I've seen lower suggestions than that.

Not sure how it ultimately shakes out but yeah, it's looking like a pretty big whiff.

If they cant get a 2nd for him, I would just keep him and play him until Purdy is healthy. Maybe his stock can go up some....

Regarding Purdy...

That possibility makes some analysts think the 49ers are more likely to hang on to Lance.

If they were to part ways with him with Purdy still injured and Sam Darnold being the only other option though, yikes 😬

Yeah....with that news, no way they let Lance go for cheap.

Just saw an interview with Jalen Carter about the terrible situation that he was at least involved with where 2 people lost their lives. He said teams will probably take that against him.  He said absolutely nothing about the victims or anything about the situation.  He had Drew Rosenhaus sitting right beside him.  I just wouldn’t touch this dude in this draft.  He is out of touch with reality

The talk was Atlanta at #8, but I imagine there was more press than here about this situation there.

That's your reason. Why would he talk about the accident?

 

He's trying to get drafted. This is why you hire an agent. They keep it about football.

 

 

My point was he needed to be that closely monitored by his agent even in an interview.  That doesn’t feel right to me

I agree it sucks he didn't mention it, but that's not why they are interviewing him so I can see both sides.

He said that he wanted to tell his side.  However, if you are interviewing a player involved in this horrible event sitting on his couch before the draft, the issue is character.  His agent on the couch was not there for cosmetics--he knows he has a delicate situation and did not want his client to be compromised by a reporter--but the risk of his character being damaged was real and the comment Shocker makes is a fair one.  However, I can say that any comment he makes could probably be used against him--so any good lawyer would advise him to not discuss the victims.  You have to imagine the tape being played in court--"I feel so badly for the people who died." The jury could equate that with guilt or responsibility--I have not been keeping up with the details, so I am just speculating.

Drew Rosenhause has been in a lot of interviews with his clients. I think you're reading too much into it. He's a kid and was probably scared of the spotlight.

 

That is fair…I understand the legal implications.  Why are we here though?  He has had serious questions about character outside of this incident.  I hope he succeeds but I wouldn’t pick him, too many red flags

He's still rated as a top 3 prospect in the draft. Some team will take him my bet is Philly.

 

He cost himself a few extra mil though he was going to be the 1st defensive player off the board before the accident.

 

Brandon Miller from Alabama had a similar situation. I don't remember him doing a public interview. These are kids at the end of the day. At that age I would be scared to talk in public as well.

You could be right but my tolerance for spending a top 10 pick on a guy with these red flags is much lower than yours.  The guy is a super talent but could be a huge headache

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
