Maybe he was overpaid a bit, but we have to consider that him signing this early in the offseason allows us flexibility to see where we stand, before the draft and for other FA signings.    Maybe that little bit of overpay was worth that.    I still think it's not a bad contract, and if he was average with no off-season and playing out of position then he should be just fine with those things corrected.     The entire defense was weak last year.    Even Luke looked average before Rivera took over the defense to be fair.

That means we have to find a true FS. I hope we aren't counting on Gaulden. Better sign one in FA or be ready to strike again with one of those four picks in the first three rounds.

To me, this signing says that the team doesnt know how the Gaulden pick will pan out. Reid's contract is set to expire when Gaulden's does. Maybe they are hoping that he develops under Reid?

Now we need to draft or sign a ballhawk FS. Gaulden can be back up SS and compete for Nickel (like he played in college). I would love Fowler and a C to get signed just to give us some new talent on each line before the draft... (still not sold on Williams’ knee).

Hard to compare Reid's contract with other safeties who signed their contracts in previous years.  Market is always changing.  Just look at all the WR that get paid more than Julio.  I do think this is a very very slight overpay, but I'm confident he will earn it.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      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.
