Panthers sign pass rushing DE to replace Haason Reddick


Recommended Posts

Meanwhile Tampa picks up Hicks. I’ll never understand this front office sometimes. Ok, ya lost out on Watson, you’ve got this cap sitting around and Hicks took a 1 year deal, why not offer him a bit more money? Cool to know we’re content with sitting on money.

 

Disappointing.

They paid him 10 million. We need depth, I believe the hope is  that Gross-Matos gets his shot to prove he can be a starter for us. We need a vet depth piece that’s solid against the run

You are aware that Hicks may simply not want to come to Carolina, right?

Hicks is a vet piece that’s elite against the run. If we’re sitting on 25 million, we should be open to spending to improve weaknesses. Like run defense.

Plenty aware, but you’re gonna tell me we couldn’t sweeten the pot a LITTLE more than they did? We’re gonna have fun on the inside with him and Vita.


Super amped we were able to secure the Drew Jordan though..

The players have to want to play here too my guy. It’s not just QBs telling us thanks but no thanks.

Sometimes it isn't always about the money. Some of these guys will take a little less to play on a winning team that has a shot at a ring. The Panthers best shot at a Super Bowl ring for the next few years is probably going to be getting a replica on eBay.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
