Wtf on Reddick why add so many voidable years and make more dead cap. I thought this Suleman guy was suppose to be great. Damn we just hurting in so many ways

y'all really need to take a second and figure out how the salary cap works in the 2022 NFL and not base it on how your personal checkbook balancing worked in 1999.

It's my understanding the Saints got in pretty big financial trouble using this voidable years kick-the-can-down-the-road strategy.

Yeah, we got our money's worth. The cap hit is relatively slight at around 4 mil in 2022. The voidable years are just that if I'm looking at things correctly. I don't think it's going to hurt that much at all.

They've been doing this strategy for like 10 years and it still hasn't really bitten them (although that's largely because of having a HoF QB and coach combo along with an elite all time 2017 draft). This offseason seems like the time it's finally biting them but I'll believe it when I see it.

Their cap situation is probably one of the main reasons for this Sean Payton retirement rumor. They have to take some lean years and get back under the cap eventually. It made sense when they were trying to compete for a Super Bowl with Brees in the twilight of his career but the saints would probably be best served going into rebuild mode at this point.

You know what I zeroed in on? Making Darnold an 18.9 million dollar backup.

I'd said here that FA would be tough for us because guys are choosing. I don't trust another QB trade with this Fhule headed staff.

I just feel that Cam would be the only and probably most friendly FA QB for the Panthers. Nobody wants this team to win more than THAT guy. You'd never have to question his dedication AND guys look up to him.

Is he the best FA QB? No, but again he's the one who loves you and he looked damn good coming off his couch to truck DBs and LBs. That was beautiful and something I thought I'd never see again. The arm looked live although he wasn't always in sync with his receivers and he looks to be in better physical shape than when he first left.

Make things easy, not difficult. The smartest thing to do is to ask Cam to come back and start at a reasonable price with Sam backing him up(learning how to be a professional from QB1, sorry he needs that) and try like heck to draft Strong to learn and sit behind them both.

With Cam already knowing CMC(who is moving to the slot apparently), DJ, Robby. I think he's already got a head start on any other FA, plug and play basically. Cam told them he has standards, OK now they have a real NFL OC.

We've already told these dummies how to fix this team. It's as if they read this sht and do the exact opposite to their own doom and embarrassment and failure. Let's use psychology...

Don't fix the offensive line. Don't draft Strong and don't let him sit behind and eventually compete against Sam and Cam.

Sheesh

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By dep · Posted

      Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.

      Evero and the pass rush

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
