Holy cow, its being reported we want Okung at LT  Daley at LG. Paradis at C and resign GVR to play RG.... is that the worst Oline of all time?

Not even close. Remember that year we had Byron Bell and Nate Chandler as our tackles and that prime time game where the Eagles sacked Cam like 9 times in the first half in prime time

The people claiming Okung is old are the same ones wanting 25yr old Kalil over 36yr old whitworth. How’d it turn out for you guys huh? Smh yall never learn. Just cuz he’s old dsnt mean they can’t play at a high level 

And just because one old guy did okay doesn't mean they all will.

The more I'm looking at this, the more I hate it:

• Trading Trai saves $3 million in 2020 but costs us $9 mil in dead cashola

• Okung missed 10 games last year, Turner missed 9 games over the last 5 seasons.

• We now have 4 OTs and 0 Guards. Sure, people can move inside...but I mean, wtf...

• Trai was a 5 time pro bowler, Okung has 2.  Sure Turner dropped off with a worse supporting cast, but he was 26! Get a GD pick for him.

• Okung is soon to be 32 with injury and health issues throughout his career. 

 

His play was deteriorating, we jumped shipped before he had no value left!

Man mentally prepare yourself. We are gonna suck for awhile. I don’t even think Cam can save us even if he comes back healthy.

I thought I was but then we took a net 2020 loss of $10 million towards the 2020 cap + 1 season of Okung for Trai Turner. 

2020 is set to be a sh*tshow but at least get a late pick and no cap loss for Trai.  We got fleeced beyond belief.

It’s okay, y’all take awhile to understand. You’ll come back acting as if you knew this was a great trade from the start when Okung plays great. Granted he only played in 6 games last year but he only allowed 5 pressures and 0 sacks. I think he’ll be fine

Or not.

Pretty sure people thought Matt Paradis was going to be fine too.

His value equates to a negative in this scenario.  This adds a net $10 million to the 2020 books.  All to just not have him off the books for 2021 and a year rental on Okung.  There were better deals to be made.  This reeks.

This is just about freeing up $ for the coming years, not about putting a quality product on the field 2020.

Understand Panthers are going to eat ass for a while and roll wit it.

If you are Cam? You spend years rehabbing and finally get healthy? To play on a team equipped to get you destroyed?

Yeah if I were him I would bounce. I’ve said it in the past it’s better for Cam’s career if he leaves but he won’t willingly. He’s too invested in this org imo.

Marty is in charge. And we have college coaches that need room to adjust. This gonna be bad for awhile. They’re gonna make a lot of mistakes.

Everyone relax! We’re not trading a 5 time pro bowl OG for a 2 time pro bowler 31yr old OT Straight up. We shud be receiving some picks back in return like a 3rd to even out the deal 

Yeah right lol.
