what do draft picks have to do with FA signings

the cap is a myth if your owner has enough money and

/checks notes

tepper is fine

Also now would actually be the prefect time to invest MORE into the CB position as we have 2 key players on rookie deals for the next 3 to 4 years. We could sign Gilmore and extend Jackson and still be good to go.

Gilmore doesn't fit the profile of players we sign under Rhule.  He's 31 now, he'd be 33 by the end of a 3 year contract.  He wants 15 mil per year . . . pass.

With Henderson and Horn on the roster as big, physical, man corners.  Donte to bring speed.  I just don't know where you fit him.  That said, at 7 mil per year for two years?  I'd do that.  We could still pay Donte, we'd have Horn and Henderson.  Our CB group would be STACKED.

A bg fat  no  to signing the 31 year old Stephon Gilmore to a contract that would probably be around $15 million a year when we have other players that need to be resigned.

Yeah well Tampa cannot afford that either so he’s likely not going to go to a good team AND get the bag he’s trying to get. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Not so sure that happens here either...

Nor would I want it to...  but honestly, considering he's coming off this injury, he's 31, and no team really knows what they're getting until they get him in the building, I honestly have no idea what team would pay him anywhere near that amount.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
