Reddick's asking price

[musicman]

With all the edge rushers in the draft and some being released, and some teams in cap trouble already, he may not get that. That's why, IMO the Panthers want to leave the communication open. If he doesn't get the money he wants, he would probably take lower to stay, even if it's a 2 year deal.

[Mr Mojo Risin]

If he signs a massive deal with another team we'll get a 3rd round Comp. pick?

Not that we'll use it towards a good player but it's the thought that counts right?

[AU-panther]

and the reason i said Burns was our most valuable asset on the team.

Outside of actually playing QB, getting to the QB is probably the most sought after skill in the league.  He will get paid well.

The one thing that might hurt him some is that this draft class is looking pretty good on edge.

Valid point.

The DL class at The Combine looked really good.

[Smithers]

I honestly think Luvu can do what Reddick did this year, maybe even better.  Luvu was a beast when on the field.  

[ColumbusCounty]

He started off the year on fire... 6.5 sacks in our first 5 games. 

Back end...not so much. 

I believe he had 4.5 sacks in our last 12 games. 

And while's he's still relatively young he's also approaching his 30's. 

I think we're moving forward and looking at filling that void with YGM, Fox, and/or Luvu.

Outside chance that Darryl Johnson Jr (traded our 6th for) or Joe Jackson emerges but another option would be resigning Marquis Haynes but we're trying to get bigger upfront so that might be out of the question entirely. However in terms of getting after the QB he's probably third behind Reddick and Burns.

One of the stronger, if not best pools for draft is DE/edge. Like you said Pats just cut Kyle Van Noy and Chandler Jones/Von miller many others are free agents.........i liked reddick and all, buts hes a try-hard 225 edge guy in a deep pool of options form younger to more talent, etc. 

If he gets 15+ I will be very surprised. At times agents can get players in big trouble, this could be a case where they crawl back to the panthers and rhule/finesererrr are like " sorry that 12+ million offer is expired, used up 10 million of it on a Trent Brown.....best we can do is another 1 year 8 million type of deal....i got other calls, bye!"

[Chief Keek]

Too high for a LB that's only a pass rushing specialist.

[CPF4LIFE]

Yeah....by Reddick. Its been real and fun. 

[CPF4LIFE]

I wouldnt pay that even if this team was competent. Maybe if we hadnt drafted YGM but other than that im sure a real contending team can use him. 

[BrianS]

I hope he gets it . . . elsewhere.

From the article on the McCaffrey trade offers...

One team told me pending free agent pass rusher Haason Reddick is looking for a deal averaging up to $17 million per year. He's had 23.5 sacks in the last two years for two different teams so he's going to get paid. But that number explains why the Panthers aren't rushing to re-sign him.

NFL Insider Notebook

Everytime I see his name, I always think about the Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck cartoon where Daffy finds the Arabian treasure but the guard of the treasure keeps chasing Daffy with his scimitar screaming “HASSAN CHOP!”
