Oher: To Extend His Contract or Not?

I've been impressed by Oher and his play. I wonder if the FO has any plans on extending his contract past this upcoming season.

Im all for signing this guy for another 3-4 years and doubt we could find a better LT in FA or in the draft.

This is a weak OT class, imo and it is a steep learning curve for rookie tackles regardless of how good they were in college.

I wouldn't be surprised if contract talks with Oher are or will be in the works.

What are you guy's thoughts?

I'd like to to see how he does for at least the first half of this season. But if we had to make a decision, I'd say extend him

Historically, Getts shuts down contract talk when the sarson starts, unless he needs to sign a FA.

I feel that we need Oher at least 4-more years and that we need to draft his replacement adapt.

Wasn't he pretty good @Pass protection but shitty at run blocking?    Or am I mixing it up and it's vice versa?

You got it right. Any time we ran to his side of the field, Kalil was pulling. 

The good thing about that is he still hasn't reached his ceiling and there's still room for him to improve.

At the right price, yes we should.  I think he was a relative bargain for what DG got him for, if Matsko thinks he still has room for more improvement, lets lock him up so he doesnt have more leverage with improved play after this year when his current deal is up. If nothing else he is very good depth at the back end of a longer contract (3-4 yrs) if we draft a LT in the next year or two.  No matter what you say about the guy, he was an exponential improvement over Bell.

Matsko is no longer the OL coach. It's Ray Brown now.

While true, Matsko was promoted to something like Run Game Coordinator or something like that, so it's not like he won't be involved with the o-line.  And since Oher was lacking in the run game blocking, this move may actually benefit him more.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
