The CJ Anderson trade gives me hope that Fitty and Rhule can fix the Oline this year.

Speaking of O-Line :

packersb_logo.gif Rick Wagner, OT, Packers. Age: 31. star.gifstar.gifstar.gif
Rick Wagner played very well for the Packers last year, but he was released because of financial implications (Green Bay was $11 million over the cap.) He is still a solid starter in the NFL.

What does everyone think?   Kick the tires or not?

I think they would rather have young guys with upside with coaching.  Older vets are only stop gaps at best. This far into the season is not the best time to bring in olinemen if you want them to start right away. Anyone brought in now would not start right away.  

We will be better off starting the rookies if it comes down to immediate need due to injury. 

I can't see them shelling out big money on a backup vet.

I plead posting pre coffee. Now go away.

Pre-coffee Posting Syndrome is a serious condition that afflicts 12,000 Huddlers a week.  That's why I try to pause and employ some compassion and charitability every time I read a post on here that makes me go "Wtf??" (roughly every 27 seconds, on average).

After the CJ Anderson trade I am not putting it past Fitty and Rhule to pull another one off at some point, say maybe trading Shi Smith (gonna have a hard time getting the ball thrown his way as much as he deserves being the 4th WR) and Daley ("Sure he looks awful on tape (insert some hapless bottom dwelling GM's name here)

 

Why not throw in Horn and trade all of the Panther Gamecocks?

So much harder to improve the OL during the season than other position units except maybe QB. Absolutely no one is looking to trade starting quality OL. At best you’re looking at a high tier backup being available and that’s basically what we have now. We are also out of 2022 picks we could reasonably trade for someone that is a good player unless we move our 1st which I’m pretty sure no one wants to do.

CJ is also a very unique situation where the player was disgruntled and things weren’t working out which made him available for cheap. Normally a guy like CJ would take a 1st plus something else just to not get hung up on. There is a somewhat similar situation available out there on the OL. Isaiah Wilson was the 29th pick last year and unemployed. However, his issues are are several orders of magnitude beyond CJ’s.

Ideally we need a C.  The middle is weak.  Irving is not the weakest link on this line unfortunately.  The answer for the G's are ****hopefully**** on the roster.  I think changing the C out mid season would be nuts unless it's someone who's been with us since training camp - though I don't think tecklenburg is the answer there.

Are you saying you would not trade your rookie late round draft pick 4th WR as part of a package for a starting quality OL?

I'll give you time to consider your answer carefully.

Why would anyone give you anything of note for a guy that's not played a down in the NFL?

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
