To be fair, Dan Morgan was "competent" (and much more) but he had a lot of trouble staying healthy.

I agree with the signing, but it's worth remembering that "competent" doesn't help if it's on the sideline.

Understand, still seems to be a severe overreaction to me.

For some reason? How about this:

Just in case you missed it, on Friday his 2019 salary is guaranteed and for those scoring at home that means no savings if you cut him. Also, you can designate him as a post June 1st cut, you don’t have to wait until June 1st. You get two of those every year.

I think we're keeping him......for now.

As expected.

This always seemed to be the best thing for both sides since he got injured week 1, but teams have shown recently that they are willing to hand out huge deals to all pro players even coming off injury. Based on reports I highly doubt the Panthers expected to be able to keep him. This is a surprising development, as I think most were expecting him to have a decent enough market, but fortunately for us it just never developed for whatever reason.

Gantt understands the concern...

 

I get the concern, but I never thought Williams was going to get double what he got coming off of an injury like he had. We are talking a RT where the "value" is far less than a LT. I had figured myself around $7M would be a good price. A month ago, Jason from Over the Cap had his market at about $8M.

We probably will never know the details of other offers he may or may not have received, but its plausible he wanted to come back to Carolina on this deal to an environment he is comfortable with in order to rebuild his stock rather than going to a new organization on a 1 yr deal.

Panthers know way more than you and other teams about the status of his knee. This isn't a player who's proven to be injury prone. It was a one off injury that got hurt again after he returned too soon. With nearly a year to heal fully from it there's no reason to think he won't be fine.

"For now" becomes "this season" if he's still on the roster after Friday.

It's hard to imagine they won't let him go by then.  Maybe they're just waiting till the Williams signing is official.

It's still a judgment call, and judgment calls can be wrong.

Hope this one's right.

I think Rodrigue said one of his offers was for 3 years.

There was some vague mention of other teams "not being a fit" but who knows what that means?

I expected him back based on the fact that no team knows him as well as we do. He hasn't played since his surgery. So his greatest value, was with us. No one is going to give an offense of tackle big money, when he hasn't proven that he's back from a serious knee injury.

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

      By Shotgun · Posted

      His first season. I saw it with my own eyes, others saw it too. Old man Dalton had to come in to make the throw. I watch every game. You must of just missed it. He had another chance a couple of weeks ago from the 50 and didn't even attempt to throw it to the endzone....cause he cant.

      If they start Corbett...

      By Matthias · Posted

      I would say if they put Corbett back at center, that would be evidence of some kind of favoritism thing going on.  I would have to ask if our coaches are leaders of men.  So they bet not do some stupid stuff like that.  It would be one thing if Corbett had pedigree at the position, a probowler.  This dude has never been a good center in the slightest, and only looked decent at the guard position in the past. (Which I don't believe he ever had a fully healthy season as a Panther)    So this shouldn't even be a discussion if you're the coaches.  But again, Corbett never should have been the starter in the first place.  I know we're armchair coaching when it comes to these things, but before the season, I was rooting for Mays to win the position.  The guy played a key role in Bryce's surgence last year.  Why mess up that combination?  And they did mess up the combination by making Corbett the starter.  It could be we might of won against the Jags had Mays been the starter. (Yes, I believe it was that critical)  We know Mays went in late against the Cards, where Bryce began looking better at the end. (Though the Cards played soft coverage)  So all these things says Cade Mays is the better center for the team.  Yet certainly he is the better center for Bryce if nothing else.

      He was our best YAC guy in 2023 and 4th in 2024(behind Hubbard, Sanders, Coker). He was a great and productive WR for us because he knows how to play the game, he had a connection with Bryce specifically and our other options have largely been atrocious.
