A chance that Norwell stays?

Voth still sounds uncertain, but...

Reading the Tweet he's responding to, it sounds like the formula might include cutting Ryan Kalil and rolling with Tyler Larsen.

And keep in mind, we're still talking about paying Norwell a boatload of money.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Ryan take one for the team and take a significant pay cut so we have a much better shot of going out on top this year, with keeping Norwell. 

Norwell is the exact prototypical elite NFL player you just don't let walk. No matter how much you already have invested in the other G spot. I hope to god we can see this and keep Norwell. Protect your QB and keep elite (on the field and off) players.

Tag Norwell this year, cut M. Kalil next year, and then use that filthy money to make it rain all over that white buffalo.

Norwell tag would be silly... Will likely be $15M for a season. Top guard money is about $10-12M/year. That's a 25% to 50% increase for the tag for one year. If we keep him it's gotta be a long term deal locking him in here for the long haul.

If we're choosing between Kalil and Norwell that's a super easy decision IMO. I'll take a very good OG on a long-term contract who is only 26 years old over an injury prone center who will be 33 years old by the start of next season who has missed half his games in the past two season and carries a $10M cap hit next year.

Do we want a long-term solution or do we want a one year high priced rental who recent history says will likely miss a significant chunk of the games played?

Absolute no-brainer IMO.

Really hard to pay him when we have TD, Olsen, Kalil, Cam, Luke, and KK making such large figures...unless the cap is jumping way up.

 

And Hurney counted on that one year, and we almost couldn't sign our draft picks.

Kalil, TD  are retiring after this season & if you cut other old vets like: CJ , J-Stew, Adams, Dickson, Jones etc you will free up plenty of CAP space.

Any way we go, we're talking about a lot of money tied up in our guards.

All that really means to me is we're going to be tight on money at center and one of the tackle spots. Which is completely fine with me. Pay D. Williams, Norwell and Turner and go rookie/cheaper FA (or even Larsen?) at C and Moton at LT. We're locked in with M. Kalil for next year, but after that I think he's gone and should be.

Voth has previously shot down any suggestions of tagging Norwell.

If we do indeed keep him, I don't think that's going to be how it happens.

I don't think you can tag a guard. That number is just too high. Not sure why all OL are lumped into one tag figure, but they are. It costs the same to tag an OG as a it does a LT. That tag number was over $14M last season. It'll be higher this season. For reference, Trai Turner carries a $7.7M cap hit next year. We can't have franchise QB money tied up in the OG position next year.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      By strato · Posted

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
