As much as I have criticized him this past season, I'm glad that he'll be back at a lower cap number. Hopefully we can get him and other vets like TD a ring this season.

Agree. I wasn't even sure I wanted him back but now that he is I'm happy about it.

Pre-release, his cap was going to be what like 15 mil?  Factor in the 4 mil dead $ from that contract and a 1-yr 4-6 mil type deal and it's a win-win all around.  We basically save up to 8 million by releasing a guy and then getting him back because the team, locker room, and org is awesome.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Panthers will re-sign free agent DE Charles Johnson.

Johnson flirted with the Bucs and Giants over the last few days, visiting both clubs likely in an effort to drive up the Panthers' contract offer. One of the best players in Panthers history, 29-year-old Johnson will stay with the team that selected him 83rd overall in the 2007 draft. Although Johnson managed one sack during an injury-plagued 2015 regular season, he showed he still has gas in the tank with a dominant postseason. Besides perhaps Kony Ealy, Johnson arguably had the best performance by a Carolina defender in Super Bowl 50. He piled up nine tackles, three sacks, and two forced fumbles in the Panthers' three playoff games.

Wow, I didn't realize how good of a postseason he had.

Other things happening in all those games (KK, Luke vs Seattle, offensive dominance vs. Arizona, Ealy vs. Denver) made him kind of under the radar but he was pretty damn dominant in the playoffs. I of course remembered his forced fumble (maybe even both) in the Super Bowl and he had some nice pressure but forgot how good he was in the other two games. Hopefully he can build off of that this year since he was piss poor since coming back in the regular season last year.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
