Panthers about to trade for CJ Henderson?!?!

Getting CJ is great also because he fits our system much better than Jackson. I think long term Jackson will be our slot CB. We like to let our safeties jump routes and have the CBs take over the deep coverage, and Jackson is not suited to do that due to his height/speed limitations. CJ and Horn are the perfect CBs for our funky system because they can cover more ground and get deep in a hurry with long strides.

Crazy as it may sound, Donte is faster than both of them.

It's sounding more and more like DJax would be great for FS and we can put Chinn permanently at SS were he belongs.

Seems like CJ needed a change of scenery since it's odd for a team to give up on a 1st round pick after a year.

I think a few of us had pointing it out during the broadcast at the time but CJ Henderson looked miserable when he found out he was being picked by Jacksonville

IMO, he has played up to it until the last 3 games. Again I'm a fan of his, and I hope he earns every cent. 17th doesn't sound that bad, last I saw, pretty sure he was higher up the list. Also, he's set to make a poo ton the next 2 years.

 

I stand corrected, he is the 20th highest paid linebacker

Next year he is the 18th highest paid linebacker

2023 he is the 15th highest paid linebacker

It's not a bad contract.....

I don't see why not. His tackling looks a lot better too this year. We'd have to give him corner money to play safety though. He's gonna want a payday.

Donte Jackson is a corner, yall are being stupid

Coach Snow is going to go completely ham when all his toys are finally on the field. 

He be like, "Oh you thought this was it? Bitch this isn't even my final form."

So this is what it feels like to have a real GM

I point this out each time, but those LB rankings include Pass rushing LBers like Watt, Mack, and Vonn Miller, AKA 3-4 LBers. Completely different skill positions.

Removing those LBers, he is around 7-10 for 4-3 LBers

Having played in Gainesville, you best believe he was well aware of Jacksonville's rep.

He looked like he'd been charged with a felony, and had no lawyer.

Whatever "mental health issues" he might or might not have experienced, subsequent to that low moment in his young life, he will be as overjoyed as Sam Darnold to have escaped from their respective dungeons.

I expect a handsome return on this investment.
