ironically he has been pretty bad with the Jags, the grass is not always greener.

Actually he’s played quite well, if you actually pay attention and also consider what kind of offense he has to worth with, 90% trash.

I believe he’s also been playing injured.

Worth his contract? Maybe not. But to say we dodged a bullet by not spending on him in order to pay Matt Kalil even more money I mean...joke is ultimately on the Panthers.

Yep, some sites had us getting 99 (over Watkins) but it’s as expected. It means our 4th is 116. Not bad, 7 3rd round comps is a lot. As usual NE is good at this.

So for the pleasure of Dontarie Poe we lost a 3rd or 4th for Star and gave Atlanta a 4th and spent a lot of money as well.

Heck, we didn’t get a 6th for Dickson either because of other FAs who didn’t even play. I’m just glad we didn’t burn the 3rd for Norwell. We are going to need it. 

So many of the average fans around here look at these free agent deals in a vacuum and never understand the total cost of some of these deals.

I'm guessing everyone of them would happily trade Poe for a third now.

It takes a bit of discipline for the teams.  The less UFAs you sign the more comp picks you tend to get.  The more picks you get the less free agents you should need in theory at least.  I think it is no surprise that some of the teams that historically receive the most comp picks, Patriots and Ravens have been some of the most stable and successful over the last 10-15 years.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you should never go after free agents, just be smart about it.

I think teams would be better off by staggering it.  For example if you (in simplest terms) lose 2 and gain 2 you receive no comp picks.  If you do that over 4 years you will have received none over that four years.  If you were to do 3G-1L, 1G-3L, 3G-1L, 1G-3L you would have singed the same number of free agents over that 4 years but you would also have 4 comp picks to show for it.

Also waiting for the in the summer to sign guys that are cut can be wise.  They don't count towards the comp pick formula and also they tend to be a lot cheaper at that point.  Could we have signed someone later do give the same production as Poe?

      [PFF] Tetairoa McMillan Will Unlock Bryce Young and the Panthers Offense!

      By Icege · Posted

      Summary The 2024 Carolina defense posted a 44.9 grade last year, which was the worst in the NFL since 2020. They also had the worst receiving grade in the NFL despite a QB that emerged in the second half of last year. TMac is most likely WR1 in this class and is now WR1 in Carolina He's going to be incredibly helpful on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone. Highlights show just that: First highlight is Arizona vs. Utah. 4 verts vs. cover-0, TMac lined up alone on a go ball vs. press = we're launching it Second highlight shows his potential as the X. Runs a backside in-cut and the Tampa-2 MLB sells out on the corner route, leaving his back to TMac. Tough over the middle, explosive after the play. Sees TMac doing a lot of what Mike Evans was asked to do in Tampa. Third highlight shows how effective TMac is in the redzone and it's his one-handed catch vs. Travis Hunter. Brings "indefensible plays." Has size advantage that can beat guys, can jump, and has ridiculous hands. Will help Bryce in year 3 as it will allow him to continue playing "fearless" like he did after coming back from benching. Highlights show where TMac fits and re-emphasizes how he's going to make things easier on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone: Fourth highlight shows Bryce vs. ATL when he hit AT vs. AJ Terrell down the sideline. Bryce has to hold the single deep safety during his drop to give Thielen a chance (who is only 4yds off of the LOS when Bryce is throwing it). Registers the big-time throw attacking vertically. Fifth highlight is vs. KC on a blitz where Bolton is coming downhill while Karlaftis is dropping back over the middle. Has an in-route that has outside leverage with Chris Jones applying immediate pressure. Layered it over Karlaftis' head for the completion. Sixth highlight is the fade route TD to David Moore vs. Zona. in the redzone. David Moore was the X on this play. Thought this was interesting, especially considering recent conversations about Bryce's intermediate game needing to be better:
