We need to do both. Get a quality stop gap and draft someone to mold behind them. Let's face it, there seem to be no Day 1 starters at LT in the draft. Need a solid vet and develop someone behind him. If we're going to get back to the playoffs, we can't have both Oher and Remmers as starting tackles.

I don't think we'd have to trade for Peters. I think if he fails to renegotiate, the feeling is that he will be released. I may be off on that, but I remember researching available OTs for us, and came across a few Philly papers/blogs that mentioned him being gone this offseason because of his contract. 

I would take a 34 year old Peters as a FA and then draft another OT later in the draft to groom behind him. I do wonder how much worse Riley Reiff would be though.... he's 6 years younger. Would we rather have 2 years of Peters or 4-5 of Reiff?

Wouldn't necessarily be mutually-exclusive moves, and Peters could (and probably does) have a few quality years left. Get the starter, develop the younger guy, add depth, gain draft and FA flexibility.

Depends on his value.  What is is contract worth at the moment?  He has lost a step so just like Whitworth, he would have a value to the Panthers but not sure it would be in a trade.  Probably wait till he is released and hope the Charlotte area would help get a small discount

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I think the player matters a lot(in regards to price specifically). Parsons will likely end up being worth the price because he is unquestionably elite. Burns obviously hasn't been until this year because he isn't a consistently elite pass rusher. He is too easy to shut down with just a single blocker.  Guys like Parsons and Garrett that you have to plan your entire blocking scheme around make everyone on the defense better. Truth be told, that isn't Burns on his current line, it's Dexter Lawrence. But, as you pointed out, situations still matter. Joe Burrow may be a truly elite QB but that doesn't matter a lot when he can't stay healthy or the overall team isn't good. Ask Matt Stafford about that in Detroit.   The Panthers aren't in a position to be liquidating the extremely valuable draft picks we have. Our roster is still a bottom 5 overall NFL roster.

      I don't hate KK. The Canes overpaid and he's enjoying the benefits.  Anyone who assumed he was going to turn into an excellent player based on what the Canes paid him weren't paying attention. Sure, I wish he was much more physical, he's a big guy, and that's really all I was hoping for when he came to Carolina. Danault is better in the FO circle, better defensively and better down the middle, but it's a moot point now.
