Not with the Panthers...but I'm not averse to paying him. Just have no idea how much that contract might be worth.

McCoy and Suh got 100 mill and they're considered the best DTs who can rush the passer. KK just had a 12 sack season. That is cray cray. And he can line up as a DE. I really don't know what numbers we're looking at though. Hope he stays with us long term, obviously.

He was drafted in '13 with Star right?  What's the current status of their contracts?

Next year is his last year. Star gets the 5th year option. At least that's my understanding. Could be wrong. And I know Suh and company got 100 Mil contracts but I don't think the Panthers will pay that much. At least I hope not.

That's what I was thinking, we have the 5th year option on Star since he was 1st round, but KK was 3rd round.

 

I mean you can make a case that KK is the best DT in the league... that's big money.

 

I think Zod is right in that we tag Norman... I think we sign KK and exercise year 5 on Star and cut CJ, esp if we draft a DE this year.

I figured.

That said, our pass rush has fallen off too. G-Man is gonna have to rebuild around Star and Short ASAP then.

If Gettleman can snag 1 maybe 2 adequate pass rushers in this draft, every Panthers CB is going to look like a pro bowler.

Damn, this team keeps cranking out homegrown superstars....we are not going to be able to afford all the studs that we have produced lately.  Kinda hard to pay the best young QB, the best MLB in football, the best CB, possibly the best DT, and another one not too far down the list.  

Thats not even mentioning KB or anyone else I forgot.....poo is cray cray.  I guess its a good problem to have, but it is going to really really blow to see some of these guys who were developed and molded into superstars here, leave because we cannot afford them all.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
