KK wants 17 million a year?

Per Rotoworld.

 

If this is true...dueces!

 

Panthers would do right by themselves to keep Addison and all the other linemen and draft Dline this year as well. Move in Butler inside.

 

Solomon Thomas would be a key addition as well. 

 

Would a tag and trade scenario work or do those usually don't? I don't remember it ever working out in the draft?

Alright, I've been notorious for not reading whole stories when I post trash on the tinderbox, so I'll fact check this statement:

Quote

"If it happens, it happens," Short added. "I need to be professional about the whole situation." Every player would like to land a long-term deal and avoid the tag, but that might not be possible in this situation. Short is likely looking for a deal near the $17 million per Fletcher Cox landed from the Eagles, and the Panthers were reportedly not willing to go over $15 million annually last summer. Like with Josh Norman last offseason, the Panthers could be headed toward an extended standoff with one of their top defensive players. For what it is worth, Short did say he would sign the franchise tender if it came to that, but a report was quickly leaked to Pro Football Talk walking that comment back. Jan 3 - 10:50 AM

This is old news. KK looked for that price range last season, and really they need somewhere to start.

This is a report assuming that KK is looking for Cox money as well, and does not mention his agent or himself speaking of $17million.

Hold your horses on this one.

IMO it's always been DG's intent to tag him. The sides were too far apart during Rd 1 of negotiations. That sealed KK's fate IMO. I didn't and still don't think he's That level of elite.  The tag buys an awesome talent for another year, gives Butler more time to develop, and provides more data for evaluation. Win-win.

Thanks for clarifying.

    • I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.
    • 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.
