Wagner is widely considered the 2nd best ILB after Luke, so if you were wondering what the absolute floor for Luke's deal was... there it is.  We all know he's getting more than $10 million though, and anything in the $10-12 million range would be a bargain for us IMO.

Luke should be the best paid MLB in the game. There really is no question about that and everyone knows it. 

 

Young

as athletically gifted as any player in the league

super smart

seldom injured

High character

I mean, what else is there?

Party animal. *inside source*

lmao how would he do without that secondary? smh

​He'd do fine, if you ask me.  Wagner is a beast.  He's very football smart, and has great instincts.  I can't sell him short just because he plays for Seattle.  He's easily 2nd best, behind Luke.

No non-passrushing LB has received a contract in excess of $10 million dollars a year since Willis did about 5 years ago.  3-4 outside LB's, edge rushers or whatever you want to call them, have received contracts in excess of $10 million but no LB who is not an edge rusher has received that size of a contract since then.  Having said that Wagner might get just over $10 million, idk, and that will be the floor for Luke.  If somehow Luke gets to $12 million a year average of the life of his contract, he will probably be the highest paid MLB for the next 10 years or so.  LB who don't rush the QB don't get paid, that's just how it works.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
