KJ Wright?

I think he is perfect  LB for what we need as a 3rd linebacker who can cover and our GM knows him well from Seattle. Should come cheap at this point. What y'all think? He is a FA , so we wouldn't have to give up anything for him.

I'd be fine with it at a reasonable cost, otherwise I'd pass. I heard Wright talking in an interview several weeks back. He was basically of the attitude like he knew his worth, was still producing at a high level and wasn't going to take a "hometown discount". I kind of took it like he wasn't interested in playing for cheap. 

Maybe he understands his market now, which I don't believe is so great due to his age, not to mention the covid-reduced budgets.

Mind you, I'm not saying he's worth nothing, just not what he thinks he's worth.

I believe I heard him state over and over, he was only going to play if he was paid accordingly.... He maybe sitting at home for the whole year... Id like to add him even at his age, but not if hes wanting 8 million to play.. 

Agreed.   

I don't think it's wise to add any more big contracts with all the dead-money on the Carolina cap ( Hurney's parting gift to the franchise ).

The dude has made it clear that he is not going to give the Seahawks a discount, he is asking for big money. Besides, I don't know where he would fit with Perrymen, Thompson, and Reddick taking starting roles, he is not going to come in and be a bench player. I also trust Fitterer who knows him the best, if Fitterer doesn't bring him in there must be a reason.

At this point, for players like him it's better to wait for teams who have injuries to come calling as players can usually get more money at that point.

    • I knew he was hedging for a raise.  
    • I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.
    • For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
