Yeah before he played those last few games hurt, he was a damn mvp candidate easily.

What they thought he was worth. Injury issues plus the lack of sacks (even after joining Philly) probably the reasoning. He's probably a 20-25m per type of guy, so I don't think it's as massive of an overpay as many do. I mean Philly was willing to pay him 25-27m a season. I fully expect Carolina to move him around and even put him down on the line and even over center on obvious passing downs to get him favorable matchups for quick pressures while also allowing them to have Scourton, Jones and/or Princely on the field on passing downs.

Aho - Svechnikov - Jarvis.

They ranked him actually 34th, which is 9 spot behind Burns who was 25th in their rankings for last year among edges. Not a big gap on grade though 74 for Phillips vs 75.8 for Burns. How did they get their own rankings wrong??? Lol

From what I can say, Wallace will keep the green dot. I just say what I hear. lol

Lloyd next to Wallace gives them two lb that can blitz well and get sacks from inside as well as better coverage so they don't have to rely on Wallace to always drop into zone, they'll be able to get him downhill attacking the los more comparatively to what they did last year. Also adding Philips means Scranton sees less double teams and should open him up as a pass rusher and allows them to bring Princely on the field on obvious passing downs to rush the passer because they can move Phillips down onto the line in those situations. So on obvious passing downs the front seven will probably look like this majority of the time. Edge - Scourton Dt - Philips NT- Brown Dt - Wharton Edge - Umanmielen/Jones ILB - Lloyd ILB - Wallace

After he took over calling the defense he had 43 tackles, 2 sacks and 3 pd in 8 games. Not exactly bad numbers.

The current plan is for him to go into this season wearing the green dot and being on the field for a super high snap count. The team completely (along with the players) give him credit for the defenses improved play after he took over the green dot.

They like Wallace as the green dot and running the defense. Inside the building probably thinks LB is set.

Heard the team isn't planning on releasing Tremble, so they probably backed out of all of these.

At 31.58m before any of the signings.

Best guess just off rough numbers from above which will be high compared to the real first year #'s, they still have around 9-10m left.

My guess on Phillips is 15 25 35 45 80m guaranteed breaking down as 30m signing bonus 2026&2027 base salary. 10m kicker in 2028 that guaranteed for injury but doesn't realize til 5th day of lgy. Devin Loyld 5 15 25 Signing bonus of 10m 2026&2027 fully guaranteed

Goes hand in hand with the converted portion but not many know how NFL contracts work and get all bent out of shape when these get announced... (Even though a lot of them are built into the contract and happen automatically)

The restructuring of Brown, gives the Panthers 31.58m before the free agent deals.

The Panthers converted $16.9M of DL Derrick Brown's salary into signing bonus, adding 2 void years, clearing $13.5M of cap space in 2026. Gives the team 31.58m before the FA signings. Updated Cap Hits 2026: $10.9M 2027: $31.3M 2028: $32.3M 2029: $6.6M (void) https://x.com/i/status/2031680161649676344

Yet he's hit on every signing the Panthers have made, hours before it was announced by anyone else. Lol

These refs suck.

What a BS call against Svechnikov, absolutely horse poo

The Stankoven line is playing really good.

Ehlers back. Whew

Yeah that's immediately what I thought

I mean he's called all the other moves before they were announced by anyone else...

I think it might be safe to say we have a goalie problem going into the playoffs....so same as usual. Lol

Problem is that the organization and Rod doesn't consider Stankoven the 2nd center... That's Steal (they are considered the second line of the team for all intents and purposes by the staff) they think Logan is fine as a third center... and grrrr
