Seriously?!?!

We're giving $13 million guaranteed to a DT nobody has heard of right off the bat in FA?!?!?

Good thing we don't have more important holes out there like WR, TE, CB, DE, LB

You're right, now how am I gonna spend 18 weeks complaining about how bad our run defense is???

We have Derrick Brown!! just leave him as a tweener that won't hurt his development.

Pretty sure he has them both at LB spots in that post. Brown at NT; Tuttle and YGM starting DEs. Then Burns and Luvu as edge rushers at LB

That’s where I have them listed. Just showing how I think the front looks with those two at OLB

I don't think Derrick Brown goes to nose.

I expect him to be one of the DEs

Not directed at you personally,, but because guys on The Huddle don’t know him makes everyone shake their head …. Come on,, Let’s let this coaching staff ( it’s not Matt Rhule ) do it’s job at evaluating talent,, not the Huddle

Has literally nothing to do with the player himself.  But he's a run stuffing big man DT, you can find them in the draft or on cheaper contracts later in FA.

It's more that we have limited FA budget and have other positions of need that we need to land some more impactful players.  I'd just rather not open FA by putting part of that cap space towards a guy we could easily have found a similar level replacement for down the line.

Having 2 talented run stuffing DEs in a 3-4 helps the entire defense.  We are freeing up our (mostly undersized for the 3-4 linebackers), freeing up our edge rushers (Burns, Luvu, Barno) which will in return make QBs get the ball away quicker giving the CBs less time to have to maintain coverage.  These are the underrated guys we need for our defense to thrive and I think our Evero knows this.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
