Shaq

Y'all are blind. 

Well... Sometimes he misses plays--like when the Cardinals RB juked the crap out of him for a 1st down on a long 3rd down that resulted in a TD that possession instead of a FG. Also, I believe he got absolutely burned for a TD against the Chargers too. 

 

Overall I do think he's been solid, but to say all he does is make plays isn't exactly 100% true.

Luke signed that contract like 5 years ago though, cap has risen a ton since then, so it's not exactly a good comparison. Definitely still think Shaq is overpaid, but his contract relative to Luke's isn't the same, it's a lower percentage of the cap.

That’s fair. Cap inflation in the NFL ain’t no 3%. However I do think that contract was signed based on assumption that the cap will continue to climb at dizzying rates and with COVID that is no longer remotely a reasonable assumption.

    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
