    Can the Carolina Panthers rely on Joey Slye? I believe in Slye so hopefully he's got his mind right.

    What are the Carolina Panthers going to do with Brady Christensen? I think we will start mixing him in at guard throughout this year barring injuries and he becomes a starter at LG either late this season or next year.

    How can the Carolina Panthers maximize Jeremy Chinn’s impact? Two words, Kam Chancellor. Move him around constantly depending on the personnel and scheme of the offense we're playing. I see him playing close to the line (disguised blitzs?) to keep the offense guessing. Have him cover stud TEs like Pitts. He needs to be where we believe the ball is going. Let everyone else do their job and let's funnel him to the action.

    How can the Carolina Panthers keep Christian McCaffrey healthy? Rivera ran CMC into the ground. I'd like to see him and Chubba on the field at the same time and give McCaffrey some more looks outside. This can also setup end around runs to keep the defense on their toes. Other than that stop giving McCaffrey 90%+ of the snaps. At least carrying the ball...

    How can the Carolina Panthers build Sam Darnold’s confidence? Establish a fuging running game.

    His Agent will push for Trent Scott money, but i'm thinking the contract will be more of the Taylor Lewan size (slightly bigger)....but who knows. I just hope he stays healthy so he can get a decent extension. He deserves it. 

    Did you mean Trent Williams? Cause Trent Scott is making about 900k this season lol. I'm 100% down with that deal!

    Just a little speculation on what Moton's contract will look like if/when we resign him and god I hope we do. Below are some of the contracts for the highest paid tackles in the league. To be honest I had no idea they were this expensive. Lane Johnson is currently the highest paid RT with 18 million a year.

    If I had to venture a guess I'd say 5 or 6 years averaging 19-20 million a year with 50/60 million guaranteed.

    The highest-paid offensive tackles in the NFL | 6-10

    Which offensive tackles sit in the bottom half of the top 10 when it comes to average annual value (AAV)?

    10) D.J. Humphries, Arizona Cardinals | AAV: $14.75 million

    Humphries will enter the 2021 season as the highest-paid among offensive tackles in terms of salary cap number. He was behind only Jake Matthews with a 2021 cap number of $19.9 million. However, Matthews restructured his deal heading into the new league year, leaving Humphries atop the list.

    The reason for the large cap number for Humphries this season is because he counted just $5.7 million against the cap in 2020. This was due to a restructure ahead of the 2020 season, which converted $10.59 million of his base salary in 2020 into a signing bonus. With his $15.1 million base salary guaranteed for 2021, it would cost the Cardinals $23.76 million in dead money to release him.

    9) Taylor Decker, Detroit Lions | AAV: $14.9 million

    Decker signed his five-year contract extension ahead of the 2020 season. The deal is worth $59.65 million, with an AAV just below $15 million. His contract contained $29 million fully guaranteed at signing; another $8.5 million will become guaranteed on the fifth day of the 2021 league year.

    Featured | NFL Team-by-Team Salary Cap and Cap Space for 2021

    On March 21, Decker will receive a $12 million option bonus. This option bonus makes it difficult for the Lions to move on from Decker until at least 2023. Releasing Decker after 2021 would leave $15.75 million in dead money for the Lions.

    😎 Nate Solder, New York Giants | AAV: $15.5 million

    Solder will be the fifth-highest-paid offensive tackle in the NFL in terms of cap number. Solder’s cap number will be $16.5 million. This is due to Solder restructuring his deal in 2019. Additionally, Solder opted out of the 2020 season, which means the 2021 season is the third year of his deal instead of the final year. Solder counted $5.6 million against the Giants cap in 2020 despite not playing. He had a $3 million roster bonus and $2.5 million in restructure bonus.

    The Giants could potentially get out of Solder’s deal this offseason. Releasing Solder would save the Giants $6 million in salary cap space while leaving $10.5 million in dead money. In addition, after the 2021 season, the Giants could save $14 million in cap space in 2022 by releasing Solder.

     

    7) Taylor Lewan, Tennessee Titans | AAV: $16 million

    When he signed his deal, Taylor Lewan topped the list of highest-paid OTs in the NFL. Lewan’s five-year contract extension was worth $80 million, at an average of $16 million per year. 2021 will be the third year of the deal and marks a significant milestone for the Titans.

    There are no more guarantees remaining on the deal for the Titans. Therefore, Tennessee can release him with limited dead money at any point between now and the end of the deal. Lewan will count a relatively modest $13.7 million against the Titans’ salary cap in 2021.

    6) Garett Bolles, Denver Broncos | AAV: $17 million

    During the 2020 NFL season, the Broncos and Bolles agreed to a four-year contract extension. The deal is worth $68 million — an average of $17 million per year. 2021 will be the first official year of Bolles’ extension. However, Bolles will count just $5 million against the Broncos’ salary cap in 2021. Those cap numbers will jump to $21 million, $18 million, and $20 million, respectively, in the next three years.

