A TE a competent GM might target in FA this offseason

Trey Burton.

The dude is a prime candidate to be a TE 2 with potential to be TE 1 if Olsen retires or gets injured. 

Plus he threw a TD in the super bowl, so he has that going for him too.

@Ace_Aladdin, please change your pants before you respond in this thread.

6’-3” 235 lbs?  I think he is more of a FB/WR than a true TE.

Idk how the FA is gonna go but CAP wise it would be better to address it via draft and get a TE like “Gronk” who can block and catch 

*Inline blocking.

 

I think it’s more important to extend Norwell & Star before dipping into FA.

you realise if we do this we will be in cap hell? we have multiple needs on this team. if we resign both we can go after nobody in FA. well, we can sign more 33 year olds.

Not really, Panthers are phasing out old veteran core contracts this season & 19': Kalil - Jstew-Davis-Dickson-Adams-CJ-Gano-Jones-Fozzy-etc.etc This will open up cap space in the upcoming years to take on the roles of the next core players.

Although Norwell & Star are top tier at their position the cost of OGs & NTs is still far less than LT's & 3-tecq DTs. 

CAP is going up 5-10 % , The extra $11 million could be used toward the guarantee portion of the contract.

The salary cap next season for the National Football League is expected to be the range of $174 million to $178 million, reports NFL.com's Ian Rapoport.

Teams were told of the increase before the league's meetings in Dallas. The official salary cap number won't be known until the start of the league year in March.

This year's salary cap was set at $167 million, which was the fourth straight season the cap saw an increase.

The San Francisco 49ers, Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts and New York Jets are projected to have the most to spend on free agents next season.

Among the players expected to hit the free agent market are Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Garoppolo, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford and Seattle Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham.

Over the cap (I think) has his market value as $7M. He’s not worth that and they were pretty close on Short so I think he’ll get close to that. Signing him over Dickson costs us Norwell. No thanks. How’s he going to look with worse WRs and OL blocking?

Ah, never mind then.

    • Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"
    • Yeah your right the owner was copping hand shandies while all this was going down 
    • I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
