Very curious to see the details but as long as it's in line with the safety market value set in FA last year I like it. Now we need to find a true FS to play over the top to better let everyone else on the D do what they do.

 

Rapaport says it's worth more than 22 million.. So I guess around 7.5 a year

"In signing Eric Reid Monday to a three-year deal worth more than $22 million, with incentives that could push the total package to $24 million, the Carolina Panthers made a statement about the veteran safety's value to the organization."

 

"Reid, who signed with Carolina last Sept. 28 after a long, futile stretch as a free agent, received $10 million in guaranteed money from the Panthers upon signing Monday's pact, according to a source familiar with the contract, which the team later officially announced."

3 years, 22 mil, 10 gtd?

I will take that any day.

You can't say a signing is "great" when you don't know the financials of the deal...

I can, and I did because that’s my opinion. It is great for reasons other than money, in addition to the fact that we have finally locked down a young talented safety in his prime who has already produced compared to someone such as Matt Kalil. I am tired of 30 year old + one year FA signings at safety. You can’t rain on my parade.

I hope there are plans to bring in a safety who can cover because Reid was good playing in the box, stopping the run, etc but he looked slow in coverage and seamed out of position and got beat a bunch of some big plays.  We still need a safety who can cover the top and help out way better on the deep throws.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
