Panthers to sign Miles Sanders

Exactly two days ago no one on this entire board would be calling Miles Sanders an elite RB or a target in free agency. 

Last offseason the Philly media wanted to move on from him becuase he was declining. Philly had an incredible year and Miles had a good year, but Miles didn't really improve as a pass catcher and there was a lot less attention on him with all of Philly's weapons.

As I said on page 2 or so of this thread, I like the signing and he can be a #1 back for us, but then when I saw the money, I thought we overpaid by quite a bit. 4/25 is a lot of money for someone like him. But hopefully there's an out after this year or next in case he doesn't live up to expectations.

I'm guessing we paid 20-30% above market value to get him to come here over stay in Philly

 

It's below spotrac's market value projection but a longer contract.

I don't believe they needed to outbid the eagles.

We are not near as good as philly's o-line

Which is elite enough to take the loss of

Sanders in stride.

Well, Foreman went to Chicago so moot point. I honestly think they just upgraded in losing Montgomery and getting Foreman so it will be interesting. If Fields can take the next step and play more consistent ball, the Bears could be a dark horse for the NFC North this year. Could be a dark horse to make noise in the NFC, period.

It's not terrible as long as he's healthy. But how many running backs stay healthy through all four years of a long contract at age 26? 

I wonder how much Elliot wants. He would be pretty damn good to pair up with Sanders. Much better than Chubba.

Y'all should check this out when you can.  Really fun. He's brings it more than I remembered as a blocker. Seems much more patient finding holes and is just sneaky with his cuts.

I would like to have gotten him cheaper, but I imagine his skillset fits better with what this offense is going to look like... which is the most exciting part.

Very reasonable contract for a 25 year old 1200 yard leading rusher. Being that we have an out after 2 years is huge with very low dead cap. Another smart signing and smarter structure
