Hate to see him go, I really like the guy and he has a great story. 

He's a rotational player on the d-line but someone is going to pay him big for potential. Can't blame them or him... if he keeps going, he'll be devastating. If he maintains where he is, though, he's going to be an expensive rotational guy and that is probably why nothing came together before today between him and the Panthers.

Hes a great story but an ok player. I like his flexibility at DT and DE as a pass rusher. He's shown flashes but rarely been consistent.

That said, he did say he contemplated quitting football last year. While I dont want to criticize his state of mind especially during a pandemic, there is some concern whether or not he was committed and all in on football. 

If he isn't? I wish him luck in whatever his next venture is because his natural athleticism and skill, while still greater than anyone on a message board, arent enough to carry him if he isn't putting work in to get better. 

I hope he comes back if he's committed because I'm a sucker for the feel good story and he has shown enough glimpses of his ability, but in reality, we could likely replace him with a younger player.

Not really, he's great depth/rotational guy.  A lot of teams desperate for that will over pay for that if they a good one.  We probably couldn't afford to at his market rate.  I bet the pick up another similar player in the draft now that they lost him.

Wasn't he the only RFA we had yet to re-sign?

Only guy that hasn't received a tender offer yet.

We speculated earlier that maybe they were trying to sign him to something longer, but this sort of flies in the face of that.

He's been good depth. I was hoping we'd keep him.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By Panther53521 · Posted

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….

      Three straight first round WRs is straight up Matt Millen poo. Considering the draft capital we have tied up on Bryce after that trade we would basically have spent damn near all of our draft capital in recent years on QB and WR just to put one of the most anemic passing offenses in the league on the field. Clown show poo.
