If you can convince yourself that minimum-wage Leman (at $310,000) could fill in as well as Anderson, you just saved yourself $700,000. The fact that both Connor and Johnson have positional flexibility helps.

Make a similar move with S Nate Salley (and Dante Wesley's move to safety might be the first step toward that), you just cleared another $1.01 million off the books. Figure if Wesley can play backup SS, they keep rookie CB Captain Munnerlyn and save another $700,000.

That's $1.4 million worth of cap room with no consequence, since Anderson and Salley were restricted free agents, with no bonuses to hit the books if they leave.

Might not sound like much, but that could be the difference between trading for a veteran DT with a contract, and dumpster-diving for cheap help later.

nate salley is an obvious one.

imo, so is landon johnson. can't stay healthy and on the active roster? you're wasting money. at least morgan gave us reason to keep him around. we saw what he could do. with landon johnson what have we seen? that he was the lead tackler for the bengals for 2 years and did nothing here except get hurt. him getting hurt in TC was fortunate for him because we couldn't see how all the UDFAs would outshine him.

i like leman and connor. i like anderson as well....he wouldn't have the number of tackles that those other guys would have but his ability to sit back and make a big play is pretty nice. what i see in him, though, is trade bait.

i like ivy and think he has a lot of potential. i think we would be Ok having him as the 6th LB if adding anderson to a trade could help us get that big butt butterball bulldozing DT. think of anderson's preseason performance as an audition tape/commercial.

      a tip of the cap to the Special Juan

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
