So I am wondering if anyone has any experience or insider info on this.

With DW going down with injury, did/does/do the panthers pull the offer? Is it still standing?

and if he comes back and plays well, do we offer the same thing or up the price?

I am just having some couch thoughts about this.

I doubt the original offer is still on the table. Talks probably won’t resume until this offseason

I am curious about this bc OBJ's worth has gone bc of his injury - and he is arguably better than 95% of the receivers in the league. Sources say that the giants dont view him to be worth the Sammy Watkins contract.

 

Does that mean DW isnt worth the 40 mil we offereD?

I never saw anything that proved we have offered him a contract. Last u read on the subject, they were comfortable with him playing out his final year. 

His value depends on whether he opens on the free agent market, because he will be the best RT on the market. Some team will most likely want to try him and left tackle, so he'll get paid Irregardless of his injury. 

If the Panthers try to retain him, they'll make an offer to him before he becomes a free agent.

If he doesn't play this year I don't think he'd get a ton on the open market. 1 good year and then an injury doesn't get a guy paid a lot. He'll be best off doing a 1 year prove it deal which will probably be here. All that changes if he comes back this year.

After doing a lil googling to refresh my memory I don’t think we ever even had an offer on the table as initial talks reportedly had a “monster gap” between his agents and Hurney on his worth. 

His  future value to us will be dictated by how Moton fills in at RT in his absence and if he can bounce back this year and reclaim his starting job.

If Moton plays well this year there is no reason to re-sign Williams. That money would be much better spent finding a good LT, or saving it for Cam's extension 

If Williams' price tag comes way down, or he wants a 1 year prove it deal, I'm all in on keeping him.  (not what he thinks he's worth by the way)

If he's the best available RT on the market, there will be no shortage of bidders. Might be a short contract, but probably not likely.

Giants are smoking crack if they think that.

      I’ve haven’t seen anything that says we have interest in Njoku?

      I think the Njoku interest revealed intent and the type of TE they want.  I really expected more from Sanders.

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Defensive tackle (or end in a 3-4 base) is suddenly a rather significant need.  It seems to be a forbidden topic on the Huddle.  Well I am going to unforbidden it for this thread. When we lost Robinson, it was a salary cap cutting move, saving us about $9m or so, I think.  That suggests that we are going to get cheaper, younger, and maybe, more multi-dimensional.  First, what did we lose in Robinson: (Charlotte Observer)  "Robinson co-led the team in sacks (5.5) in 2024, and he ranked second among Carolina linemen, behind Brown, in sacks (2.5) in 2025. (Derrick) Brown played on 76.4% of the Panthers’ defensive snaps last year, while Robinson played on 62.2% of those reps. No other defensive lineman played more than 38.3%, as free-agent addition, Turk Wharton, dealt with injuries throughout his first season in Carolina. Wharton played in just nine games, producing 36 total tackles and two sacks. He’s guaranteed $14 million this upcoming season. Read more at: https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article314544998.html#storylink=cpy OK, about Turk Wharton.  The Observer claims that he and Bobby Brown III were to rotate into the Robinson DE position, but that is too weird for my head to comprehend.  First, Brown III is a NT by trade and Wharton weighs about 280 lbs and is not stout vs. the run.  Brown III is not going to provide the internal pass pressure; he is basically designed to take on double teams and dig in.  Wharton, on the other hand, had a PFF score in those 9 games of 40 or so.  In fairness, he was playing with injuries, but Damn.  PFF gives me a higher rating at the Golden Corral buffet.  In other words, we need a true DT who can fill the two thirds of snaps that we just released.  We can't count on Turk and Brown III is not the answer.  Cam Jackson?  Same as Brown.  Have your people do what they do best.  Furthermore, Derrick Brown probably should limit his snaps.  Playing more than 3/4 of the snaps is hard on the body.  A tired player in the trenches is more prone to lower-body injuries. We need a player who can give Derrick Brown some relief and play opposite him as well.  Turk can rotate in but he needs to shoot gaps and give Guards and tackles fits--a change of pace.   I have to think we are going to draft DT much sooner than most Huddlers realize.  My favorite, you didn't ask? Probable second-rounder Gracen Halton (No. 59 overall, according to ESPN's March 2026 update). Once considered a Day 3 sleeper, his 2026 NFL draft stock has exploded into Round 2 or 3 due to elite interior pass-rush metrics.  Projected Round: 2 (Early to Mid) Key Traits: Elite explosive, quickness, 12.2%+ pass-rush win rate, and positional versatility to play inside on passing downs. Combine Highlights: Led defensive tackles in the vertical jump (36.5”) and broad jump, per Sports Illustrated. Draft Stock: Rising fast due to consistent 2025 production (7 tackles for loss) and a "freak show" combine performance, according to Stormin in Norman.  Halton is considered a high-motor playmaker and a potential Day 2 standout, notes   I would not be surprised to see DT on day 2.
