Report: CB AJ Bouye close to deal with Panthers

[Captain Morgan]

I agree, but I want to see the full details.  Hoping there's not a lot guaranteed much in year two in the event he isn't effective anymore.

That's not bad.

It’s the same per year we gave Apple and Roberts last year or Searcy the year before.

It’s a fantastic deal if he plays back to his past level. It’s another terrible deal if he plays like last year.

It does feel like we’ve paid a decent amount again to “broken” players again. We done awful with FAs the past few years with only a couple exceptions. Spent a ton of money on retreads and injured players and it hasn’t worked out. Here’s hoping it does. We need a little luck because we are paying a decent amount to guys other teams don’t seem to want.

I go back to saying I think this is truly year one of the rebuild rather than year two.

These are moves like I might expect in a year one.

We botched year 1 last year, badly. Really sucks that we felt like a team that was 1-15 to close the prior two years that lost Luke, Cam and a score of others was worth patching up. Amazing that we even thought that. Honestly, we just got lucky that the young guys on D played their asses off because our offense scored less than Kyle Allen.

Thanks, hell of a deal. Fitterer putting in work!

2 years at $7 million is great! It’s up to our coaches to put him in a position in succeed. He has shown he is capable just a year ago.

Id like to see the details of the contract, right now thats a good overall. I bet its more taking form 2022 cap space, but we'll see.

A problem inherent when shopping in the Kmart bargain bin.  Cap gets better next year, we'll be able to shop at Target.

I would tend to agree with this. Fans and team alike need to show patience of building the team the right way as this is likely a 3-4 year rebuild to the top of the division. However I think if we draft a QB this draft then they are trying to accelerate that schedule. 

[WOW!!]

Good contract now we can add a CB and safety in the draft and work with a nice mix of vet and youth in the Secondary..

[Captain Morgan]

details...

 Bouye joined the Panthers late last week, agreeing to a two-year, $7MM pact.  Bouye will receive $3.5MM fully guaranteed. That will tie him to the Panthers for the 2021 season.

Good deal.

Would not mind Rasul Douglas being re-signed could be solid depth at CB

As long as it does not hinder development of young players.  I want to see how Pride makes the transition from rookie to sophomore.  Hartsfield was listed as a S, now they have him as a CB and he was playing some nickel.  This should keep Jackson away from their #1 WR, which is good.
