Since I can't speak for Curtis, I can't shed much light on what that was about. 

What I can tell you is in the short-term, the room will be led by assistants Jeff Imamura and Richard Rogers. From there, Ron Rivera has some options. He could let both continue sharing responsibilities or promote one into the lead role.

Or Rivera could look outside the building. 

Perhaps he'll consider calling Hall of Famer Rod Woodson, who helped coach the Raiders secondary the past three seasons. Or maybe Rivera could talk defensive-minded former head coaches Chuck Pagano or Steve Spagnuolo into coming to Carolina. They may not be up for taking a job like defensive backs coach, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Other available options include Ray Horton, Dennis Thurman and Chris Harris.

Pagano and Spagnuolo are the only ones I know of with any actual Rivera connection.  Rivera and Spagnuolo were colleagues when Rivera was with the Eagles. Rivera and Pagano haven't worked together directly that I know of, but Rivera and Pagano's brother John were on staff together in San Diego.

I'd definitely prefer one of the outside options, and there are some darn good choices available.

my heart says richard rodgers has paid his due and should be given a shot but my mind really wants Chuck Pagano. 

Richard Rogers is a moron and the only reason he's here is due to Ron.   No thanks.  I'll cast my vote for an outside candidate thank you.

I'd normally expect Rivera to simply promote from within, but since Voth gave credence to outside options, I'm paying more attention.

It's possible Rivera might not want to promote either Rodgers or Imamura over the other, so an outside candidate could be the best option.

Pretty sure I remember reading that Pagano was going to take a year off, but even if so that could change.

Well he took off all of last year from coaching right? He acted as a consultant instead.

Pagano was fired this past December.

The Colts went through the whole harangue with Josh McDaniels after that before finally hiring Frank Reich instead.

You might be thinking of somebody else.

Truth be told, I think I just forgot he was coaching because the Colts were so forgettable last year, haha. I at least thought he didn't make it through the season, but hey, here is hoping he has the itch to get back on the field with a fresh group of guys (he also has a previous coach-player tie to Mike Adams, so he would have a veteran to help implement his coaching).

The Colts were never really good again after they lost Bruce Arians.

Pagano reportedly wants to be a head coach again so I guess the question is whether he would settle for something less in the meantime.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
