He's supposedly available and could help our SS deficiency. He has underperformed but is still young and the kind of SS that I would prefer this team to take. Don't know what it would cost us nor if TB would trade within the division.

Thoughts??

The Bucs are definitely selling low on him right now, so I wonder if a 3rd would be enough?  A 2nd, might be too much for me, but I honestly was a huuuuge fan of Barron when he came out and was hoping he would some how slip to us.  Safe to say, I would be uber-pissed right now if we had Barron instead of Kuechly.  However, I can easily see us drafting a SS with one of our first three picks in this year's draft, so why not get a young former top-10 pick with 2.5 years of experience.  I feel like Barron would thrive more in a swarming McDermott defense than the bendable version of the Tampa-2 that the Bucs run.

I would love to have him for a 5th rounder but i know that's not going to happen. When was the last time the Panthers traded for somebody? I say the chances for us doing anything is slim to none. The Panthers don't make moves like that. It's against JR religion.

they were LOL at you, not your post. :)

 

I normally cut to the chase in threads where everyone (who knows nothing) is complaining that we don't just go out there and sign a pro bowl OT.  You know, all it takes is the will to do it.

 

Actually, there is nobody worth any more than Bell out there waiting, so in a thread where we think Ron might actually be wanting a better OT, to me, it means we might have to make a trade.

 

Or, we can just piss and moan for 20 pages about why Gman is not signing all the 1st stringers hanging around outside the stadium with signs saying, "will start at OT for food"

At this point the Bucs could probably care less if he gets traded within the division as long as they get a good pick. I say put a 4th rounder on the table and see if they budge. His production over the past 2.5 years does not denote a 3rd rounder or higher. With that said, dude is a gamer and he would thrive in this defense.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
