Wes Horton and Kyle Love

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.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
