Yannick makes sense from a history with Reich and Wash, but doesn't seem like the type of EDGE we're looking to sign. Replicates what Burns does quite a bit. 

What does that last part mean?

Both Burns and Reddick are "speed" rushers

Frank Reich knows this guy and will make the prudent decision.  Looks great on paper but we have intel on this dude.

I think Floyd signed with the Bills BTW

I was hoping the Panthers would sign Floyd but sadly they didn't.

Fast for their position? Not s much a power guy but a speed and explosive quickness guy.

God I miss the days of Julius Peppers. A power fast speed explosive strength freak rusher guy.

Let out young edge guys develop and save the money for a difference maker when this team is ready for a real run.  No need to get all bothered about not knowing the answer on the other side this year.

I kind of feel like we are more or less in “win now” mode. It just happens to be by a different name “do everything we can to support the rookie QB and make sure next years draft pick is in the 20s and we look smart”

The Panthers window opens next year, not this IMO.  It opens wider if we don't spend money on so so players and develop the young options we have.

And as great as Reddick has been when he was here we got absolutely run over on the ground. Of course I'd take Reddick back, esp. in a 3-4 but there's something to be said for having a balance of skills along the DL/pass rush. A big reason why our D was so dominant in 2013 was CJ and Hardy being elite top 5-10 all around DEs who excelled against the pass and the run. That and Luke and TD being absolute monsters and Star eating space but you do need guys who can set the edge against the run and Burns is notably not good at that.

That was some good times.
