Good. Now just comes (apparently) the hard part. Dave not doing something stupid.

 

KK turns 29 at the very tail end of next season. If he's just a one year rental then so be it. Maybe you'll get a deal done, maybe you won't. Just keep the Pro Bowler on the team for now.

BooM! Now hope the big guy signs that thing in a reasonable time and on to the combine gents!  KEEP POUNDING!

He won't and he would be an idiot to do so. He'd lose pretty much all the leverage he has(which is barely anything to begin with) to get a better a deal.

Worse case scenario, we get one of the top DT's in the league, who's playing like a mad man to earn a big payday, on a 1 year, reasonable rental.

unless Dave finds a way to fug it up!

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
