Horton was on the street when we signed him for a reason...

A big part of that was that we geared heavily against the pass this offseason and Horton was primarily a run defender.

Then suddenly we look like crap against the run. We bring Horton back, and against a team with a strong run game we... deactivate him :thinking:

it really is starting to feel like Rivera and company are just floundering right now.

I see what you’re saying but the point I was trying to make is at this point in his career he’s just not that good anymore. He couldn’t make it with the Aints and then no teams came calling for several months until we brought him back. If he still was strong against the run, there’d be a market for him. I love what Horton brought in his years here before, as an UDFA, but I don’t think he has much left.

I can understand that. To be fair though, the list of guys on our defense who don't look very good right now isn't a short one.

The same reason why we started Moton on the left, Williams on the right then switched everything up after one series coming out of the bye. 

Man that was was the most asinine move we’ve made in a long time that one struck a nerve after Daley playing so well weeks prior. But I’m no coach so let me sit back and get ready to enjoy the show.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
