Been getting Daryl Williams questions. Since June, and reported at the time, there has been a gap in financial expectations between the club & Williams’ camp & contract talks were stalled. Williams’ extenuating circumstances in 2018 (injury) didn’t bring the 2 sides any closer.

It's up to the market now. One crazy offer and he is gone. Hopefully it never comes and we have a shot at a decent but not record book contract. Sounds good about his knee. Regardless of how this shakes down he played hard here and was fun to cheer for when he was plowing into Ds.

Per LaCanfora:

The Bills and Giants will be in pursuit of Panthers tackle Daryl Williams, I'm told, and his price has soared above where the Panthers are likely able to match.

If we were in talks, the knee must have checked out. Props to Hurney for not rolling over and handing DW a blank check, but I really hope we get this one right. I'd hate to see DW walk for a market value starting RT contract if he's healthy.

He's going to get overpaid, so many teams with cap space available. I cringe every time I see a post saying we can't afford this player or trade for that player because they are expensive.

It's like our fans think quality players come cheap. Then after all is said and done and we end up with average FA's they will say "why do we always sign low quality FA's", ugghhh because we are not willing to spend for the big star FA's.

 

Williams will be a top player in this FA market, he will cost a lot. We have to either pay him or somebody else will. It's that simple.

There are a LOT of Panthers fans in support of paying this guy an additional $7M this season instead of making him a post-June 1st cut and clearing up $7.25M in cap space. A large chunk of this fanbase has seemingly moved past the point of numbness to watching the Panthers make baffling roster moves and have moved into full on Stockholm Syndrome territory in defending them.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
