I would like to see a long term deal, but I am not paying 18mil a year. 

Gman better not be stupid enough to pull a Josh Norman 2.0. There's a team out there that would be willing to give up a 2nd round for him. 

That said team would also have to be willing to pay his asking price of around 18 mil a year so...

if it's clear that the panthers aren't going to reach a long term deal with him and it's also apparent that we're going to let him walk after his tagged year is over then what incentive is there to throw picks at us.

some team might be willing to do that but they're also not going to ship off a draft pick for a possible one year rental.  there would have to basically be an extension in place on the team where he'd be landing which also means that KK would have to want to go there.  it's more complicated than tag player => ship to browns or jaguars or other cellar dweller => collect picks.

You lost him at "complicated".

There were about 5 teams including the Redskins that were willing to pay Norman asking price. 

According to Norman yes.  Notice how he signed with the first one to throw money at him, the Washington Racists.  A team notorious for throwing money at overpriced FA's.  I'm not buying it.

I bet we don't.  If they do then I'll be on the fire Dave band wagon because that's Hurney level dumbassery.

So then he leaves? I don't see a team doing a tag and trade. If you do, doesn't the other team have to give up a first?

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      No you dont.  He had all those records for years before his final season. Whether career or season he had them all years before his final season in which he played 6 games.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By csx · Posted

      Williams covered for Moore by saying they were on the wrong page about Moores specific route. Williams could have easily covered for him by saying he messed up. Suggesting only 1 route was ever intended to be a viable target is absurd.

      Edge Rushers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I am going to agree with Linville this time--I think we need to get a veteran edge (We have Jones II, Scourton, and Princely--2 developmental guys and a decent veteran).  We don't really think of Jones because he had a hamstring injury weeks 3 and 4 and a back that required surgery Week 6-17.  He still managed 10 pressures, and he will be 28.  Princely Umanmielen only played in approximately 18-20% of the snaps and he struggled at times.  Basically, he was a situational pass rusher.  He got 1.5 sacks and 10 pressures.  He should improve, but for now, he is what he is.  Scourton gives us hope.  For a rookie (and thanks to Jones II's injuries, he was given more PT), he had 8 sacks--and held the edge.  He played at a first-round draft pick level.  He has the potential to become "that guy" in 2026. We lose Wonnum, who played nearly 700 snaps and amassed 3 whole sacks.  For a person raised a Gamecock, I would not be upset if we purged our roster of all South Carolina alumni.   However, I see it this way:  Wonnum was decent holding the edge, something Patrick Jones II and Scourton have demonstrated at a high level.  He is a liability, if you ask me.    Jones had 7 sacks one season in Minnesota and is known for his inside rushing ability--not what you would call a speed rusher.  I think Princely was a bit disappointing, but he was a bit raw.  Out of college, they described him as being a bit predictable.  I see no reason he will not improve in 2026 and become a situational pass rusher.   Basically, with Scourton and Princely expected to continue to develop and Jones II returning from injury, I think we need another veteran (if we can get a good one) to give us balance and depth.  A third developmental player is not ideal.   Draft:  OT, LB, WR, OL depth, S. Free Agency:  Edge, possibly a WR;  re-sign Mays, Cuhran, BC (??), and Nijman.  Let walk:  Wonnum, Scott, Dowdle.  I see about $20m per year after signing the OL depth.  Spend it on a veteran edge.   Players like Reddick (Tampa), Bosa (Buffalo), Khalil Mack (LAC) could be available on a one or two year deal in the $15m range.  We could splurge here, but I think a veteran situational pass rusher (depending on Jones II's back) is all we need while our 2 young guns develop.
