Can we ask somebody else to be in charge of that.  I have this fear of hearing something like 6 years, $227 million if Marty handles it.

Fact is another team will pay him more. Would rather see if there is trade value than pay. We have much bigger holes. The draft is chalk full of WR talent all over the place.

Pay Moton instead

Can't trade him now. And I don't see any other teams offering a lot. What has he shown that screams "big deal in FA?"

Didn’t say anyone would offer a lot. And I didn’t say anything about a big deal. All I said was another team would pay him more. 1. Because there are plenty of teams more desperate than the Panthers at WR and 2. The panthers have offensive weapons that already have what Samuel does, he is a commodity on this team. That is, granted, in if they plan to keep what they have if Moore/CMC/Anderson.

If no team offers a lot, we'll just keep him. We have the cap space and clearly see his value in this offense. No other player on the team right now can fill in Samuel's role. Sure, DJ or McC have similar abilities, but we're not going to use superstar players in a swiss army knife role. They are WR1 and RB1. Nobody else on the roster could do what Samuel does.

Regardless of what we think he’d have to be ok with a 3rd string wr salary, and see that no other team offers him more than that. Both in playing time and salary. But I believe a team will offer him more than that.

I would be all about resigning him but as I said I would not be about outbidding another team for him given our current holes and needs.

WR1? Ahem!

Robby and DJ are co-WR1s...

Pay that man! Making Teddy look good as usual

Here the thing. I have always believed samuel is a lot better than what we have him reduced to. A lot of people have him limited to a number 3.. but I think its possible he's better than Moore. He gets open more consistently and has been under utilized by bad coaching(Shula and ron) and limited offensive creativity. Not to mention qb play that hasn't been able to hit him in stride at what he does best. The deep ball.
