OL flying off the board

 

 

 

and this is why you have to be carefull about drafting a center at #6.

Jones is one of the better centers in the league and just got a deal for $7m a year.

The #6 pick will get a deal at almost $8m a year, if you draft a center that high he better be elite or you just lost value on a cost controlled contract.

Not a bad deal at all for the Eagles. Back to back 10+ sack seasons and only takes him to age 30 so won't be an anchor at the end if he declines. I would've been happy with us paying him that if Burns was being traded. This is another indicator that Burns won't be involved in any Watson deal (hopefully). Happy for Reddick getting paid and being in Philly.

The move is pretty much Watson or bust. He will end up not coming here and then the panthers will go into panic mode and reach for whatever scraps are left. This is a poorly managed team from top to bottom. Dark times ahead. 

If the Panthers don't land Watson then they should just fill their roster with scrubs, stack on cap, get a high pick and start fresh with a new coach, high picks and a boat load of cap next year.  Probably the best play anyway.  The cure hurts.

That's not bad at all considering what guys like Watt and Bosa just got, nearly double.  We're paying Robby basically the same amount for way less production

This is honestly what I expect. The Saints land Watsons and Tepper panics and backs up the Brinks truck for Jameis Winston. 😆

I looked over this list before I pasted it. There are some good players still available. But, I don't know if any of them are worth blockbuster deals. Many of the most interesting ones/well known players are getting up there in or coming off of injury plagued seasons. There are some solid offensive lineman still available that could help our team. But,  I can't say I'll be surprised or even that disappointed if we don't make in huge splash in the FA market in 2022.

That's a lot of money for a LB.

It didn't take Reddick long to find a new home did it? He played well for us in 2021, but I don't know if he was worth $15 mil per season. I can't say I'm that torn up over this news.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
