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

      Bills predictions

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      I really have no clue what to expect sunday.  To quote one of my favorite bands of all time, Operation Ivy "All I know is that I dont know".  We could win, hell we could win convincingly, we also could lose in blowout fashion.  We could be in a back and forth game with whoever has the ball last winning.  I legit HAVE NO CLUE.  This isnt the dominant bills teams of the past, Allen is still elite and can win any game by himself.  That said, heres my stab at looking at things. Our defense is made to stop this kind of team.  Strong against the run, a great corner but meh talent around the field.  We've stopped prolific run offenses this season.   Javonte Williams - Season low yards and ypa against us. De'Von Achane - Season low yards and ypa against us Breece hall - 3rd worst yards in a game Fact of the matter is, we arent what we were last year, we are a good run defense and that lines up well against the bills, Stop the run.  For once the lack of moving Jaycee might be a good thing, he will essentially lock down a side and without multiple real weapons thats fine.  Buffalo does not have an elite guy, theyve got a gaggle of average dudes.  Allen will stay away from Jaycee, it will be on Mike Jack and Chau Smith Wade do to their part and they will be matched with guys they can play at the level of. On offense, we do what the bills are bad at.  We run the ball well, and they suck at stopping the run.  Rico and Chuba will need 30 carries.  Andy Dalton will need to be opportunistic.  My big fear is what we learned last year, Dalton can get overconfident and make bonehead throws.  Its this simple.  Run the ball, stop the run.  Dont turn the ball over.  If we do these 3 things, we will be in a position to win in the 4th quarter.

      This makes me wish we took a flyer on Quinn Ewers late in the draft

      He has been a good player and clean player over the years. I don’t follow that close but think he was closing in on setting his resume for his place in the all time rankings. I am sympathetic to him becaus this will hurt him there.
