Why Kalil and TD playing for other teams is a good thing. And actually should be celebrated.

Agree though I think with TD he’s still a solid player even if as a backup for vet min and we didn’t even consider keeping him for that...

TD signed a 2-year, $10MM contract with 5 guaranteed. Why would he have played for vet minimum?

We are finally not keeping players way past their prime for sentimental reasons. Thank fuging God!

 

Uh we kept Kalil too long, he never should have been extended in 2016. Sure he has a great 2015 year thanks to help from the second best oline in the NFL that year, but he was under contract until 2017. He was worthless in 2016, 2017 and 2018. In fact, when Larsen replaces him there was no drop off stat and play wise. Had the Panther kept his current contract and made him prove it in 2017 to earn a new one he would’ve saved the Panthers a lot of money. He was already showing signs of shoulder/neck injury during the 2016 offseason.

Not to mention the influence he probably had on JR to sign his brother. Was Gettleman’s biggest anomaly of a signing during his time here. Wonder why? You could say he was signed for his intangibles but that’s a lot of money to help Cam call plays and tell the oline where to sign up, things we shouldn’t be paying anyone for.

All in all he pretty much fleeced the Panthers for 3 years of being one of the highest paid centers in the league and I think the Panthers could’ve played it smarter.

 

But I agree with Davis. Great timing and was impressed we actually moved on.

He has alluded to the fact that he was willing to stay here for less money but the team didn’t want him back under any terms. I don’t know what he would’ve settled for I’m just pointing out that there probably should’ve at least been a conversation with TD’s camp about being a backup here for less money but we just pushed him out.

Why would he even entertain the insult that he is worth only the minimum while the Chargers gave him over $5M?

Let's be reasonable.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
