Alright he isnt a FA this year and everyone wants to talk about Norwell right now.

 

That being said, do we start looking hard at extending him?

 

With news that the Giamts may be planning to throw big time $$ at Norwell and the Colts could be a big bidder as well.  I think its time to move on and just keep some hope that something happens.

 

Williams had a heckuva season last year.  And graded out the #3 RT.  He is begginning to look like a stud.  Problem is this is going to be the last year of his contract. We dont lock him up this offseason and he goes on to have another year like this season in a contract year.  We could be waving bye to him.

We could potentially lose our Center, RT, and LT (unless Matt improves, next year in the opt out year of his contract he is good as gone). This after losing Norwell this year.  Thats one heckuva a turnover in 1 season.  And with other big needs, there is a real possibility we dont go OL early in this draft

Williams graded out third?  That's actually pretty darn impressive.  I can't believe you let a top tackle - left or right - hit free agency if you can avoid it.  We may be waiting until the retirements go through after next year though.  Will free up a good bit of money for us.

We should absolutely have extension talks this offseason. It would take some risk acceptance from both sides. The Panthers would have to be willing to sign him to an extension based off of one year of performance while Williams would have to accept a lower figure than he would certainly demand next season on the open market after another successful season. Given the state of the OT position as a whole in the NFL currently, I'd try to get that dude locked up long-term ASAP. Any quality or even serviceable OT that is under 30 years old who hits the open market right now is gonna get PAID. See: Kalil, Matt.

Eh I kind of argue that we should be shopping him right now to see what we could get, I'm not as high on him as the PFF grades. Feel like he got some generous grading all year long compared to his actual play when he was on an island. 

That being said if the coaching staff and front office (whoever that may be) believe in him as a long term answer at RT then I would obviously be happy with a long-term deal negotiated sooner rather than later.

Frankly what we should do is lock up Daryl AND Norwell and draft a center and plan on Moton being our LT. Our entire line could be set. No idea what we’ll do though. Seems possible we lose Norwell but not a guarantee. Hope we can keep him.

Daryl was solid as a freaking boulder all year, the man deserved the praise and 2nd team all pro he got this year. Yes it has only been 1 year and it would be nice to see if he can sustain it before commiting long term money to him but this past year he absolutely was a great player.

      It's crazy with how much winning was going on when we had a little cool off period that we're still just a couple games out of 6th. Moussa is getting better every week and Coby is getting comfortable. Would be nice to get to 6 but I think this team is a lot more stacked than the last couple play ins. I can't remember the exact rules but if you're 7th seed and win the first game I think you automatically move on and don't have to play the second game?

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      I think it was a thing for sure. Panthers weren’t too many people’s first choice. Or 5th choice.  2022 and 2023… coaches fired mid season. Consecutive years. You want any of that?  He has definitely overseen a rehab of how the Panthers are perceived. Because we are a place that is seen as up and coming. And just the little thing of he accommodated Theilen so graciously, that gets noticed. It all adds up. Dan is doing a lot of things right, probably most things.  Needs a good draft.

      K, I think that is dumb, but you do you. I didn't find anything online that made him out to be a dislikable person. I am certain the Panthers would have cared so much if they lost your fandom if they hired Sean Payton. But bet you would have come crawling back if Sean lead us to a Super Bowl victory or Golden leads UNC to a champion ship. It is easy to say you are gonna leave a team if the hire someone you dislike when the chips are down. But people like you tend to come crawling back once the team finds success.
