Joseph Person of TheAthletic.com reports that the talks have stalled and Williams is expected to hit the open market when the new league year opens on March 13. He’ll be able to start hearing from teams other than the Panthers on March 11.

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.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
