The Ringer: Daryl Williams Will Get A Contract That 'Might Shock Some People' (13 Million+ p/year)

[Saca312]

Well, I thought this was an interesting read. 

You guys willing to pay Daryl Williams 13+ million per year? The Ringer is hinting that might be the case this year with Daryl Williams:

Trent Brown, Ja’Wuan James, and Daryl Williams ... have played better at their peaks than Smith has at any point during his Tampa Bay tenure. Like quarterback, offensive tackle is a spot where competence comes at a premium. Teams are willing to overpay for guys who merely allow their offenses to function. If Smith warrants a contract with an average annual value of over $13 million, then Brown, James, and Williams are going to get contracts that might shock some people.

So, would you justify paying that much for a tackle coming off injury?

Also just to let you know the Panthers don't have that kind of money if that's how it plays out lol.

Just now, black-panthers said:

Daryl is no where Donovan Smith is so far in their careers. 

Donovan sucks bud. Cam Jordan's already expressed his pleasure about his resigning and Bucs fans their despair lol.

Daryl's coming off an All-Pro season with his resume. He's going to garner interest with that flashy award in his belt of high end money.

Now if we're even considering paying 9m+ to Daryl Williams then welp I'd give up.

Heck, even putting him as starter I have my qualms about.

So yeah if the Panthers are stupid to pay him premium when we have Taylor Moton then I have big issues.

[Bronn]

It ain't happening. I'd rather my team draft 4 OL in the first three rounds than pay someone like him so much.

Guess what. All 4 combined would likely make less this year than DW is wanting, and they aren't coming off an injury, NOR have they already looked average to decent, at best, in the NFL.

If he gets that then I completely understand and support the decision to let him walk, but I don't know what Donovan Smith's contract has to do with Daryl Williams. Smith plays LT. 16 LTs make $10M+ per year averages. Only 1 RT (Lane Johnson) does.

No way in hell they should pay Williams that. I’m fed up with the stubbornness of this team. They continuously trot out scrubs with the likes of Bell, Kalil, etc. to protect Cam’s blindside but refuse to try Moton. Kick Moton over and draft a damn RT for pennies on the cost.

[MHS831]

If you can't consistently stop the edge rusher in pass protection and effectively run block, you are not worth it.  And that was before he had knee surgery.

That crazy talk for a RT

Hurney...................

Comp pick incoming? Lol

[Jon Snow]

I would pay Williams 13M before I would pay Kalil another penny.

[WarPanthers89]

That’s insane for Williams. We must let the guy go like Norwell. It’s not worth the asking price when you can easily get someone in the first 3 rounds of the draft this year for a fraction of the cost and similar production. I would rather have Paradis and save a few million

[AggieLean]

I wouldn’t go no more than 8.5 for him. 

I do hope he gets paid. If he gets a huge contract, then that’s a comp pick for us next year.

[Toomers]

  We need to use that 10M and much more to fill some holes on the OL. Forget comp picks. We can’t go into draft needing 3 starting OL.
