okay, they win the division and go nowhere in the playoffs.  Meanwhile the rest of the division is getting younger and flush with cap money.  Again, this idea that they are contenders is crazy.  The only thing I can think of is they are letting these key defensive players in their prime play out their deals while keeping them in the thick of things.  They are trying their best to retool on the fly, but I don't see it working.

I am not worried about the Saints with Allen as the coach. They only become a worry if they get a legit head coach.

Make no mistake, they are still talented and their drafting has been pretty successful. I am not predicting they will stink until I see their drafting start tanking.

At some point they are going to have to blow it all up.  Why not now?  I get there's a staff trying to keep their jobs, but as an organization--GM, owners, they have to realize this is unsustainable.  Restructures are fine if BOTH parties agree, but it's going to be tough to get that many players to take a pay cut or push their money out several years.  If they are committed to that staff, they say "look, we have to clear our books and it will be a tough couple of years, but we will stick by you as we get though this."

Just depends on how long you can kick the can, and how much the cap goes up with the new TV deals.

End of the day, you still have to put butts in seats.

As far as pushing their money out several years, if you are talking about restructuring, the players get their money upfront. It becomes bonus instead of salary. Bonus can applied to future years cap over the entire length of the contract. Players aren't ever turning down being paid in advance.

Panthers plan at QB should be what it should have been in 2020

Stick with what you have unless you are getting a bonafide stud via trade.  Otherwise look to get a blue chip QB prospect in the draft.  If for some reason you are unable to get one, go with what you have and look forward to 2024.

Stop throwing money at stopgaps.  I want a franchise QB or I want to work on building a great team.  I like Carr actually and wouldn't be mad if we signed him. Way better than Darnold, Bridgewater, Mayfield, etc. But I don't know if it would be the most ideal scenario.

Was hoping they would cut him, and we could entertain him on a 2 year deal and still bring in a rookie...could at least be competitive in the division that way.

Whatever.

They will 100% cut him.  I'd be shocked if any team traded for him knowing how likely it is for him to be cut, unless they truly felt there was no way Carr would sign with them and wanted to secure his services. But while I like Carr, he isn't that good to be that desperate.

I wouldn't trade anything for Carr.  I wouldn't take him on $30 million a season.

However, I think he's a good QB.  I think he has at least two or three good years left in him.  How many times did the Raiders defense let this dude down?  It's obscene.  Over the last five seasons, the Raiders defense has ranked 26th, 26th, 30th, 24th and 32nd in points against.

The problem isn't Carr.  The problem is those guys don't have a single (*&$@ing clue how to play defense.

Any team out there to trade for him right now would have to be absolutely brain dead.  Unless you just have to have him, and don't want anybody else snooping around. Considering how much money hes set to make next year, and that the Raiders are going to be forced to cut him, its simple to just wait until hes cut then try to sign him.  Plus you don't have to give up any resources in the process.

      Yeah, Bryce has to put that a little deeper. But XL can't allow the pick there. Gotta become the DB when you're undercut like that.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
