Kenny Galloday got $72mill/4 yrs. That’s with some questionable injury history. Let’s use that as a baseline for DJ’s upcoming contract. Based on previous posts I’ve read, I believe there’s plenty on this board who’d argue they rather have DJ over Galloday. But let’s just see how this plays out. Obviously we’d all love to have a stellar WR core. But with the salary cap and all our needs, we gotta be smart about spreading it around. 

 

So my question is, if we had a time machine and could go back to before Curtis was signed, would u rather have:

 

Option A

DJ - $18mill/yr (minimum)

Or

Option B

Trade DJ for a 1st rd pick

Curtis - $11.5mill/yr (what WFT signed him for)

Robby - $10-11ish/yr (on another 3 yr deal)

DJ moore is hands down the most underrated player on this board. Kenny golladay is not close to the WR dj moore is. Any option that does not include moore on the Carolina panthers is the wrong option.

So then ur saying $18mill might be a low ball figure?

Hopefully we can lock him into a long term deal this summer and not let it get to free agency where his price would be driven up.  He’s a true #1 WR, neither Samuel nor Anderson are, so your 2nd option would still leave us with that need.

I don’t dislike DJ, but I’ve never heard anybody call him an absolute game changer. He’s never discussed amongst the current great WRs in the game. More importantly, it’s his future price tag that scares the hell outta me. I also wasn’t advocating letting the man walk for nothing either.

DJ moore is the best wr we have and it’s not close. If we get a competent qb some people are gonna look very dumb thinking we should trade him. The dude has been producing with shitty qbs since Maryland. Honestly we should’ve tried to extend DJ this year and waited on CMC imo.

It actually is close. Look at the numbers! It's not like Robby has been playing with Kurt Warner. Moreover, Anderson is going to get a raise as well! 10-11 mil is selling him short.

Anderson is pushing 30 and he absolutely is not even close to the talent level of DJ. We can agree to disagree though. Numbers don’t tell the full story.

Teddy actually hits DJ in stride on a few of those passes this year instead of making DJ bail him out in a contested situation (an overlooked but very valuable strength of his), or even throws them at all on others where DJ was streaking open, and that 'game-changer' perspective might be different. Dude was absolutely in position to change games many times.

DJ is the most underrated WR in the league right now. Option A and jt isn't close. If he signed for 18 million Id be ecstatic. I fully expect him to be the highest paid WR in the NFL when his contract is up. 

Why?

Because DJ Moore is still only 23 years old. There are rookie WRs in this draft that are a year younger than DJ. Hell, Golladay is 27. 

I would never give Curtis Samuel 11-12 a year when we have CMC on the roster.

Factor in the monster boom in salary cap were going to see in 2023 and the 100+ million we have available next season and I'm not too worried about his cost

DJ Moore has gotten better and better each year.  I get that sometimes players fly under the radar, but Moore has been handicapped by poor qb play.  When the ball is thrown his way, he generally is making those contester catches.  He does make big plays.

I'd say you keep him because replacing him would be more expensive or volatile with a draft pick.

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By rayzor · Posted

      then we're stuck.  tbh, at this point i would settle for just making it interesting. forget winning a superbowl for now. just get a team that can win games consistently and hope that it's enough to get to the big dance.  we want superman. we aren't getting superman. we had him and we blew our chance with him.  find a way make it work and hope that we can with this little guy and quit wishing our lives away for the second coming of superman. it just ain't happening.

      Gonna have to strongly disagree with you here. Here are the last 20 Super Bowls - only two of them IMO had QB that didn't play like Superman to get them there/win the game/both, and that was Peyton in 2015 and Ben in 2005. Even then they both had that ability, Peyton was just old and Ben young. That said, there were flashes in the pan like Foles in 2017 and (to a lesser degree) Flacco in 2012. But even counting that, it's 4/20. 20% odds aren't good enough and Bryce was absolutely drafted at #1 to be a guy that elevates an entire team and plays like Superman. If he can't do that then it's a failed pick, full stop. Being a poor man's Teddy doesn't cut it for a #1 overall and that's true for any team, not just Carolina.

      the problem is if we're waiting for Cam v2, we're going to be waiting decades longer.  our best hope is that bryce is better than we all think he is and that canales is able to work some serious magic with him and the scheme to help him live up anywhere close to the potential we thought he had. he's a smart kid. we just have to be able to have a situation that allows him to use his smarts.  the truth with cam was that een he had to have a system tailored for his skillset coming into the league. the difference between him and luck (which was the debate in '09 when we thought luck was an option) was that with luck, he could be placed in any offense and it would work...hence the higher floor he had  than cam. cam, though, needed an offense that was built around him to reach his potential. he could have done alright in a more pro-style offense, but to reach his ceiling (which was seen by a lot of people as being higher than luck). i don't think having to have an offense tailored around what you can and can't do well is a problem for people who can develop around them...after they've truly identified what those can and can't items are. we didn't have that last year. i think we have that this year. we want a guy who can carry a team on his back, but those kind of guys are very rare. we don't need to spend our time trying  find that guy, because even when you have them there's no guarantee that they will be enough.  championships are won, quite often, by teams who learn to compensate for less than the greatest QB play. you have a great defense and can protect the ball while wearing out the other defense and you've got a chance.  we don't need Bryce to be superman (despite where we drafted him and what we paid to get him). we just need him to be able to run (manage) a good offense.
