I know Wes is JAG but do you think we will re sign him if he comes back for close to vet minimum or do we let him walk no matter what? Also what about Love? I am surprised that he is still available at this point. 

There are still a lot of surprising DL still available. I mean, Suh and Ansah are still unsigned. I think after the first wave of free agency this year all the other teams were essentially happy to wait and see if they could land a guy in this deep DL class instead of paying a FA. Suh and Ansah are probably just wanting more $$$ or more years than teams are willing to offer them at their age. There will inevitably be some teams who don't have the draft fall their way for DL and they'll get signed.

Both will be back unless they find a big payday elsewhere. Horton knows the system and is excellent as a run stopper. And there's no way RR is going to leave the Round Mound of Bring 'Em Down on the couch this season.

Both are lunchpail guys that come in and do their work, no fuss, no screw-ups. They are the kind of guys that never make the national coverage but real Panthers fans get to see these guys doing the hard work on a regular basis.

Due to Love's age and the fact the DT depth is better than DE, Horton probably has the better chance of returning.  Love will be back only if nobody else is interested (which is highly doubtful) considering his diminishing role and tight cap space here in Carolina.  Being as thin as we are at DE, I'm fairly confident Horton will be offered a contract if he can't manage to land somewhere else.  Probably another 1-year deal for around the veteran minimum.

With the depth of talent at DL in this year's draft some teams might be hesitant to sign anyone until after the draft.

Love is 32 and Horton is 29, and never been better than pretty good. Their agents' phones aren't ringing off the hook. That being said, Love played very well last year and Horton is a solid backup, especially against the run. I could see them both getting picked up next month. I hate to loose Love.

      Malik Willis anyone

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
