When healthy, the dude is a high end starter.  Not elite, but high end.  That's worth something.

However, every other team can read the writing.  JimmyG only has 2.8 million in dead cap, but 24 million in salary.  The construction of that contract was genius.  They own him for the next two years . . . if they want him.  If not, he can be cut with basically zero consequences.

Unfortunately, for us to trade for him, Teddy has to be part of the deal.  Thus, Teddy + a first for JimmyG is probably about right.  No, JimmyG alone isn't worth it, but to the Panthers, that's not the deal.  If we were a team with cap space, maybe a third would do it.  We're not that team.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By strato · Posted

      Canales said we don’t draft for depth, but we surely are doing that. Starters in waiting so to speak.   I don’t mind that. They say for every rookie you start you take one loss, rule of thumb.  I think we should get nice bumps from Lloyd and Phillips and am expecting to see a better Scourton. He was very young for a starter - he was 20 when we drafted him, turned 21 in late August. Not even finished growing.   You have the secondary with a good year together, I thought there were some communication issues or blown assignments early last year that should be well worked out by the start of the schedule.  I am not real worried about the defense.  Hopefully they can get the young guys worked in by the home stretch and be a decent D.    I definitely see some red flags with the offense. This line will likely take some time to gel. And more than I am thinking if they decide to go with Freeling.  The running backs, we just don’t know what half of them are and they depend on that line too. And half that we do know, well Chuba obviously fell off last year and we don’t know if that was just from injury or an overall decline. We like to think injury and hope he is healthy this year, but who knows.  If Idzik and Bevell add a lot of new stuff that could come with growing pains.  And if we add in the annual ‘damn, I really suck at this’ start from Young, it could be a slow start for the offense.

      C I can understand, people seem to really, really love Hecht (and to be fair his Senior tape is sensational). S I'm more dubious about, Evero seems to love him some Nick Scott and we're obviously not benching Moehrig as he's one of our best players.

      Biggest need was, and remains, QB.
