Trade or wait for cuts?

What would you do if you were Hurney? Time is running out. I don't feel like we are going to make a trade once the season starts and teams have their rosters set. Right now they might make a trade because they can get something out of it and live with a guy that they might otherwise be forced to cut.

My big issue with it is that I don't think that we are going to get anyone even remotely close to Kemo's ability to stop the run if we wait for cuts. The guys that get cut IMO are not going to be starting caliber NTs.

Lots of 295-310LB DT's being released today...

I know but are they going to be good enough to get our run defense back to where it was with Kemo?

We also have to consider that Kemo was injured for the end of last season too. He is a huge person and maybe his body isn't going to be what it once was after this injury.

Wellllllll, since we have gotten into the habit of trading draft picks, and we have literally no cap room, I think that we will have to pick up a cast off.

The problem is, some of the better ones will choose to go somewhere where they can make some money, sadly, we don't have any.

what if they were given a back end loaded contract?

Wouldn't it be silly to agree to one of these since most likely one would not see the heavy pay year(s) due to getting cut or replaced?

I'm not very knowledgeable on how the contract stuff works so just curious.

No decent DT is going to agree to one, as they may only be a stop gap until Kemo is back next season.

We need a good DT, not just a big body. Everyone saw what happens when we don't have a 2 gap player in the lineup, last season.

We are in a bind big time.

It goes back to drafting.

i was thinking like a 2, maybe 3, year contract. player makes a minimum now. if he does well and we ask him to return he gets an increase, and then the same for a possible 3rd year.

edit: i'm talking about those that get cut. not ones for trade

Makes more sense that way, but I would think we'd be hard pressed to find someone of quality with a condition like that. No?

I think we are going to wait. I would love to bring in Williams but I think we will wait. I honestly don't think a defensive tackle is going to solve much. It may help a little in the run game but whoever it is probably will get pulled off the field in passing situations (unles we trade for Williams). This defense is just lost right now and they need to find some identity. The Broncos were fired up and jumping around last night and I haven't seen our defense do that at all this preseason, except on the Brayton sack which was the best play from the defense all preseason.

I hear ya, and that would be great, but not gonna happen.

You can certainly get a scrub to agree to that, but not a decent talent. And we need more than just a decent talent to keep OL off of our SUPER expensive LB corps.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They are 1 and 9 against the  Bucs in the past 10 games. the Panthers go as young goes.  QB1 ‘s are suppose to dictate and overcome  and elevate Everything the QB does affects every part of the team and Bryce is uneven. Canales and Bryce have  an uneven relationship too  as for Evero, the only thing that might save him is the injury to Baker’s left shoulder and oline injuries. I don’t even know how he is out there   I really feel their season ended last Sunday Canales’ division record isn’t great   Getting owned by the Saints and Bucs isn’t a good look

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Jacabee · Posted

      Frankly surprised by the amount of people that want to hang Evero. This was a defense that was almost universally considered the bottom of the barrel before this season started. We’ve managed to stat our way to the middle of the pack whatever that means. Those critical of the zone schemes, what do you want? When even JC is getting burnt one on one by Olave you have little choice. There definitely have been moments where the zone blitz stuff has bit us. That said, are the third string linebackers (and nick Scott) covering poo anyway? This unit had only conceded 10 points going into the fourth quarter despite a litany of bullshit penalties on both sides. Them over performing is the biggest reason we are still in playoff contention.
