Not really. 

 

If the Panthers had won the SB and we lost Norman, CJ and the rest, I would still feel good. 

Count me as one that would rather have the shot at multiple rings than just one.  I wouldn't say that if we had any mid-tier jabroni at QB, but we have the greatest 26 year old in the history of team sports and the greatest MLB of a generation signed through the next presidential election cycle, so I'm saying it.

If you are a Broncos fan I'd think you'd be freaking out. Your team is being dismantled!!

Peyton retires, Osweiler heads to Houston, Trevathan to Chicago, and Jackson to Jacksonville. That's a hell of a hit to their team and that's without considering Ronnie Hillman (RB), CJ Anderson (RB), Brandon Marshall (ILB), Evan Mathis (OG), Ryan Harris (OT), and Vernon Davis (TE) are all free agents and they've got more to add to that list. 

I can't think of a recent Super Bowl winner that has been hit this hard immediately after winning the big game. Occasionally winners lose a player or two, but they're losing a number of key starters and replacing them and rebuilding on the fly is going to be difficult.

Shame...

Be realistic here. 

 

If you can win one, appreciate it. If you could just make it, be extremely proud. 

 

Patroits are the last to win multiple. Why? Cheaters 

No doubt.  But Cam is truly extra special.  He says no one has higher expectations than himself, and I anticipate multiple titles.

I'm told TE Marcedes Lewis earned a three-year deal worth $12M from the #Jaguars. Fantastic outcome for him and the team.

$36 million for Fleener or $8 million for Watson who signed for the Ravens. I know which TE I'd rather have signed in their position...

Fleener is hugely overrated and the Saints overpaid for him. 

I'm happy :)

It's unbelievable that they paid that much. Watson was better last year than Fleener ever will be. So glad to see that signing. Honestly Fleener shouldn't even be starting in this league.

Tbh Watson is 35 he had a career year last season and fleener hasn't produced but he is much younger and has potential...

He's 35 but still a better all round TE than Fleener. Watson can do everything you want from a TE. He's not going to play for the next five years like Fleener could, but considering the Saints are in cap hell they could have signed Watson and drafted a TE to develop. 

Fleener is a fair TE and with Brees he should end up being productive. But it's a lot of money to throw at a TE when they haven't got a ton of cash to throw around and a number of gaping holes at other positions on the roster to fill.

    • The guy has not coach college in ten years and in that span its greatly changed. Still take him over Davis, I want to see the presser and if billy still has fire in his eyes for college non-sense.....plus you know billy will want a multi-million staff.  This is interesting, very....... glad the old guard FINALLY steps aside......
    • Truth. Like when UNC hired Butch Davis and then we get hit for recruiting violations. Like yeah, no poo. Dude coached Miami when they we paying like the 33rd NFL team. What did you expect?
    • He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
