Exactly, simply no chance Weddle inks a deal anywhere in the neighborhood of Vernon.

 

Who the hell ever said his deal would be in the neighborhood of Vernon's?

We'll see what he gets paid in the coming days, and who by. I bet he gets more than Gipson per year on a shorter deal by another team. If it's us and lower I'll be happy as hell to admit I was wrong. I understand this situation as well as anybody and can look at it objectively without thinking that because we went to the Super Bowl and CJ took a pay cut then we'll sign Weddle for peanuts. And until I see DG sign an outside top-tier free agent then I won't expect it to happen. He's signed many top-tier players. All Panthers though.

I'm just not of the opinion a 31 year old safety is a top tier free agent. He would be a nice get at a reasonable contract.

Weddle would be a nice signing but it wouldn't be like say the Texans signed Cam Newton away from us. Gipson and Osweiler probably won't perform to their contracts, at the right price, Weddle will.

Some agents are better at it than others, and his agent just got Olivier fuging Vernon paid more than JJ Watt. Point is that his agent is the best in the business.

The agent is honestly irrelevant.

Well this thread sure has come full circle

What's the fascination with Eric Weddle?  Just because that half retard Joe Person said we were interested?

You should know by now that Joe Person doesn't know jack poo.

He's one of the better safeties in the league and he has a history playing in Rivera's system.

Pretty easy connection.

I'm kinda over it with Weddle. He's a good player but he muddies up the Safety group. If we sign a safety it needs to be a SS to compete with Boston or needs to be a FS back up for Coleman. Weddle is neither and just takes away from an established guy. We just don't really need him and while he might be an upgrade for Coleman it just isn't worth the trouble to me and goes against what we're trying to be about. I hope we draft one.

The point of my thread was that Weddle won't be a Panther because of what he'll get paid. I've believed this since the Weddle discussions first started. What prompted me to make the thread was seeing that his agent is also Vernon's agent. I believe the agent is a factor. You made it it known that you don't think he is, so instead of continuing an argument that was going nowhere I dropped it and stated other reasons.

He's the best safety available and one of the best in the league. If that's not top-tier then I don't know what is.

      Honestly, I have only one pair of white shoes (only because they were new and like $4 from the Goodwill) other than my easily-cleaned Crocs. A man's got to think ahead.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By shaq · Posted

      Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.
