Had the Seahawks/Chargers preseason game on and didn't realize KJ Wright was still unsigned.

With the Fitterer connection and our need for LBs, was curious what everyone thoughts were. 

Is this a Russell Okung type situation where Wright is holding out for money than teams are offering or is there something more to it?

Seems odd Wright is still unsigned bc to my knowledge he was solid last year even though he is getting older.

Would think the Panthers should have interest unless there is something I don't know.

We've been asking this for months. 

I'm sure we've kicked the tires. Not sure what KJ wright thinks he's worth or what he's asking, but I don't know if he can come in and contribute at a high level at this point in the offseason. He'd need to get into football shape and that takes some time. 

I dunno man.

I’d imagine if he’s not been brought in, the reasons are there.  I guarantee it’s not because they forgot he exists.

True. Was just wondering if anyone knew what the reasons were. Only thing I read was maybe a money issue. 

This defense looks like it has top 10 potential and I would hate to see it derailed bc of LB, especially bc historically that unit has generally been the most settled for the Panthers defense and this year its the biggest question mark.

Haven’t heard any reasons.  A lot of times vets play hardball until camp ends then lower that price.

Fret not, if anything derails this team, LB’er won’t be the culprit.

I think our current staff just doesn't value the LB position as much as we think.

We run alot of 5 defensive back formations with only 2 LBS on the field.

One of thos backers will always be Reddick or Shaq. Then we have Carter in the middle. Also we have Chinn as a joker playing linebacker but lined up as a safety alot. 

We just don't need as many LBS as we do defensive backs.

Good point, especially the part about Chinn.  

Probably good news for guys like Myles Hartfield and Kenny Robinson trying to grab the last few roster spots.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
