Rumor: Panthers Interested in Acquiring Haason Reddick

Redick's value is little to none. Arizona has yet to figure out how to utilize him and I'm sure would be more than happy to unload him for any compensation. He's in the last year of his rookie contract and there's almost no chance they pick up his 5th year option. Probably the only reason they haven't publicly declined it already is to inflate some trade value thinking teams might be stupid enough to offer something meaningful. I'd be ok with offering a conditional 6th if he meets some significant metrics (e.g. plays > 60% of snaps) that drops to a 7th if he doesn't, banking on the Rhule connection and former 1st rounder upside. But outside of that, I wouldn't bite.

Yeah, I am okay making a trade for a 6th rounder or lower. Other than that, I am just not seeing it. We can just sign him as a free agent next year. It's also just a one year deal, so trading almost any draft capital for that seems illogical.

After reading an article on him, It seems like he struggled on the inside, but I have no idea why they moved him from the outside to the inside in the first place. Maybe Arizona wasn't patient enough and put someone else on the outside to get quicker results and then were desperate to find a starting spot for him since he's a first rounder?

I would definitely take a shot on him for a low price. He was very talented coming out of Temple and is familiar with Rhule and Snow’s D. Could be a rewarding reclamation project.

Undersized edge guy in college having trouble adjusting to LB in the NFL.  We already have one of those with Haynes.  I'd swap the two straight up, but that's about it.  No higher than a 7th rounder to sweeten the deal.

I’d first check their roster and see if with them draft he’s even going to make the team. They can cut him and save $2.3M so it’s not like they wouldn’t benefit from not having him on the roster. We tend to jump in too quick thinking anyone other than us sees value in this guy. No one else does and if he actually wants to play a few more years then playing for Rhule is probably his best chance.

Jumping in too quick is how we wasted two really valuable picks that could have been our starting C (McCoy) and RG (Evans) on Little and how we paid $3.5M for Seth Roberts and how we cornered the bridge QB market while NO hot a higher ceiling QB for $20M less.

They can't save any money by cutting him. He is on his rookie deal. All that money is guaranteed. They could perhaps cut him but he has been a productive backup for them, so I don't see why they would unless roster spots are tight.

He’s not OL but Arizona would “gladly” move on from Haason Reddick. 
 

https://www.google.ca/amp/s/arizonasports.com/story/1103248/former-temple-coach-matt-rhule-on-haason-reddick-hes-everything-thats-right-with-college-football/amp/
 

Rhule on Reddick:

“I love Haason,” Rhule told Doug and Wolf Friday on 98.7 FM, Arizona’s Sports Station. “He’s everything that’s right with college football. He’s tough, he’s hard-nosed. He got his degree and played so hard for us and so well for us and helped us turn this program around.

“You’re really kind of getting versatility, you’re getting two players in one,” the coach said. “He’s a guy who can play off the ball and be a weakside inside linebacker and use that 4.5 speed to cover guys out of the backfield and at the same time, I think he can be a tremendous weapon blitzing. Not many running backs are going to be able to block this kid.

“And he’s a great nickel rusher. You get into the sub packages — he can put his hand in the ground and his burst and athleticism and getting up the field are elite, even at that level, so I think they’ll use him probably as a combination off-the-ball linebacker, but also knowing they have a tremendous nickel pass rusher as well.”
 

Be interesting to see if Rhule makes a play for him

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.

      They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.

      Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
