If you had told me that we would sign a starting DL, a starting S, and a starting C for a combined $20m per year (rough average)-on the first day of tampering, I would not have believed you. 

I would have assumed something closer to $30m  (Bozeman about $9-11m, Bell about $10m, and Shy for about $7-8m

Foreman is still yet to be signed, which means we probably lowballed him a bit ($3-4m)--

Based off Sporttac and the reported contract’s we have a little over 7 mil left to sign people. That does not include any money saved from the Shaq restructure because I haven’t seen details on it.  Hopefully extend burns too to save a bit. Sign Campbell then Hurst/Geiski and let’s go get our QB

Not allowing the shaq money to be seen, thats smart....dont let the agent know how much is truly available...

I dont see how they could sign some top 4 TE, unless its some 7 year deal......

 

(i bet the agents know..)

Yea, I can not speak much on shy. I do like Bell as a player, high on him draft and hes been earning the starting spot for years. The numbers, tad high for my taste...speaking for a safety.....I think that was one of the parts of panthers they alway got right- dont pay safety(unless its minter)......bell is just like mint, leader and good person overall. 

Boze was the best signing of ANYONE today. 10/10 here.  

Plus I looked down at the failcons and what they gave to a safety, LOLLLlllllololollol. Glad they still dont have any DE/edge help, plus their WRs and RBs are panther-like too...

I have not figured out tampon bay signing dean while 55 million over the cap....

What about something like Corral and a 2024 4th or 5th round pick for Hopkins?

I'm guessing they're looking for a 3rd for Hop, but something like that could work and I think it would be totally worth it for us to do.

They might not want to pay for a FA QB if they think Kyler won't miss much time, could be an interesting trade as Corral at least would likely fit in the same offense they put together for Kyler.

I like the Broncos WR's via trade Sutton/Jeudy.

 

IF FA get OBJ for cheap 8mil a year deal. Or Allen Lazard on a similar deal.

 

Other than that I don't like this FA WR class.

OBJ isn’t coming for cheap. We need a solid WR and one via the draft. Meyers and Juju are young established slot WRs and we will have Marshall on the outside. Draft a WR like Tillman in the 3rd and we have a nice young core.

Hop is making like 30 mill. They need to eat a good chunk of that salary.

His Cap hit is 30, his salary is 19.5, which means he'd only be 19.5 towards our cap as the 30 includes the portion of his signing bonus.

Sign him to a 1-2 year extension at the same time and we can lower that cap hit by a decent amount and structure it in a way that it really doesn't hurt us in the future much either.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
