Mario Addison reportedly will hit free agency despite Panthers attempting to re sign

Per PFT:

It appears that teams looking for a pass rusher in free agency will get a chance to talk to Mario Addison.

David Newton of ESPN.com reports that the Panthers have expressed interest in re-signing Addison, but that those efforts have fallen short of convincing him to give up the chance to talk to other teams. Newton reports Addison is set to hit the open market come the start of the league year later this month.

Addison just finished his eighth season with the Panthers and he posted 9.5 sacks to lead the team. It was Addison’s fourth straight season with at least nine sacks and he has 55 sacks over his entire tenure with Carolina.

Those numbers should have appeal to other teams, but Addison may still wind up back with the Panthers if he doesn’t find a better offer than what his current team is willing to put on the table.

So he’ll be a Redskin.

Or the Bills. It sucks because we really need him because we have nothing other than Burns. I’m sure he doesn’t want to be a part of a re build and will go to anyone paying the most. No more discounts for us (he has really been underpaid here since he arrived compared to production)

As much as I'd like to see him stick around, the guy is 32 years old and will be 33 before the season kicks off.  At best, he's got a year or two left at his current level.  If we get him on a good deal, fine, bring him back.  If someone else wants to pay him bonkers money, more power to them.

    • Running or being able to run the ball allows you to control the game. You control the pace, score, and time of possession. It does also allow your defense to rest and when they do get on the field, go 100%. That in turn forces the opponents offense not have 3 and outs. That's huge pressure, if the other team is just running the ball while having 14 plays drives.  If you are able to get 3.5 yards a carry and mix in smoke routes that gain similar while allowing the clock to run......you control the game.  Deal is nearly all rules changes in the 25 years have helped the passing part. Young folks and gambling folk want to see 37-45 scores. Those 10-16 score teams are poison and toxic, I don't care personally just win. I can enjoy a 6-3 slug-out just the same as 50-42.  There just too many factors to go over. Running used to be important for playoff ball, cause it was before half the league got domes. Running the ball in snow, cold, wet conditions was the path. Like NE played in that awful division each for 20 years during the Dynasty run, they normally had the #1 seed and home field. Thats why bill always had a #1 defense and enough offense to win. It was a huge advantage.    I have thought you need to pass in order to score, THEN you must be able to run the ball with 7minutes remaining to keep the other teams offense off the field. But if you're setup to pass and get no experience during the game to try rushing plays, who knows what you can do. So I feel you truly need a balanced attack, that's the key and main goal. Run for first downs went you need too and pass for TDs when you need too.       
    • The whole team seemed to be in a funk that game. At the end of the day I think the Super Bowl week and everything that came with it paired with the coaching staff stubbornly refusing to make any significant changes for their opponent was a perfect storm of circumstances that is exactly how you lose a Super Bowl. When you add the refs and the league blatantly trying to get Peyton Manning a walk off into the sunset ring it's a wrap. We needed someone with attitude willing to fight back. I wish we had 89 just for that one game. I think the result would have been different. He wouldn't have let that bullshit fly. He may have gotten himself ejected in the process. But it would have lit a fire under the rest of the team. Just my opinion.
