DL depth at both positions really needed to be addressed in free agency, I'm sure everyone would feel more comfortable if we got another DE before the draft as well

Jason Jones could be someone to watch.  He's been a guy who's good and produces but just not someone identifiable as a long term starter.  Johnson, Ealy, & Addison are the only for sures in our rotation and Addison is situational/passing downs.  Cox/Miley/Delaire/Horton are competing and it'd be very nice to get someone to push that group even more.

Interesting. BIG DT wasn't fit w/Quinn's system in ATL. RT @Rand_Getlin: I'm told defensive tackle Paul Soliai is visiting the #Panthers.

 

how much will he want?

 

Good question.  He will get about $4m from the birds over the next 2 years, I am guessing he will be offered a 2-year, $5m deal. It will be interesting to see.  This is Star depth (so if we sign him, Love looks to be gone).  In addition, it may be a hint that we draft a 3 tech DT.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • He had heart surgery a while back he looks Fraile I hope he is okay
