One Year Later, Would You Still Be Interested?

Last year it seemed like once Steve Smith was released everyone, including myself, wanted Dave Gettleman to sign And bring home Hakeem Nicks. As we all know he went off to Indianapolis and didn't have a great season. Now a year later he is back on the market and I believe he could still be a good for the Panthers. He is still young and will be going into his year 27 season at the beginning of the year. He didn't have a great year so I believe he will come cheaply and possibly less than what he got last year. I know we need speed but this move wouldn't prevent us from taking someone in the draft and bringing back Ginn. Originally I was all aboard the Torrey Smith bandwagon, but after seeing what he rejected in Baltimore I am not holding my breath.

So a year later does Hakeem Nicks still interest you guys?

He's overated and has no serious upside or potential. For the vet min sure, but not what he's going to ask for.

I'd be perfectly happy to bring him here. Good player. Big game experience. I'm not too worried about cost because I'm confident DG won't overpay. I'd say he's worth a little more than vet min though. Him, Ginn, and a rookie, plus what we have. I'm more satisified with that than not.

He just seems like the typical Gettleman signing this year. Will draw very little interest and probably could be cheap. If you june 1st cut cotchery you save 1.5 million this year. I don't hate this offense

And that's with no rookies. Sprinkle in one or two and you've got yourself one of them there football teams as the kids say.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not sure why everyone keeps talking about the Panthers paying him $50M/year. I don't recall anyone EVER saying he deserves that. I think something like what the Dolphins signed Malik Willis to would be good: 3 years, $67.5M but it will probably be something along the lines of Mayfield or Darnold which is around $35M/year.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
