Other soundbites today from Gettleman concern Kyle Love and the strength of the draft:

The Panthers continue to talk to veteran defensive tackle Kyle Love about bringing him back.

 

DT Kyle Love remains an option for Panthers. There have been talks. Gettleman reiterated the strength of this draft at OL and DL.

[oops... sorry, there's now a dedicated thread for the Kyle Love news.  There wasn't when I was posting this here.]

Here's more on Star's 5th year option via PFT.  It confirms what @Bartin just posted about different salary scales for players drafted in the top 10 vs. 11 - 32.

General Manager Dave Gettleman said Tuesday at the league meetings that the Panthers will exercise the option on defensive tackle Star Lotulelei. Lotulelei was the 14th pick of the 2013 draft.

Players picked after the 10th pick, the salary for the option year is the average of the third through twenty-fifth highest salaries at the position. Players in the top 10 have their salary set at the average of the 10 highest paid players at the position.

Picking up the option was likely an easy call for the Panthers, who have built a strong defense around Lotulelei, defensive tackle Kawann Short, linebacker Luke Kuechly, linebacker Thomas Davis and cornerback Josh Norman in the last few seasons. Short is set for free agency after the 2016 season as is Norman after he received a franchise tag from the team earlier this month.

That's interesting. Short's long-term deal will impact how much Star makes in 2017. Wonder if DG will get creative with the first year of KK's deal just to help himself a little bit on what we pay Star that season.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
