High Risk Plan For Free Agency

Recommended Posts

Thus saving the season and Rhules job......

Going with 4.7 targets and each has a HIGH risk theme, but thats to keep it somewhat real given the $$$$$$.

 

QB- Jameis Winston 2 year 14 million+/-

Well I just lost half the readers, hes coming off a ACL and should be cheap. Hes got real NFL starts and not that long ago 1st overall. Got saints playbook and seems to be putting in big efforts to get healthy/better. Have a real open battle between him and Sam for the starting job. 

LT - Trent Brown 3years 30million++

Huge is an understatement and has struggled away for NE. But its FA and every team needs OL, so you have to pay up. Lets Christ move to LG and thus giving panthers a decent shot at having a decent OL.

MLB - Leighton Vander Esch 4 years 30 milion+/-

Injuries held him back, but that also means you can get a bargain too. Solves the HUGE MLB hole and a Luke clone.

DE- Arden Key 3 years 35 million +/-

Finesser voiced the need for edges, well here is a young stud thats already been waived and bounced back. One of my former draft crushes. Again solves the bookends with YGM starting at the other.

OG/C- Chris Reed min

I need a vet and call on a former panther that has OG and C exp.

Risk, risk, risk, risk. All contracts have the lowest possible 2022 cap in order to fit, thats means huge dead cap if cut and huge 2023 cap figures, but thats the deal.

If we bring in a vet QB and he has to "battle" Sam for the starting role we are not upgrading the team.  I know Brown has played at LT but isn't he more on the right side?  I might be wrong though.

I think Winston would win, I mean adding a real starting QB would be a near 40million(for one year) cost. Im mainly trying to brige until 2023 draft QB pool. Hes been learning form Payton for 2 years, it had to improve his football IQ.

Brown can play either OT spot, in NE he stayed at LT and raiders placed him at RT cause the division had Miller, Bosa, and I think Frank Clark lining up on RTs. Hes more than able, imo.

    • One thing I didn’t consider is how thin this draft is at quarterback. That’s going to drive up the market for backups and borderline starters like Willis, Jones, and Jameis Winston. Because of that, we’ll most likely be priced out of the market for this tier of backup. 
    • We've already beat the #1 seed twice, why not one more? (Packers and Rams were both #1 seed at the time we played)
    • My determination has come down to this. Based on recent QB history, has Bryce's improvement warranted 50m per season? Lamar is the only original team QB to play on his 5th year. The others took major deals at the end of the 3rd, before or just after the option was signed. Chances are, we're getting asked for the same.  I haven't rooted for Bryce to fail. I've rooted for him to succeed so big that them signing that extension would give me no worries about our future at QB at all. We haven't seen that level of play consistently that this year. We haven't seen it in the past 6 games.  We're about to be at a threshold with Bryce and I worry about what this front office will do. We have a history of bad decision making and Morgan has been part of that group making those decisions. I don't want Carolina in the same boat Arizona and Miami are right now. It has nothing to with being right. It has to do with wanting to win for more than a single season. We've never had back to back winning seasons. Faith in their abilities is not warranted at this point.