    At signing, $21 million was fully guaranteed — $20 million came in a signing bonus, with a $1 million base salary in 2021. On the fifth day of the 2021 league year, another $17 million in base salary in 2022 will become fully guaranteed.

    The highest-paid offensive tackles in the NFL | 2-5

    Which offensive tackles make up the top five in terms of the highest-paid at the position?

    5) Lane Johnson, Philadelphia Eagles | AAV: $18 million

    Johnson ranks as the highest-paid among offensive tackles who play on the right side of the line. Johnson has been a long-term part of an Eagles offensive line that has garnered a lot of respect in the past decade. After agreeing to a contract extension in 2019, Johnson still has five years remaining on his current deal. The four-year extension was worth $72 million at $18 million per year.

    In 2021, Johnson will count $17.8 million against the cap. His cap number varies between $14.1 million in 2022 and $21.3 million in 2023. It would not be a surprise to see the Eagles shift some of his salary in 2021 into 2022 to reduce that cap number this year.

    4) Ronnie Stanley, Baltimore Ravens | AAV: $19.75 million

    Stanley signed a new deal during the 2020 season. At the time of signing the deal, he was only behind Houston Texans LT Laremy Tunsil in terms of highest-paid OTs. His five-year contract extension is worth $98.75 million, with an AAV of $19.75 million.

    In 2021, Stanley will count $15.25 million against the Ravens’ salary cap. In terms of guarantees, Stanley received $22.5 million in signing bonus and has a further $17 million guaranteed in terms of base salaries in 2021 and 2022.

    3) Laremy Tunsil, Houston Texans | AAV: $22 million

    Entering the final year of his deal in 2020, Tunsil and the Texans agreed to a three-year contract extension. The contract extension is worth $66 million. The extension made Tunsil the highest-paid OT in the league heading into the 2020 NFL season.

    Tunsil’s extension contained $40 million in fully guaranteed money, with a further $10 million in base salary for 2022 becoming fully guaranteed on the third day of the 2021 league year. This deal should keep Tunsil in Houston until at least 2023, at which point the Texans will have an opportunity to move on from the deal.

    2) David Bakhtiari, Green Bay Packers | AAV: $23 million

    During the 2020 NFL season, OT David Bakhtiari became the highest-paid player among offensive tackles in the NFL. The Packers left tackle signed a four-year contract extension worth $92 million. The deal contained a $30 million signing bonus, which was all that was guaranteed in the contract.

    Bakhtiari was due to count around $19 million against the Packers’ salary cap in 2021. However, following a contract restructure, he will count $11 million against the cap in 2021. Those cap numbers will rise to $22.8 million in 2022, before going to $26.3 million and $30.3 million in the final two years of the deal.

    With Bakhtiari having signed this deal at age 30, a contract of similar value will likely be the target for Trent Williams when free agency begins on March 17, potentially leading him to be the highest-paid OT in the future.

    Who is the highest-paid offensive tackle in the NFL?

    1) Trent Williams, San Francisco 49ers | AAV: $23.01 million

    The 49ers and Trent Williams reportedly agreed to a six-year deal worth $138.06 million in the early hours of March 17. Of that $55.1 million is guaranteed, with a $30.1 million signing bonus. Williams just becomes the highest-paid among offensive tackles in terms of AAV and signing bonus.

    Battlefield 2042 Trailer & Information

    Loved the trailer and the callback to the rendezook from BF3. So hype for the gameplay drop on the 13th. Releases in October.

    The next Battlefield game is called Battlefield 2042, and it'll be out this October. It's set in the near-future (think Boston Dynamics robot dogs, not laser guns), but for once the setting isn't the biggest thing to talk about. In fact, it's the least interesting thing about Battlefield 2042, which I may never have said about another Battlefield game. Here are the important facts:

    • The max player count has been doubled to 128 on PC and the new consoles
    • The 128-player maps are divided into sectors containing clusters of control points; capture all the control points in a sector to control it
    • Classes (engineer, assault, support, etc) are now categories that contain specialists. Each specialist has a backstory and unique gadget, but can carry any gun.
    • Gadgets we've seen: A grappling hook, a health/revive gun (think Doc in Rainbow Six Siege), an auto-turret (think Team Fortress 2), a movement sensor (to catch people sneaking up on you while you're sniping)
    • 10 specialists at launch 
    • Purchasable battle passes: four seasons and four new specialists per year
    • Post-launch maps will all be free
    • "Levolution" is back, baby. What we've seen: tornadoes lift players and vehicles into a vortex, a sandstorm blots out the sky, a space rocket launches (or maybe explodes)
    • Everyone has a wingsuit
    • Some vehicles have spotter seats (a small detail but I like the sound of it)
    • No battle royale, but there are some mystery modes
    • No singleplayer campaign
