I know you don't want to hear it but if you aren't going to pay D. Jackson top 5 CB money then you need to trade him

Jackson has been action this year, I am happy for him, he is going to get PAID as his rookie contract was second round money. Thing is, this is the PEAK value of Jackson on a team that has a surplus of CBs (Bouye, Gilmore, Horn, Henderson). You have to trade him, you can get possibly a great interior lineman for him from a CB needy team. If you aren't prepared to pay him top 5, then he his representation will get it elsewhere and then what? Another loss of a Class A asset for no return like Bradberry, Norman.

 

I like Jackson, like his speed and chip on the shoulder mentality but I am also very hesitant on contract year superstars (Mario Williams, Nnamdi Asomugha, Marcell Dareus, Byron Maxwell, Albert Haynesworth)

To who? We’ve been stacking up 1st round CBS like firewood while everyone else had the same opportunity to go and get them. Fitterer already stated multiple times that they’d like to resign Donte, and he isn’t like Rhule with the double speak. Let’s just enjoy, for a brief moment, the possibility that CB is finally a strength for the first time in years, if ever. 
 

Donte has been one of the brightest spots in the rebuild so far. He went from a know it all brat to a vocal team leader in less than two seasons. A lot of that was coaching from Snow and Rhule. We’d be crazy not to try and keep him here and Fitterer has given every indication that’s the plan.

Out of the top 10 highest paid corners, only one is under 6ft tall and that is Tre’Devious White. He is 5’11 and pushing close to 200lbs. I don’t think that is a coincidence.

I think Donte’s size will keep him from getting top 5 money. Donte will probably land in the 15 million per range which funny enough is where James Bradberry landed.

And also will land him on a different roster like Bradberry.   Fitts likes physically imposing CBs, especially on the outside.  If Henderson plays well, we have to let Donte walk so we can spend some money on fixing the offense.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
