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

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
