We need to extend Allen.

You don't extend a guy based on one (or two) games.  Allen will (apparently) have plenty of time to show us who he is with Cam out.  If we hit the bye at 3-3 or 4-2, I can understand how it might be in our best interest to extend him.  However, by the same token, if we are at that point, why would *he* want to do that?  Why wouldn't he instead opt to wait it out and get paid?

Now, if Kyle Allen has us at 4-2, I fully expect him to remain the starter for a while.  As such, if he then navigates us to 11-5 there should be serious conversations at the highest levels about whether or not we continue with Cam.  Not because I want to see us dump Cam, but you don't pay Cam 30-40 million per season when you've got a guy 7 years younger who can get you to the playoffs.

Bear in mind, we have three ROCK STARS on offense right now who will want to be paid over the next five years:  CMC, DJ & Curtis.  Assuming they continue to develop, there's 30 million per season right there if you want to keep all three, maybe more.

some sense here.... different strategies involved with running a team.

The RFA probably doesn’t happen. I posted about his contract details yesterday but I did miss the fact that 2018 wasn’t considered a year so we get him dirt cheap his first 4 years (2018 included). The RFA tag isn’t bad but there’s no way someone won’t throw a fat contract on him for a 1st. RFA isn’t like non exclusive franchise tags where you can get two 1sts. If a team can get a “real” QB for a 1st, they will offer a deal. It’s not like Norwell, who while a great player at the time, isn’t going to garner a 1st as a guard.

It’s awesome that we get another EFRA year for 2018 and we’re lucky no one took a chance on signing him off the PS while we had Heinicke. SMH, how lucky were we on that? All that said if he becomes the Cam replacement then we will have to write a big check year 5, when he’s a RFA in 2022 otherwise we would absolutely risk losing him to a QB needy team. I don’t think there’s ever been a starting QB as a RFA.

Verrry lucky. He was wavied, signed to the PS(any team can sign him) and waived off the PS(bad sign).  Then he stayed a FA for weeks(I think it was 3 weeks), re-signed to the PS and late season signed to 53. I believe starting falcon FS Ricardo allen had a similar deal. Practice squad sometime have legit good players on them, Norwell spent time on PS and hes the highest paid OG in the league. Addinson was signed off the redskins squad and hes been fing great since. 

I know very little about ERFA stuff, but I think the price is fixed and only the team can pay it. Byrd was a ERFA and the panthers didnt want to invest 1.333 million, so they "released" him. Sometime players are resigned at lower deals, but most move on. RFA is where you have to place an round on the player. Either 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or original round tender. This is a guess- there maybe an 1st and 3rd tender available. Plus I dont know if you can tag a ERFA/RFA.... Plus I dont know out of the 3 years how many are ERFA ones and RFA ones. 

Could you image this- Panthers place a RFA 1st tender on allen and .........the pats sign him to replace Brady! Late first for a QB picked by Bill, Id need to start poppin pills to get over that.

Does anyone still think Keeperknack is a better option?

E. Reid #35 has some egg on his face after Kyle's performance last week.

Good onya Kyle.  #KeepPounding

At the beginning of Off-season, if one of main focuses would be RPO, Id welcome Kap. 

I was pissed about Reids comments about Kap on this team, there was a long thread about them. I said " Great job having your teamates back". That was awful and a super douche move.

Still if Kap is about competing and not wanting to be handed a starting job like before, lets see what you got. Its got to be in the off-season too.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
