I agree with this, I like Luvu a lot. But if he only plays like he did last year a little high. Whose spot is he takin defense?

Did we even run 3 LB's often? They had Reddick listed as the starter beside Shaq and Carter but he always seemed like he was at DE. I'm cool w Shaq/Luvu/Chinn getting the bulk of the plays in the LB area and just roll w Kenny Robinson in Chinns 2021 spot.

Or rotate one of our CBs to safety if we bring back one of Gilmore or Jackson. I think/hope we bring back Gilmore and take the comp pick for Jackson. 
 

Horn or Taylor could end up great safeties. Gilmore, Henderson, Bouye, Pride, and one of Horn/Taylor is still a strong CB room.

Honestly, would anyone even remember who Jadeveon Clowney was if he hadn't hit that Michigan RB really hard that one time?

Who knows.  He hasn't been a complete bust or anything.  3 pro bowls.  9+ sacks 3 times.

Just not worth the #1 pick.  He's still only 29 and he had a good 2021.  Maybe his career will turn out decent.

I wouldn't touch him though.

This just reads like the Panthers paying a little over what Luvu is worth in hopes that with an expanded role next year his contract will turn into a steal.

Ultimately this deal will be judged on how Luvu develops in coverage because that’s what kept him off the field. His missed tackle percentage of 4% was fantastic but his pass coverage percentage of 100% wasn’t.

Hopefully this means we are letting Carter walk, his play did not take off with the expanded role. Stanford is the only other linebacker (besides Reddick) that is not under contract for next year.

Unless they restructre Moton/CMC/Robby/Shaq we've maybe got $10m to use before draft picks. Maybe less if we trade back and get more picks

The Panthers had a bunch of dead money coming off of their cap and what do they do with it ?   Go on a bad contract spree and just throw money around everywhere for poor performance.  

The team's handling of their salary cap has been just gross incompetence.

    • Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
