I think Crowell might get a featured back opportunity somewhere. When you can put up pretty good numbers with the Browns given their atrocious QB situation, you deserve a real shot somewhere. I doubt he'd want to come to Carolina and play second fiddle to CMC.

Yeah, i think hes earn being a featured back in the league.  I think Crowell and CMC would be a great young one two punch.  A little "thunder" and a little "lightning."  I like Crowell's bullish running style. Fits this scheme.

I hate these threads year after year. We won't have to bargain basement FA if we let Norwell and Star walk, which is going to happen. Franchise a Kicker doesn't help. Either way, I didn't realize Crowell was a FA and would be a stellar addition. He had a good year in Cleveland if that's a thing and has been the one positive thing about their offense. Like him better than Duke. Cleveland would be wise to hold on to him though.

Hate the threads but its reality.  We haven't had a history of making splash in FA even letting our best players leave and freeing up money...

 

ill wait.

Armando Salguero reporting the Dolphins are likely to cut Lawrence Timmons and Julius Thomas (incoming Sanjay in 3...2...)

Mentioned Ja'Wuan James as a possible cut too but that doesn't sound likely.

Thomas is a JAG. He looked like he might become something that one year in Denver, but nope. I think he's a little better than Dickson so I'd be interested in a short term, low money deal.

Timmons... we don't have a ton of cap and LB is probably our strongest position group. Pass.

Peyton Manning made Julius Thomas a lot of money.

Define "fair".

Yep, he was out of football all last year because he priced himself out of the market. Evidently there was quite a gap between what he thought he was worth and what 32 NFL teams independently thought he was worth. At this point, a year removed from football and 33 years old early next season, I'm thinking "fair" will likely be in the veteran minimum range.

The fact that he's talking about a "fair" offer after that doesn't inspire me to think he's quite caught on to reality just yet.

Yeah, we'll have to see. Being out of work for a year may have been a big wake up call for him. Or, he may have a number in mind and be willing to stay away from the game if he can't get it. I can respect that. He hasn't made huge money by NFL standards in his career, but he's still made almost $10M in career earnings. As long as he hasn't been stupid with his money he should be set for life.

This...

Gary Barnidge hopes to get a job offer more to his liking this year

...doesn't sound encouraging.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO

      The season is over, and we're going to get clowned on by Mayfield and Darnold before it's over.

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
