Remmers gets 2nd round tender

The expected and right move.

Even if you hate him after the Super Bowl and never want him to start for us again, he is at worst a mediocre starting OT and would be a great backup swing tackle which is worth $2.5M.

The people who hate him should watch some more game footage of Nate Chandler....bless his heart.

Saying someone is good simply because someone else isn't is incorrect, but I do agree 100% that Remmers is far from the worst RT Carolina has fielded in recent years. I'd even go so far as to say someone can watch any season from 2011-mid-2014 and compare to Remmers to see what he brings to the table... there were more bad performances than good in that timespan.

Glad to see this.  Hope Daryl Williams balls out and becomes our new starting RT, but Remmers has been solid.  Obviously he was lousy in the SB, but so were a lot of our players.  Remmers could become very valuable as a swing backup on the Oline for multiple positions.  This is very good news.  Hopefully no other team will want him with that 2nd round draft pick they'd have to give up.  It may have helped us that everyone's most recent memory is his terrible game.  He had something like 22 or 23 solid games out of 26... so, I'll take that.

I feel like the 2nd round tender isn't just fair compensation for Remmers, it'd also be fair compensation for us if somebody fell in love with him. Even in the event that he loses his starting job to Williams, $2.5M is more than a value for a player with his talent and versatility on the OL.

CHARLOTTE - The Panthers have retained the rights to restricted free agent Mike Remmersicon-article-link.gif , their starting right tackle last season, and have re-signed restricted free agent wide receiver Stephen Hillicon-article-link.gif to a one-year contract.

By tendering a contract to Remmers, Carolina retains the right of first refusal on any contract offers made by other teams to Remmers by the April 22 deadline. The Panthers would receive a draft pick if they chose to not match an offer.

Remmers took over as the Panthers' starting right tackle with five games remaining in the 2014 regular season and has been the starter for all 21 regular season games and all five postseason games since. The Panthers are 22-4 in those games.

An undrafted rookie out of Oregon State in 2012, Remmers joined the Panthers midway through the 2015 season when Carolina signed him off St. Louis' practice squad.

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
