Oh good.I was worried the Soilai signing meant we had decided to move on from him due to him wanting too much money or something. Even though that is certainly the reason he hasn't re-signed here yet at least we are keeping open a dialogue.

This guy single handedly allowed us to rest Star when he was injured and not rush him back until he was 100%. Although there was a drop-off, I don't think it was anywhere near as much as many of us expected when we heard Star was out for a few weeks. He deserves to come back and be a part of the rotation. His ability to be a wall in our defense allows Short and CJ to do wthat they do best.

Damn, I forgot Love was 29.  Would like to see him back, but a rookie DT to groom (and be an insurance policy) would be nice as well. 

Would like to see Gman take a DE in the first couple rounds then a DT later on as an insurance for Star since there is a chance we may not be able to keep him and KK short on long term deals.

I haven't had time to look, but didn't Soilai have some injury issues?  Could be another reason to continue talks with Love.

Gettleman says Panthers are still talking with free agent DT Kyle Love.

 

David Newton ‏@DNewtonespn 31m31 minutes ago

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

 

Would love to have Love back in the rotation.

A little reserve this time on the announcement Leroy ;)

If we sign Love, that will A) solidify our DT position, B) help narrow the draft field and help with prioritization.  If signed, this will probably signal DG's view of the DTs in the draft.  Either the value will not be there by the time our name is called and DG will not reach or like in the past, DG thinks the value of what we signed is greater than the value of what is in the draft or future potential.

Has only missed 4 games total in the last 6 years, but I believe he went down in the week 16 game against the Panthers and didn't return last year so you might be thinking of that. It was related to something he was dinged up with at the end of last season, but I really don't remember what though I want to say a muscle strain(hammy or quad). I think they then shut him down for week 17 with nothing to play for.

Oh, okay.  I was mistaken then.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
