  • Gettlemen has NY Giants ties.  JPP is a Giant.  The Panthers could cut CJ, get a veteran to start opposite Ealy who will be 27 for most of the season. 
  • JPP wants to be paid in the $10m per range, in a long-term deal.
  • This is a perfect situation for the Panthers to step in--first, we have the need and the cap room--we would save $1-2m (or more)  per season by cutting CJ and we would get 3 years younger.  JPP is more of a fit opposite Ealy; Ealy and CJ are both best suited at LDE.
  • I think JPP would take a slightly lower offer from the Panthers because there is the chance to win a ring and he would be joining a great defense.  Could we get him for $36m for 4 years?  Maybe.
  • Of course, there is some risk, but this could be worked out in guaranteed/unguaranteed money. 
  • The draft is nicely stocked at DE, but note that most fit the profile of the 4-3 LDE--not many RDE types.  JPP would be, and with Addison, could give us a fierce presence on that side.  I realize we hope Miley steps up, another RDE prospect, but we should draft a LDE depth player to develop and play behind Ealy.
  • I think Gettlemen should be interested in these progressions. 

Sorry if this is speculative, but it is better than some of the off season threads popping up on here.  I do not know much about the hand, but the player has potential.

What finger could he put a ring on? Do not want. He could cough on the opposing QB once he got there but that's about it. He can not wrap up.

That was a good one.  I am not sure what condition his hand is in--his "wrap" was due to recent surgery etc that was healing, and (the way I understand it) not a permanent thing.  Once he gets used to the hand, he may be more effective than we thought--but I admitted that I was not sure about the hand.

The issue is about the guaranteed money.  If it turns out he can play and he returns to form....

You have to realize--pass rushers in free agency have a catch--age, injuries, etc.  So if anyone is expecting an elite pass rusher in free agency--it rarely happens.  Protect yourself with the contract. 

I am sure Gettlemen is being told all the dirt on the situation--

I'd take him for $9-10/year for sure. He definitely had issues tackling after coming back but he had no trouble creating pressure and he got another surgery recently so he supposedly doesn't have to wear the club next year so that could improve his tackling.

People are too caught up in the hand injury that JPP suffered and not focusing enough on his 41 QB pressures and 6 batted passes in half a season of play. Obviously the sack numbers weren't there but when you make the QB move his feet, good things usually happen.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
