With the market being what it is this year, alot of guys that get released are going to find that not many teams are going to be giving out big long term contracts.  Some of the less desirable position (IOL, DT, non pass rushing LB) may find that they have to settle for cheaper 1 year deals and hope the cap picks back up next year.  Guys like Jackson may find that is the case this year.

No thanks. He was just OK last year and he's way too expensive as a guard. Everyone was happy when Turner was gone based on his play versus his contract. Why do we want the same thing? If Marty hadn't been so flippant with our comp picks, we could have easily addressed the guard/future center with 4 comp picks in the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th in a deep OL draft.

We don't have the cap space this year to blow on a guard. We need to extend Moton and then be able to extend Moore, Burns, Chinn, YGM and Brown over the next few years. I'd rather keep that entire core together with a young QB and more young OL than go after an expensive FA guard. If we are going to spend a bunch of cap, let's at least spend it on a key position.

Very similar to Turner.

Yes and No.  His play did dip slightly this year but was still one of the better starting OGs this past year.  He was like Turner where his contract was bigger than his play and a hinder to the team (thus why they cut him to open cap)

That doesn't mean he is going to turn around and sign another big deal.  He is easily affordable for us.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
