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.

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.

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.

Had to go down that way. He definitely wants more than were willing. Hope has to be, he is the only one that believes he is that valuable. Then lets low ball T.E. chip boy.

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.

He would be a fool not to test the market this year. Tackles are getting way overpaid.

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.

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.

Maybe ole Hurndog did learn from the past, stop overpaying players!!!

[Pi = 3.1SHutYoMouth!]

He’s probably asking for 10+ mil/yr. enough teams with cap space and need for tackle.

Would rather have the money to pay Weddle. He can walk. We got by without him last year.
