Panthers interested in Okung

Not just the players it seems. Would be a definite upgrade but for a big commitment at $10-12M/year I'd rather pass. For a tad less or a short deal, then yeah. People forget that he has a long history of injury problems and though he played all 16 last year, they could come back anytime. And he wasn't all that good last year anyways. Sure would be interesting and would give me hope for the offense though.

Troy Renck of Denver 7 reports free agent LT Russell Okung is drawing interest from the Panthers and Giants.
That is in addition to the Broncos, who have not closed the door on bringing Okung back despite declining to pick up his option last month. Both landing spots make a lot of sense. The Panthers have to find a replacement for Michael Oher, whose career may be over due to concussions, and the Giants are likely looking to move 2015 first-rounder Ereck Flowers to the right side. Okung could command $10-12 million per year on his next deal. Mar 8 - 1:04 PM

It's not that much of an overpay considering cap increases and demand of the position.   Also you know, the fact that Cam is getting killed out there.   Ignoring the position for so many years is going to force us to overpay a bit.   If you ever overpay, you do it on your LT.    Get this done.

I would've rather gave Wagner that 9 mil. Personally Ive always believe that Okung was overrated.  

Even if, he's still better than any option we have at LT and we can't have another season of Cam getting violated all game.

    • Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.
    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
