Question:

 

Lets say we sign other DTs or draft one or two..  Could this be just an insurance signing. In other words, we go through training camp and we realize we have better players than Cole, could he be cut? Same with Dwan, we bring them both back. Is this an example of setting up the draft with FA?

 

BTW, quoting notifications are down for me. I get pie notifications, but one someone quotes me I only know about it when I re-read through the thread

 

I kind of think they respect him enough to not sign him now and then cut him in TC.

Same here no quote notifications, just pie.

 

And yes this is a perfect example of free agency setting up the draft. Now we have no pressure to draft another run stuffer and start reaching. Makes BPA easier to do.

IDK man, DG can be cold.

 

I think he will take the best 53.

 

Very true. This only means Cole will be at training camp. Getts could still draft his replacement if the board swung that way and the new guy was better than Colin in camp. After all, Cole is a back-up.

If Cole could be cut in/after camp, would you guys think he would be going balls to the wall, really pushing for that spot more than if he knows at this moment in time he will be on the team out of mutual respect?

 

I dont think DG plays that game..

perfect signing.  we'll probably draft a dt to groom for the rotation in the mid to late rounds 

 

 

 

 

"The $1.05 million deal falls under the veteran benefit category, which means they get a salary cap break and he gets a chance to hang around another year."

... classified under an NFL rule known as the "veteran minimum salary benefit" that was written into the most recent collective bargaining agreement (CBA) as a way to help make veterans more affordable to teams. It uses a formula to reduce the cap hit of a player's base salary so long as the signing bonus remains under a certain level.

 

Gettlemagic indeed.

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      By shaq · Posted

      Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.

      Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.

      I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
