According to 247 Sports,  interest in Star has been reported by Tony Pauline. 

"If the Carolina Panthers don’t re-sign Star Lotulelei, the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs are potential landing spots, as both teams have shown interest," Pauline reported Saturday.

I can't  find anything more,  but it's early still.

Both 3-4 defenses. If he can play like he did in 15-16 he can be an excellent NT.

Wish him the best.

That was exactly what I thought when I saw the interested parties.  His strength makes him a perfect candidate for a 3-4 NT.  Good luck to Star, But I don't see him getting paid his worth here.

Yep, I think he has more value to a 3-4 team than he does a 4-3. He's a pure space eater. That's what a 3-4 NT does. I try not to look at stats for 4-3 one techniques, but Star just doesn't make enough plays on the football for a 4-3 DT. He had 34 tackles as a rookie. He's had 33 in his last three seasons combined.

Yeah, Star is really great at holding his spot, not so much last season but I digress.

Star is not a penatrator. On the off chance he does he doesn't really have the ability to chase things down. Butler isn't as much of a space eater, but he can make plays in the back field consistently enough to justify starting. Love can take Star's role for much cheaper, and I'd say he's a better pass rusher than Star too.

People are going to be surprised how much we are going to miss star next year.

If you can signed him to a reasonable deal then I’m all for keeping Star. But I’m not sure if we can pay him 4yrs 40 Million. We just have to do the job of trying to replace him as a unit and not depend on one person to eat space.

Hurts me

i was so stoked when we got him. One of my favorite players. 

 

And i know his worth to our defense which is a lot...

 

but considering our depth at that position and our limited $$$ rescources, its a parting we should take

 

plus Butler has a ton of potential to be really, really fuging good

      It was nothing. It was a nice run in an easy schedule that did nothing but lose us DJ Moore and a lot more. We were 2-15 in 2023. Based on your logic, that winning finish should have been a launching point. For as much as you want to say we shouldn’t have taken a risk, you still can’t admit that the plans we tankers laid out were proven correct. There’s no revisionist history. We said we should have traded Burns to the Rams. We said we should have sold off anything not bolted down like Brown and Horn and even Icky because they were in the 5 year plan. There is no disconnect, we tried to keep winning and draft a rookie QB and we lost about 4 1st round picks of value that could have been given to the guys you think might be the right crew.

      You’re assuming Fitt still gets fired at the same time. That’s the problem with all these hypothetical hindsight thoughts. If we had a fire sale so to speak I’m not sure the GM gets fired a year or two later due to a bad roster and bad record. Fitt went into win now mode, made it seem like we were only a QB away “we won’t drafting this high again” trading picks for vets etc and when he couldn’t show results he was fired. I’m sure this was all mentioned in his GM interviews. What’s his plan to turn us around and how quickly can he do it. Also you want last year’s CMC and Burns on our roster? At their price? Moving on from both was the right call, with Burns being the wrong time. If a team does a full roster strip down rebuild it can buy the GM more time as long as everyone is on the same page.
