Let's Talk About Mario Addison

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.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
