Clock is ticking loudly for Bozeman. If we lose him after trading DJ we are really putting ourselves in a hole to try to build an offense around this QB we're going to draft.

I'd rather keep Bozeman but that's a potential link to watch if for whatever reason we don't

That guarantees us a 2-15 season.

With what money? They also need to make room for the rookie salaries. Some cuts will have to be made somewhere. 

And he did not mention WR.

No shock here...

 

We lead the league every year in dead cap money though--we have that.

Any idea what Foster Moreau will get on the FA market? Josh Norris intrigued me with his thoughts on him and spent the last hour checking him out. 

26 years old, put up 5 TDs his rookie year and was behind Waller in Vegas. I wonder if he can be a TE1 here in Reich's system. Seems like a balanced TE that can block as well as be a threat as a receiver. 

Can he be had on a reasonable deal and let others spend big on Schultz and Geisicki.

I have been eyeballing him for about 2 weeks now. Spotrac estimates his salary around $9m, but they are off a lot--I think $5-7 gets him because the TE market in the draft is so deep.

They are still working on a deal but were very far apart in the beginning. Panthers chose not to franchise tag him because they do not believe his market value is what his representatives are claiming (Appx. 16 million/yr) which was right at the value of the franchise tag. Panthers feel he is more in the 8-9 million/yr range. It is a good possibility that they keep Elflein-which is why he has not been released yet.

Have to let him walk if that’s truly what he and his representatives are asking. 
 

The difference in Boze and Elf at center is not worth $10mil more per year.

Seems to be a Fitterer MO. Similar to Hurney’s terrible contract extensions.

I hope it doesn’t come down to paying Bozeman or Burns. We can afford both…maybe?
