PFF

I won't put which teams PFF is guessing the FA are going to go to, just their contract values.  That shows approximately how much the Panthers would have to pay to get one of these guys.

 

Here are the OL in the top 50 free agents:

  • 2. OT TERRON ARMSTEAD, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS — Three years, $60 million
  • 9. OT ORLANDO BROWN JR., KANSAS CITY CHIEFS — Five years, $105 million
  • 12. C RYAN JENSEN, TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS — Three years, $39 million
  • 18. OG BRANDON SCHERFF, WASHINGTON COMMANDERS — Three years, $50 million
  • 26. OG LAKEN TOMLINSON, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS — Three years, $27 million 
  • 32. T DUANE BROWN, SEATTLE SEAHAWKS — Two years, $20 million
  • 38. G CONNOR WILLIAMS, DALLAS COWBOYS — Three years, $20 million
  • 40. G JAMES DANIELS, CHICAGO BEARS — Five years, $50 million
  • 46. C BEN JONES, TENNESSEE TITANS — Three years, $20 million

 

So getting one good free agent interior OL will cost from 7-13M per year.   A LT will be in the range of 10-20M.

This is how much the average NFL franchise would have to pay.  We have a terrible coach and no QB.  If we want one of these guys, we'll have to pay more.  And our cap is a wreck.  Again.

 

all true

This is Robby Anderson's cap hit for 2022:   $16,836,666

For that amount we could have gotten two top interior OL from this year's class.  

Things like that make me want to cry . . .

That and our FO is having discussions about whether or not we have room to extend DJ. SMH. Bunch of effing morons. How we got worse as a team while blowing our cap space and throwing away solid IOL draft picks is beyond me.

To think some folks think the huddlers wouldn’t have this team in better shape the past 3 years. A blind squirrel with a limp could have managed our personnel better.

One thing that I consistently see in the Huddle is the long term view.  People suggest draft picks or free agent acquisitions based on how it would help the team best in the long haul.  It's the strategic plan.

What I've seen with Rhule is much more impatient decision making.  It seems to be based on the short term and without too much long-term thought really put into it.  It's the knee-jerk view of roster building.  That's what a coach does when they think they will get fired soon or quit. 

So it's no surprise that the Huddle would likely have done a somewhat better job than the Panthers have accomplished over the last 2 or 3 years.  Maybe even much better.

Bridgewater to TB?

 

Makes sense.  TB has salary cap problems so they can't afford a lot of $$ for a QB.  And Bridgewater will come cheap.

But he's also a good fit.  The team is already pretty built up from the recent push for the Super Bowl so Bridgewater could slide right in.   He's a smart, dink-and-dunk guy not so different from what Brady was doing.  Read the defense and get the ball out to some low-risk option right away.   

Also a warm weather stadium with lots of warm weather opponents.   So no power arm needed to cut through the cold wind of December games in Buffalo or Cleveland.

Or Darnold's $18M would also solve that issue....or at least contribute about 85% towards signing two OL.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By rayzor · Posted

      Sober. Still feeling it. I really like how the schedule is laid out for us. Perfect for a new HC and rebuilding team. Aside from the Bengals, there aren't  any good teams before the bye. Chargers will be, but they're having to figure poo out just like we are and they'll be coming here for an early game. That one is a toss up. I like our defense against them. I think we'll give the Bengals a fight, but I wouldn't put money on us winning that one. But the saints can be swept. They're beat up and just don't have much going on. They'll be at the bottom of the division. I feel like we will split with the falcons and the bucs. There's nothing scary about the raiders or that washington team. Chicago is another toss up, but they aren't scary either....not yet anyways. We're getting them early in the season so I like our chances. I especially like our defense against a rookie QB. And the broncos....boring. Giants....again, boring. Looking at this, we've got a good defensive thing going on. I think the unit will be better this year a d we're in season 2 of Evero. I like us especially against rookie QBs, and we'll have at least 3 we're facing before the bye. We come in and play smash mouth football and just keep hitting (pounding) away and I think we're competitive. It's that schedule after the bye that scares me. Hopefully by that point they've built up a lot of confidence. You get a scrappy dawg that's got some confidence and a lot of fight in him and you've always got a shot. I think that's what we'll be this year. This year isn't about winning all the games. It's about building confidence and learning what we've got to do.

      Does the Canales era have a new vibe?

      To be honest I just haven't been paying attention. I have PTSD from all these shitty Tepper hires. I'm just going to wait and see what takes the field.

      What is extremely rare?  Taking a young quarterback when you have a starter?  If that is what you are referring to, at one time it wasn't that rare.
