Still gonna hold my breath/keep my fingers crossed til he signs on the dotted line... but this is the FA move we've needed over the past few years. We always have a few guys we wanna target but they get mega deals and we have no chance. We've needed a win on a legit starter/quality player in FA and we seem to have finally gotten one here.

I think this is huge for the draft. It would have put a ton of pressure on us to use 16 for Bradbury or the 2nd rounder for someone. I like Bradbury and it wouldn't have been bad, but with our highest value pick, it's nice to have a chance to use it on a higher positional value guy like a DE or OT.

Very excited for this to be finalized and hopefully we can reel in another guy on a good deal. I hope we use whats left of our FA after this on young/overlooked guys with potential in a different system. Having a move like that pay off would be big to getting us back to where we need to be.

This is an EXCELLENT signing and an EXCELLENT move to shore up a big hole in the roster.

On top of that it also opens up more options for the upcoming draft.  No need at all to draft a center (though it still wouldn't hurt my feelings to use our 1st or 2nd rounder on a LT if one of the better ones is still available).

I absolutely criticize Hurney and I still believe that the future of this franchise is damaged overall with the Hurney/Rivera partnership, but this is a major GOOD move in a positive direction.

Agree with every word.  I just do not  like the LOT draft.  We may draft a G and throw a TE/FB over to help Rob.N Usblind.  (Matt).

we like them gimpy I see.

2014 - Denver practice squad

2015 - played in and started 16 regular season games

2016 - played in and started 16 regular season games

2017 - played in and started 16 regular season games

2018 - played in and started 9 regular season games

So he got hurt last season.  NFL players, unsurprisingly, get hurt.  I don't see a "history" in his record so, until I see something to worry about, I'm not worried.

Very nice. Big need checked off.  I hope they'll give Larsen a chance to compete at LG now.

the LG spot is being set up for one of those "throw a bunch of players at it and hope one sticks" strategy

If we can get Williams back along with a legit C, I'm just fine with that. You're not gonna have All-Pros at every spot. You can easily scheme around one subpar O lineman. Hell, virtually every team out there is starting one.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      C Mc. Gotta love this guy!!

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
