He is clearly the second best linebacker on the team and leads the defense in toughness and fire. He continues to play at a high level. We should sign him for what the going rate is for a linebacker with his ability. Until we have someone better he is the best option at Sam right now.

id pay TD $4m...I would pay shaq less that that

issue is...who plays at these positions if we bail on them?

You will have to draft some and jag it up a year as well. Nothing really matters though until we fix both lines.

The way a lot of folks are framing this says a lot.

Yes, he is a Panthers legend. Yes, he's been one of the team's best players in the past. Yes, he's one of the good guys.

None of that actually matters.

You sign and pay a guy based on one single factor alone:

Can he help us win games in the future?

The reality is that Davis will be 36 years old before next season starts and yes, he's lost a step (or two). Given that he plays a position where speed and range are extremely important, if you're throwing a 36 year old guy out there you have to believe he's not going to decline even further to the point where he's a liability.

The problem even with that? Davis already looked like a liability several times this season. So how are you expecting him to look after yet another year?

In all likelihood, the team is bracing to leave the "family" approach of the past in the past. Under David Tepper, they're expected to be more like the Steelers. That means parting ways with guys before they hit the wall rather than after.

It might suck to see favorite players like Davis leave without happy endings, but that's football.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
