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.

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Boy we agree on the dink and dunk. I don’t want to watch that kind of football.  I mean okay if you win with it, it could be tolerable but it feels claustrophobic, constrained, limited, boring.  But for some reason I love a smash mouth heavy run game that wins the LOS and gets the backs to the second level.

      I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.
