Let's Talk About Mario Addison


Montsta

Recommended Posts

What are everyone's thoughts on him? He didn't start a game until the end of the year, but still led the team with 9.5 sacks. He will be 30 to start next season, but his last contract was 2 years, roughly $2.5MM two years ago. He isn't going to get a huge contract, but likely will be looking for enough years and money to retire with, maybe 3 years/$20MM? Maybe way more? NFL contracts for guys like him are hard to guess on. 

What would you guys feel is fair, and what would be a deal you were comfortable with for a guy that had a stellar year but was basically a situational pass rusher?

He may get somewhere around the $4-7mil a year, possibly more. I'm sure the Panthers will do anything feasible to keep him here. He's an important piece of this defense.

His snap count has also increased significantly - so Panthers are looking at him right now as more than just a pass specialist.

I'd assume they'll make sure he stays.

I absolutely love what we were seeing from Addison to close out the year.  It is like something finally clicked.  Rivera also spoke very highly of him.  Hopefully he signs for a 3/4 year deal worth about 4/5 mil per season.  I think he has earned it.

I'd be good with that. I hope there isn't some team that jacks the price up to like $7MM+

Emergence of Mario Addison also makes need of a DE less likely with Ealy on the opposite side we just need a VET like JPP to pair with CJ

I feel the same way about him as I did Ealy last offseason.  JAG.

If he will play for JAG money, give him JAG money.  If he wants money for being more than that, say buh-bye.  This is of course under the assumption a GM would then go replace the JAG with an equally talented JAG and not look on his practice squad and continue downgrading.

So apparently all but 15 or so DE/OLBs in the entire league are JAGs in your eyes?

so because I think Addison is a JAG that somehow means there are only 15 legit pass rushers in the NFL above JAG status?  How do you make that leap.

Addison/Ealy are the James Anderon's of DEs.

So what tier is Addison suddenly?  What is Ealy?

There were only 16 players in the league with more sacks than Addison, and I'm assuming most if not all played more snaps than Addison. So I'm not sure what that makes all the guys behind him in sack totals if not JAGs. You seem to think guys that can flirt with double digit sacks as a part time player just grow on trees apparently.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
