Samuel may end up being much cheaper than everyone is thinking. 

This FA WR class is pretty deep and talented. 

Samuel is like borderline top 10 in this FA class mainly because he is still only 25.

Samuel is young and talented, he's going to get a decent contract from another team. 

Similar to Vernon Butler last year when the Bills signed him to a 2 year incentive laden $18 million dollar deal

The reduced cap is going to hurt some feelings in free agency.  I think there could be some cheap value at the end of free agency--we should sit back and bargain shop during week 2 of free agency.

Teams that have money to spend are going to get some great deals.

The big name guys will still get paid, but I fully expect some of the guys that would normally be going in that 4-8m range will be in the 3-6 range.  I would think there might be a lot of guys signing one year deals because of this.

He got that deal because of the Buffalo Carolina connection.

Only team I can see that would offer more than what I imagine the extension Samuel turned down would be the Giants for the same reasons.

When Person recently reported that there was a 30% chance to re-sign Moton, I called BS on him  because I know Observer folks who know him--and they told me he was a joke.

So remember that when you post stuff from him-the team does not tell him stuff--he has no connections.  He has hair gel for middle aged men.  It is called Axed.

Be careful.  Person says what gets him clicks.

Preach.

No CLT based sports media person/reporter ever gets a legit scoop...

...all a bunch of Cut & Paste hacks -- don't even have an edge on the most prolific poster on this website -- which is quite the sad commentary...

Moton is the priority, then Curtis who I would love to keep but understand if the money isn’t right as there are other priorities (CB, LB, the entire Oline).  Scott showed some upside, but the rest are all replaceable JAGs from a 5 win team.  
 

This is a copycat league.  Teams see what the Buccs just did and it didn’t fall on deaf ears.  Expect the Rams, Seahawks, Niners, Packers to position themselves to go all in and try and challenge Tampa while the window is still open.  The Panthers are not at that stage yet as they need to find the QB of the future first.  If they acquire Watson all bets are off, but otherwise we won’t be able to compete in this arms race for the next 2 years as these teams load up.

It will be interesting.  If you can get a good talent on a third round contract for four years, is he worth 10 times that amount?  I do not think he will get more than about $5-6m.  We probably lowballed him, saving the $$ for Moton.  We will see.

The round drafted doesn't matter.  His talent is now proven, he can probably get a contract north of $12 mil a year the way the receiver market has been.

This.

Between the upcoming free agent group, draft class, and reduced salary cap I'm honestly surprised that Curtis would want to test the market.

Yo why is no one talking about Long Snapper? 😂 

Is JJ worth 1M+ / year?

In my opinion, you should prolly get bargain UDFA long snappers each year and churn em out.

That's peanuts in the grand scheme of things to have long-snapping be automatic. I say pay the man.

People compare the 2021 numbers (rumored) to this year, but that is really not the issue.  The real number is what 2021 turns out to be compared to what teams expected 2021 to be.

Compared to 2020, it is expected to be a loss of about $13M or shy of 7%, which is not good, but not horrendous.  However, based on the year-over-year numbers, teams were probably expecting a number around $210M in 2021.  That roughly doubles both of those numbers.  Depending on how much of that they spent up front, you have some teams whose plans went up in flames, not just smoke.  Some teams do commit to what the project, not what they have in their hand.  That works, until it doesn't.

Given where we are in the process of of starting over, it smarts but we can adjust.  There are some teams in deep kimchi, and some of those are teams who drive up salaries during FA.

I would not want to be an agent trying to drum up big money deals for non-marquee players this year.  Their best advice might be to look for a shorter-term deal and try again when the economics recover.  I would not be surprised to see a lot of one and two year deals this FA season.  

Samuel is in the tier of players who that may apply to.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
