He was the second highest paid TE in the League last year.  Guys hoping he'll come here for peanuts is a pipe dream.  Mind you we have already signed depth, we need a stater though.   Here are the 2021 FA TEs: (You may have to toggle to the TEs)

We don’t have a TE on the roster worth keeping

every QB needs a quality TE and we need one

id consider Pitts big time at #8

What I meant is this guy the olson version we released?

Ah, well I think his value is less of that than at least 3 of the other TE UFAs.  He had a good stretch but he's nothing that great IMO.  He's above average, got injured last season, and will be 32 for 2021.  Not worth the money.  I'd much rather target Gerald Everett or Jonnu Smith.  Although, I can't say we invest a lot of dinero at the position.  We'll see, not a huge Rudolph fan.

Rudolph has gotten really old and slow.  Has not had more than 400 yards receiving in either of the last 2 years.  4 years ago, hell yeah, now, hard pass.

I don't think he's gotten that slow, plus we don't need a super fast and athletic field stretching TE, we already have that in our receivers and McCaffrey. Rudolph offers the main thing we don't have on offense and that's a big possession target and red zone threat. Don't need speed to box a guy out in the end zone...

If he would come here on a deal where he would have a 2 - 3 million cap hit, sure.  But more than likely it would be at least double that and until we figure out or QB situation I don't know that we are going to get any skill position players flocking to be here unless we throw a whole bunch of money at them.

Don't worry, we signed Stephen Sullivan already. We're good.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Not totally inaccurate, haha Except that kid wasn't as excited as I was.  I was yelling louder, and more, and running around the room in circles until I almost passed out from exhausting and was trying to catch my breath for a good 10 minutes because I'm way too old to be doing that, LOLOL Oh, and I tweaked a muscle in my shoulder from all the punching the air I was doing too. For as awesome as that pick was for me, it really screwed me up for a few days between my shoulder and lost voice (Wrexham securing back-to-back-to-back promotions Saturday afternoon contributed to that though too).

      Getting Pierce jr isn’t forfeiting the pick they just had 2 1sts this year.

      Full disclosure and the real reason.... I'll be seeing my Nephew in basically one month from today, and while I've gotten him stuff from my other teams the past year, I hadn't been willing to saddle him with Panthers stuff yet, that's now changed lol. So if the jersey would get to me before I see him, I'd get that and him his first Panthers onesie/shirt so I can get a picture of us together in them. If it wouldn't get to me by then, I'd just wait to get the one I prefer.  So yea, my rush is really just about trying to get a picture of myself in it with my Nephew in Panthers gear too.
