Mortensen: Keep an Eye on Clowney

On Golic & Wingo just now, he said to keep an eye on him regarding teams looking for pass rushing help.  Said the Jets tried to trade for Frank Clark and may look to Clowney next, as he is only franchised and doesn't have a long-term deal yet.

Interesting...

Would you trade our first for him (considering we would have to find a way to pay him too)?

I don’t want Clowney but this isn’t Madden guys. Build through the draft...the Panther mantra right? Except Norwell and Norman walked and we used that money to pay KK who disappeared and Matt Kalil.

I don’t mean to beat a dead horse but in the world outside of Madden you simply can’t have some all star team of underpaid over preforming rookie studs. At some point you have to pay the performers and the issue is the Panthers have NOT built through the draft and instead allocated sources in duds.

Considering we had to restructure Luke's deal just in order to sign our draft picks.

 

There is litterally no chance we trade for a guy who is going to be one of the top 5 highest paid defensive players in the league

I agree to build through the draft.  Paying him would really hamstring us, and he just hasn't been as impactful as I expected, nor has he been very durable.  Just posted the question bc Mort presented him as a possibility and there was a good number of posters here who wanted to go after him before he got tagged.

Mario Addison has had more sacks. No thanks

Clowney has made the pro bowl the last 3 years. Addison has never made it and is not in the same stratosphere as Clowney. 

I still say "hell no" to the OPs question because we would have to give up a first and more importantly pay him.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
