Things we've definitely learned...

- Number one, in-season firings? Not a problem (clearly).

- He's got a close relationship with the Kraft family (that one turns all kinds of things on their head).

- He wants to expand the football operations (woefully neglected under Jerry Richardson).

- He wants a coach who believes heavily in analytics (already knew that one, but it's valid).

 

Things we might be learning...

- He may be looking more at the Patriot Way than the Steeler Way (or an amalgam of the two).

- Might be okay with retreads (if the above is so)

- Is apparently going to handle the head coaching search himself.

- Also expected to go after an offensive head coach.

 

 

Get ready for an interesting offseason.

As much as I despise Brady and Belichick, I am grudgingly forced to admit their skill, thus I can live with The Patriot way if it involves NOT getting lockedinto any particular mindset except winning. (Something I admire about Belicheck, he’s not married to any particular scheme system etc) but doesn’t involve cheating.

I am excited again to be a Panthers's fan. I don't know how all this shakes down but we have a chance at being better. There are definitely some scary possibilities moving forward but this team needed a change and they finally got one. I hope he can keep up the great work.

      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.
