I thought we released Kerr thinking we were going to sign another DT (can’t remember the name off the top of my head) and the guy ended up signing with another team for more money/years.

I hadn't hear that.

I googled it and it was Denico Autry. He ended up signing for 3 years with the Titans. They ended up not resigning DaQuan Jones allowing us to sign him on a one year deal. Funny how things kind of just worked out. 
 

I doubt Fitt and Rhule wanted to give a 31 year old a multi year deal considering how young this team is.

I echo the mastera and easye, Kerr has to be in the top 5 strangest moves. He played well, very cheap, well liked by teammates, hard worker, high effort, just a good pro. He didnt have to start either, just like he made a pass at Treppers woman. 

Efa was weird too, just place the low tender on him, its that simple. I heard EFa didnt like that idea, so?? Gave him up for nothing after spending all that time in development of a super raw player, bad move.

    • The draft isn't a vending machine where you insert a pick, press A3, and out pops a franchise cornerstone. It’s more like a gacha game - you turn in a premium (or non-premium) ticket, hear the fun little jingle, and wait to see what you pulled... without knowing how strong it'll actually end up. League-wide, the average draft hits on about 30 - 40% of its picks when teams have a standard seven selections. So if you walk away with 3 - 4 real contributors... that's considered a solid class. Hitting on 4 out of 11 is right in that range. To be clear: this isn't some veiled endorsement of Tepper, Fitterer, or Rhule. It’s simply an honest accounting of which players from that class are still with the Panthers and heading into their fourth year - and thus outlasting the average NFL career. Just trying to lean more toward more critiquing with clarity rather than lighting it all on fire for the spectacle of the flames.
    • Please do not forget that everything the NFL does is for the increase in revenue. If a big market team draws more money [ticket sales, betting revenue, TV ratings & etc.] when they play at home versus on the road in the playoffs, you can safely be sure the NFL knows & will act accordingly. Just like the draft lottery proposal, if the NFL can capture TV ratings for it, they will.
    • For a WR, 6'4" 220 would be decent size--if you hit the 235 range, I imagine that it costs you speed. I think his speed was an issue. He ran a 4.48 at his pro day. At the combine, he weighed in at 219 (NFL.com).   Mike Evans weighed 225 as a rookie and is also 6'4".  He ran a 4.53 40.  My main and only concern about TMac is between his ears--and it could be nothing.  He seems a bit silly, and it seems that he is in celebration mode when I want him to be in "let's get to work" mode.  Again, some people are just like that, but when they put the helmet on, they get focused.  I want to see that "dawg" before I get overly excited.  The pick is growing on me, and if you broaden the scope to consider what was available in free agency and the draft, it makes sense.  I don't think we got lesser Edge rushers in the second and third rounds, frankly, than what we could have gotten in the first.
