Kind of thought this was a possibility. Not really surprised but did think some team was going to give him enough money to get him. Curious what DG wanted him to take vs. what other teams offered, if it's about the same or if he decided to take less to stay here. Said when we released him that just because of that didn't mean CJ wouldn't come back. Getting released and checking the market is better than being forced into taking a pay cut. This is a pretty big move since we did need a veteran DE with him gone. Hope he can get fully healthy and return to form as he was not that great this past season. Still need help at the position for sure.

I like it. Word is he is one of the team leaders that everyone in the locker room respects. He's not the same player he was a few years ago, and he never will be, but he did start to play better towards the end of the season and who are we kidding we need experience and depth on the DL. Didn't feel good about Addison or draft pick starting with Kony.

    • Aho…come out and prove me wrong boy. 
    • I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
    • I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
