Which i still don't understand.  If we considered him a franchise QB, I don't understand why we wouldn't fully guarantee those years.  But thats above my pay grade.

I think fully guaranteeing his previous contract would have made sense but the browns tacked on nearly 80m more AND fully guaranteed all of it.  I can get the reluctance.  However it wouldn't have shocked me if we had done that.

How does he mentor him? Mathieu and Woods would start, so where is Chinn going to play or are we again signing big deals for backups? This one doesn’t make sense to me unless Chinn is bulking up to be a LB and then Mathieu isn’t a mentor either. 

Id assume Chinn will play the monster back role in the defense. 2 linebackers with Chinn

He definitely didn't want to come here.

Remember when we heard Fitts wanted to talk to Cam before free agency? How does him knowing Watson come in? Does Cam want to come back to the Panthers to win the weakened NFCS? Remember what Cam said about standards last year. Aside from QB it seems Fitts has put things together in free agency for that last piece. QB1 we won't be without for long and if you ask me I'd rather have a FA QB that has played in the Superbowl, won Championships. The odds of that person doing it again is greater than anybody's next great QB.

Maybe he knew Cam may not be able to turn down an offer from the Panthers and his decision was not to step on big bro's toes.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
