm almost certain he isn't.

I hope that knee holds up. As long as he stays healthy it should prove worth it but man, there's been way too much smoke about that knee for there not to be some fire there.

He's been nursing an injury but I don't think it's serious and he's expected to be ready to go week one. A lot of guys who are held out this time of year due to injury would be playing if it was the regular season.

I think 4-6 wins is a LOT more likely than 9+.

I voted 2. I'd say overall similar to last year. I'm way more excited about football in general about to start back up than I am for Panthers football specifically.

Sounds about right.

5 wins, give or take 1 or 2.

Our ST coach looks like they found his ass holding a sign about will work for food at the intersection before the game.

Honestly, kinda seems like Renfrow doesn't expect to make the roster.

Moehrig pulling no punches. Basically just straight up said that Ransom should be the other starting safety. Interesting.

Good lord

The Steelers just did the old video game trick of running punt block as a defense

Holy facemask LOL

Plummer is gonna get somebody hurt. Please get him out of the game.

And the Steelers' third stringer just did that. LOL

It's pretty wild someone this bad ever signed an NFL contract, period.
