Haynes basically plays stand up edge/OLB in odd fronts. He won't really be used like Fox (That more YGM's role).  I see him replacing Luvu on passing downs as a rotational piece. We will see how much he plays depending on who else we can bring in and if we trade away any other players (ie-Burns). Its a good signing IMO.

I think you're right. I'll take YGM over Fox any day of the week.

I've always liked him. Reminds me of a smaller Mario Addison. All motor.

Mario Addison was a poor man's edge rusher.  Haynes is a poor man's Mario Addison.  So he's a poor man's--->poor man's edge rusher.  Major score!  Fug this front office.

Lol. He signed a contract to be a rotational player. He is a good rotational player.

He should have been gone was my point.  You hang on to a Mario Addison, You don't hang on to a Marquis Haynes. Great, we scored a DE 4 or DE 5.  Break out the bubbly!!!

I mean....we can't get rid of everyone. It's not like we have other guys to replace him, money to spend replacing him or draft picks to spend replacing him.

I mean, we could have used Ian Thomas' money.  That's my main gripe, the players we hang on to makes little sense and the money we paid them can collectively go towards at least a  marginal upgrade.  I've been trying to kick both of these guys to the curb for at least two years now and what does Rhule/co do? Hand out new contracts, the LAST THING I would have done.

Yeah, I get it. Haynes is not a bad contract, IMO. 

There are so many worse than that, unfortunately.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
