Should the Panthers try and extend Funchess before the season?

If Funchess hit the market today he would not garner much interest. It's best for both parties to wait. 

Are you delusional? Did you not see what Washington just gave Paul Richardson? Funch has better stats and is two years younger. I'd be willing to bet his floor is 8 million per in this market. 

I think we are all going to be sick when we see what Baltimore pays Moncrief.

I don't think that's accurate at all. He'd fetch $10M+ per year in this free agency environment. He's more proven than Paul Richardson who just got $40M over 5 years coming off of a 244 yard season. Meanwhile, Funchess is coming off of an 800+ yard season and his best season yet. Richardson's contract would be his absolute floor and he'd likely get considerably more.

Lol huddle logic. This guy got paid so our WR will get paid morez!!!!!111!!

Do you really think Funchess is going to take a 5 million deal? 

Do you really think we would save money right now?

It's almost a guarantee that funchess will get a contract that most won't like next offseason.

Everything is kinda stacked in his favor to get it: increased cap, no other comp on the roster to extend at wr, the numbers declining on the early success rate of rookie wr's, an UGLY franchise tag number if you aren't completely sold on him, and even if we do hit on a rookie wr, that rookie being on his rookie deal wouldn't hold any weight on what you gave funchess now. 

Not sure what it will be but anything between 11-14 million is extremely probable for Devin. And many won't like it but it is what it is, we'll revisit this next offseason. 

Only way this doesn't happen is if you trade for a Bryant/Gordon and pay them first and we all know that last part isn't happening

That is why I said it needs to be a fair deal.  We can't afford to lose him or have him hit the market next season. If a guy like Watkins is getting 16 per now, with a rising cap, that same deal could be close to 20 per next off season.

We would absolutely save money to sign him right now vs. signing him after the season assuming he has another 800+ yard season. Funchess would not be smart to sign right now. He'd be poised to cash in HUGE next year.

We can afford to lose him. He is less of a loss than Norwell and Star. I mean the kid hasn't broken out yet and isn't worth anywhere close to, 10 million.

Funchess was the only pass catcher on this team last year and he didn't break 1000. I'm convinced that Norv will get more out of him but that goes for the rest of the offense as well. We might actually see Funchess with less yards because he will lose targets.

Right now we need him, but if we can develop some other young receivers, then I agree.  I can't see paying him that kind of money. I just struggle to see the benefit of paying these types of WRs the type of money they're getting. I mean, Paul Richardson getting $8M per year? A guy who has failed to eclipse the 300 yard mark in three straight seasons? Holy poo.

Bad teams are flush with cash so it's going to happen because of that. The thing that has changed this year is that teams are fully guaranteeing huge amounts of coin. That's going to hurt in the long run.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
