Kinda sucks that he's gonna have a career year and get paid and the Panthers won't be able to be the ones writing the check.

 

We have more than enough cap space next year to retain him if we want to. But yeah, i'd much prefer to see us extend him to a reasonable deal this off-season.

Luke, TD, and Cam all need new deals too.

 

The reason that Gman will never spend big in FA is so that he can keep all or most of the young talent that we acquire through the draft. If he is just planning to let all of our top young talent leave through free agency, there would be no reason to shop at the dollar store in free agency

Talks with Davis are going on already. Davis himself recently described them as 'ongoing'.

Expect him to get his deal this offseason.

Ongoing talks are great of course, but mean little as far as the dollar amount will go.

Hopefully we can lock up all of them, but if not, I think it's pretty clear that Norman would be the odd man out.

CJ and Kalil are only going to get cheaper against the cap in the next couple of years as well. In G-Man you should trust.

      In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa"

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
