Shaq signed to 4 year extension through 2023

Recommended Posts

I’ve been hoping for years that the Panthers would build their scheme to match their personnel instead of the other way around with the 3-4/4-3 stuff. this feels like a step in that direction. I like the 4 year term as well. thumbs up for this deal from me.

shaq is low key playing better than luke this year. he can perform in a 3-4 and a 4-3 and plays in both base sets and nickel packages. he's the best pass rusher not on the DL and has no real weaknesses in his game.

13mil a year is a chunk of change but if you're looking to secure a framework of good players on which to rebuild this is a logical way to start.

But the huddle scouts said he sucks.

did you just multiply the number of teams by 3 because uh that's not really a good metric 

It’s just an average. Some teams have 4 playing at one time, some 3 and even 2 if they are playing nickel. Either way, he’s not in the top 10% of all LBs.

I'm not sure I would've re-signed anyone before getting a coaching staff in place. Why commit major money to players the new staff may or may not be high on?

This just doesn't make sense.

It only makes sense to me....if Tepper already knows who the coach is going to be and has had a conversation about it.

I'm kind of hoping that we're also talking to Bradberry.

I feel fairly comfortable saying that if the result of the next offseason is that we paid this much for Thompson but let Bradberry get away, people will probably be... miffed.

This was the type of deal I was expecting for Bradberry. I'm not sure they can afford two deals at this price, even with the cap carry over.

    • And perhaps to a lesser degree, Coker, Umanmielen, Ransom, & Smith-Wade. 
    • I'm OK with it. I think it's a little high considering his injury history and weight issues, but Coker seems to be a solid kid that has an understanding of what it takes to be a pro, and I believe that they believe that he did enough last season to show that he's ready to be a consistent force within the offense. Let's go, Coker, be all that everyone, including yourself, knows that you can be!
    • https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.
