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.

      Facts it's still crazy that they made him sell over that especially considering what some of the other owners have done.  JR was a rich 80 year old white man from the south I'm not at all surprised about him making some "inappropriate" comments about what a woman is wearing water is wet what a surprise. That's just the way things were done during his time, and he should and did get punished for his actions by paying some hefty fines, but it definitely wasn't something that he should've been forced to sell his team over.  I'll never forget him insulting Peyton Manning during a negotiation, reportedly belittling the quarterback’s knowledge of player safety and asking, “Do I need to help you read a revenue chart, son?

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.
