Nah. We need to draft a guy still. Roy is a backup, Kerr is a journeyman that will need to get replaced eventually. Still are gonna need 2-3 DT's in the next two offseasons.

To me Roy is a young version of Kerr. Its close to only one should stay.

WTF is wrong with you? KK was meh in 2018 and missed most of the last two years. He looked like poo in the time he played this year. He got easily moved out of the way.

We cannot get rid of his $11M in dead cap. Do not pull a Marty and make it worse like he did with the restructuring. He did that and decided to keep Short and look what happened.

Listen, there’s a 10x bigger chance he’s lost for the season yet again than he regains his stellar play at 32 after two missed seasons due to his shoulder.

I just don’t get this line of thinking. The D got better after he got hurt. Kerr played better than Short yet here we have another terrible thought to keep pushing money down the drain. Take the $11M cap hit we can’t change because it’s money already paid to Short. Stop giving him new money that will now be added to the cap for play not better than minimum salary guys. We already lost $13M more in 2020, don’t compound it giving him another $20M more.

Take your hat off and I’ll put the baseball bat to the side of your head. Kerr was paid $1.5M and will get $1.5M this year and you honestly think Short should get 10x that spread over 4 years? GD it, you deserve the bat to your head. Hey, guys let’s spend $20M on Short so we can’t afford to resign Chinn and Brown. MF.

If Short is on this team in 2021, I’ll become a Jags fan just to root on Lawrence.

Nice throat punch. Its more spit balling and putting it on the forum. I knew theres a huge push back on keeping KK. Its just a way to keep KK a panther at a fair rate, especially if it was important to him. 6 million is nothing for a starting DT with his resume. I already stated 0% chance, firing up the forum folks. Without any dead cap, I think 6 million is a good deal for all. Smart move is post june cut......but he could even lower base some and still do a deal like I stated....heeeehe )

Well they are both relatively cheap. Obviously the rookie deal is better.

Thats me, its a toss of the same coin. One is better currently, but the is other is younger and more years. Before Kerr got convid, he was looking like a legit starter/top-rotation player. Hes a great locker guy, hes popular among his peers. Plus I like to have a few of those types- happy, hard-working, earned everything types on the roster. 

I like Roy, hes on the same path as kerr imo. Its a tad redundant with two that play the same spot. I still want a legit starting DT next to brown. Who knows Roy could show up to camp ready for that role and force the panthers to start him. Roy plays hurt, Rhule and me love that trait.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.

      Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?

      Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
