Vernon Butler.  

I'm sure there's a lot of people like who?  This was some dude we drafted last year in the first round and I think we can give Short assurance for a 5 year deal, lock up Star and trade this youngling for a talent at another position.  

We should trade him.

Have you ever heard gettlleman talk about how he wants to build a team? He values a heavy dose of Dline talent and ability to rotate often. Most all of our rotation guys are on the back end of careers, Vernon will be groomed as a backup plan for short at worst. At best he's an affordable option for a few more years as he develops and gives us a deep rotation. 

Remeber all the blown 2nd half leads by the defense over the past 2 years? no matter how well Cam and the offense play, it won't do any good if the defense can't close out games. That starts with solid Dline play for 60 minutes and making teams one dimensional.  That's Ron's formula and that's how gettleman will build the team (hopefully)

I always love when you post. It's not very often. It's like when there is a blood moon. The best part is, it takes me a few days to figure out how your thread title relates to the thread. It's kind of like a game, a mystery if you will.

That would be a bad idea. Spend a first and trade for what? A 5th ish one year later....if that. Not smart.

This. He was hampered by injury for much of last season. What could we really expect to get out of him? Right now, we have a promising young three technique DT on a cheap rookie contract. That's worth a lot more than we could get for Butler in a trade. Plus, Short is only franchise tagged at the moment. He may not be here beyond this coming season. We'd look like horses asses if we lost Short after trading Butler for much less than we spent on him in last year's draft.

      Didn't know where to post this but it is panthers relevant since eventually we'll have a couple wr in Coker and tmac that will get paid. Jaxon Smith-njigba just signed a 4 year $168.6 million contract extension that now makes him the highest paid wr in nfl history. For now

      Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.

      II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.
