Hardy, Kalil, DeAngelo, Stewart, Bell, Charles Johnson: Who will be back next year?


Sam Mills Fan

Should?  Hardy, Stewart, Kalil and Bell as a backup if his numbers are less than the ludicrous $2mil he's hustling the Panthers for this year.

 

Will?  Kalil, Stewart, Bell (probably with pay raise for facing the hardship of trying to block all those big meanie DEs), CJ

Hardy - gone, sadly (if not-guilty)

CJ -  massive paycut but most likely, gone (ATL signs him and he becomes a beast again after getting over injuries)

Bell - back, probably starting at RT or hopefully on the bench lol

DWill - gone, maybe bring back if he wants a new cheaper contract

Kalil -  paid too much as a center, needs to take a pay cutt/restruct/cut and resign or something

Stewart - same as DWill maybe

 

Gettleman will let Hardy/CJ walk and say the line is fine.  Next year's DLine is this year's Oline.

Kalil needs to stay. You think our line sht now lets just get rid of our probowl center. Brilliant.

 

 

Deangelo needs to go. Johnson staying is all dependent on what happens with Hardy in my opinion. Stewart has to restructure to stay. Don't give a damn about Bell at this point.

As said ad nauseam for the past couple of years, you can never include Stew in these conversations. His contract makes doing ANYTHING impossible unless he decides to straight up forgo money out of the kindness of his heart:

So if we cut Stew, he won't be a 8.3 cap hit?

    • I work with social emotional learning and I don't know why a player with all the tools (to Snow's point) sucks when he was a top 10 player in college.  It is not talent, and it is usually not due to some learning disability-.  It comes down to dispositions or emotions in a lot of cases. The reason I pointed out Simmons in particular is because he was drafted to be a DC's new weapon.  I have friends who played in the NFL and they talk about the amount they throw at you--and those were guys who played 1 position.  Simmons shows his ability on special teams--where you are a bit more turned loose than scripted or forced to read blocking schemes or pass routes, etc.  See ball, get ball.  Simmons has been tried at CB, nickel, S , LB edge and he has had 5 different coordinators if you do not count the STs guy.  This would overwhelm most people.  Nobody knows what it does to your confidence and motivation to go from the best player on your team and a top college player to getting cut.   I just think that players like this can be saved.  To say, "He just isn't good" is not to answer the question, "Why was this not noticed during the interviews?  game film?  Combine?  References?  etc.  No, there has to be something more to it than that.  I think Isaiah needs one job and that job should be aligned with a strength.  If he fails then, fine.  Maybe he lost his mojo.  Maybe he never had it.  But to understand what he has been through is to give the guy the benefit of the doubt.  If you played in high school, you got a happy meal version of what it is like in college.  College was an appetizer when compared to pros.  We shall see.  But I am more optimistic about Simmons than I am XL.  Simmons was asked to things most NFL players cannot do.  XL just needs to catch the damn ball in bounds.   Middle schoolers do it every day.
    • This was a super interesting analysis....and I will say I dont think it prevents us from looking at Safety in the draft. IF Ransom takes a step up and outplays Moehrig, there is an out for them after the year as a potential cap cut.  EVEN if not, if you are right and Simmons shows some promise as a Big nickel and Moehrig gets  injured and Ransom looks good (or even if Moehrig looks bad) I could see him being a cap casualty in 2027 as long as we feel we have enough talent there as starting potential.  Lotta football to play and Lotta injuries to happen.  Im hopeful because his measurables are through the roof, but unless they translate you still gotta go with what you got.
    • He’s a leader on this defense. Sometimes you need a guy because he makes those around him better. Talent wise he is a career backup but he’s part of the fabric of this d that’s already gelled.  If you bring in all these new pieces without some of the established leadership you have a lack of focus. This is a good signing.
