There are quite a few Centers in free agency and C is pretty deep in the draft.  I think he will be signed for about $9m per by Friday. 

I haven't checked on the available centers. Do you know if there is one available in free agency that is good as Bozeman?

I really hope we don't fug around trying to lowball him by a couple million and end up having him get jacked by another team. Missing a C is one of the worst spots to be missing on the OL in terms of on-field impact (not accounting for scarcity/replaceability) and we have a guard coming off a torn ACL; it wouldn't be shocking if Corbett struggled some early in the year just from rust caused by that long rehab period. If we have no C and have Corbett struggling it could lead to a lot of interior pressure which is the worst place to get pressured from (ask Tom) and could easily end up rattling a young QB's confidence especially when you factor in the state of our WR core.

Did Bozeman ever really excel at pass blocking though?  I know he is great at run blocking.

I wouldn't say excel but he doesn't really get beaten by a drum either, at least not from what I saw. That is a good point though that I hadn't considered. But the big thing that Bozeman has over Elfein from my POV is that it seems to me like he calls better protections at the LOS (way less free runners coming through it felt like when he was on the field vs Pat) and that he snaps the ball better. Much less botched/high snaps it seemed to me when he was under center.

I think he was ranked 26th in pass pro

This stat isn't the be all end all of course (interestingly enough he doesn't even appear on the chart for run block win rate which I was not expecting) but I'd be interested to see where you saw 26th. I dunno. From what I watched I don't really feel he was a bad pass blocker, but not really a great one either.

I would take Garrett Bradbury (28) from Minnesota over Bozeman, but Bozeman did play well for about a half season or so for us.  A former first rounder who had a decent season last year (injured late).  I think it is interesting that Pocic (Cleveland) also 28, just signed a three year, $18m deal--$6m per and he is rated higher than Bozeman. Going by that, the Panthers probably offered him $6 and he wanted $10-he is probably getting $6m.

I don’t pick and choose the facts that make me most comfortable like you’re doing. 
 

Facts

Sources have expressed Panthers would like Boze to return. 
 

Sources have mentioned Boze would like to stay. 
 

The Bozemans appear to have a home in Nashville. 
 

Tennessee released their starting center.

Fitterer has said we can’t resign everyone. 

Despite having plenty of time to get a deal done prior to FA, there is no deal in place. 

First, I noticed you deleted your first response.  

Second,  Bozeman is signed. 

So obviously,  I didn't pick and choose.  

I stated the 2 strongest facts that supported the suggestion to stay calm, he's getting signed. 

Thanks for playing.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
