Coples to Rams

[dldove77]

I'm a little disappointed. Thought he could have fit here. 

What this says to me, though, is that we never made an offer. Can't imagine he'd turn us down. Seems like we get who we want these days.

Must not fit our standards.  More on the Jeff Fisher spectrum.  Next up!

I trust 'The Godfather' on his player evaluation skills. If he didn't think Coples was worth a contract, then so be it. 

[CarolinaNCSU]

2 year, 6.5 mil with a max of 9.75. 

 

Too rich for Gettleman's blood more than likely

[Khaki Lackey]

Might have played out differently had CJ not returned.

I wanted Coples bad and thought he fit what we needed (pass rushing 4-3 DE with size, young) that fit DG's mold (reclamation project, upside, budget-friendly).  Given his UNC ties, thought Coples would be a good add, but In DG we trust.

Funny how the DE musical chairs continues......

Rams OUT: Chris Long  - Rams IN: Quinton Coples

Patriots OUT: Chandler Jones - Patriots IN: Chris Long

Cardinals IN: Chandler Jones

Between Price, Personality, Position, and Playing Time, I wouldn't rule out Personality as the big reason we didn't sign him. Gettleman wants players who hate losing, and Coples has that rep in the NFL of not trying hard

Obviously many Panther fans are Chapel Hill fans, while many are also not.  I get the vibe the Panthers FO is neutral at best with that school, and certainly don't let that sway their opinion.

Quinn and Coples are very tight

[Captain Morgan]

more opportunity for our young guys.

From the FA thread:

Max of $9.75M is just slightly less than what we gave CJ and Soliai combined to shore up the line ($10M).

[Mr. Scot]

Voth said the Panthers were "lukewarm" on him after his visit.

This.

Damn, the only FA I really wanted.  Still early in the FA, but it's looking more and more likely that we're taking a DE in the first.  Hell, like I mentioned a few weeks back, we may even double dip.  Who knows?
