Why The Hell Do We Keep Talking About "TE"?

Let's get another TE for Cam to throw to while his ass is eating dirt and grass. Yea don't see that happening.

Whatever man.  I literally just said it doesn't negate the other stuff.  In case you ignored that part, that would mean we would still need to improve that area, among others.

He hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. 

We have more issues than TE. 

But, he's on the wrong side of 30. Can't change that.

I wouldn't even begin to argue that TE is our biggest need, but depending on how the draft board falls I wouldn't be at all opposed to taking one. You're not going to improve your team at all by reaching on guys based purely on need. Your need isn't going to make that marginal prospect a better player.

Greg just went for his third straight 1000k season. 

Before last weekend, Trai Turner was playing RT for us.

There's no TE even worth taking in the top 25. OJ Howard is the best in this class and his a projected late 1st. 

I really don't want to see Trai Turner playing Tackle again.

Gettleman is likely going to do what he always does, and take the BPA. Now what you must ask yourself is is there an OT worth drafting over a top-end TE. Moreover, I think that it is philosophically better to acquire a veteran OT in FA, as they will be decidedly better situated to make an impact than a rookie.

You clearly aren't paying any attention to what I'm saying so knock yourself out.

      NFL Free Agency

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Absolutely. He just turned 27 a few days ago, so quite young. He and Moehrig would be quite the pairing.  I know we say this every year, but this FA period has A LOT of talent that will be switching uniforms. We were aggressive last year and have no doubt this time next week will have some studs on defense.

      DJ Moore traded again

      By Dingo_ate_Babies · Posted

      DJ Moore has always been a bit of an enigma. He came here young, flashed a ton of potential, but never truly grew into a real #1. He’s had a few good reasons, but yet to have a real monster season (outside of his first year with Chicago) We’re still waiting for him to blossom, but he will be 29 next season. I fear that it is too late for him at this point.

      I have considered free agency.  LT?  Either not good enough or too expensive.  Besides, this is a good OT draft.  (I would rather have a free agent, mind you, but the Panthers' reality suggests we can't do it without neglecting other positions).  What LTs are available in free agency, and what do you expect to pay?  Any Ickey-level OT is going to cost over $20m.   How much do we already have invested in our OL?  I get your point, but I do not think you can spend over $100m per on your OL. We have 2 guards and a right T who pull in about $75m per season.  We don't have a center yet.  Teams just don't let good LTs hit free agency, and when one does on rare occasion, he is expensive.  If you want a third of the Panther cap going to 5 Offensive Linemen, free agency is the way to go.  We still need S, ILB, Edge, WR, etc. I think we'd need more than Nijman--and I would understand if we went free agent for a T--but that is putting a TON of your cap at OL--so considering our situation, I do not see that option as preferable.  You may disagree. If I was not talking LT on our line and thinking about the cap, I would agree 100%.
