Oh boy, here we go throwing money away again.  Dunlap will not put this team defense on his back and turn it into an elite unit.  At this point the 2022 Panthers are what they are. Adding older, more expensive pieces here or there is just eating up more rollover cap money for next year.  Rhule will never learn.

This would make sense on a bunch of levels!! Rather he started or came off the bench, he would help Burns and Gross in the defensive end room. The other pass rushers are more only linebackers only  but his wisdom would be welcomed.

Productive veteran player that you can get for a year for cheap.  He’s not expected to come in and play every down, but moreso to provide depth.  How anyone could see this is a negative is beyond me

Great defenses always add veteran pieces who can still perform at a high level.  This team especially needs vets for the locker room.  Dunlap would be a great addition and fill a huge need for us.  Plus - he can drop into coverage and play the run.  Dude had 7 sacks in his final 5 games last season once his playing time increased.

Let's see the contract numbers and then I'll tell you if it's a positive or negative.  Again, this roster is 99% built.  So unless we find an elite level QB somewhere, adding a piece here or there isn't going to move the needle much at all and just digging us in a deeper cap hole for next year.

It's not about putting the defense on his back. We literally lack pass rushers. TBH, Dunlap would probably be our best all-around DE if he signed with us. 

I don't want to see a long term or high priced deal but he would immediately make our defense better.

      XL about to turn the corner

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
