It’s not going to be cheap to retain Derrick Big Baby Brown

[TheBigKat]

 

yes Williams is the better DT but if Brown carry’s on his disruptive campaign like he did last year (he’s going to feast in this Defense) then the Panthers will be handing this young man a large contract

I wish we had been better positioned to capitalize on Brown's and Burn's rookie contracts. Because yeah, they're gonna be expensive moving forward.

Easier to pay them both now when we have a rookie franchise QB so that we are not having to pay 50+ million per season plus others like Burns and Brown

Oh for sure. A legit franchise QB on a rookie contract is the best roster asset in the NFL. There's not even a close second.

There was an obvious way to capitalize on Burns and it rhymes with laid with the dams

He was never going to be cheap

If he doesn’t hike the QB hits/sacks, I don’t think he’ll be as expensive as people think. Bozeman was going to cost us upwards of 12M per year according to many in here, but he got half that. Brown is solid but in 3 of Williams 4 years he’s had as many sacks in each year as Brown has in his 3 year career. Heck Williams more than doubled Brown’s career sack total last year.

I may be wrong but I see Brown as a $15M a year guy. Also, we’ve got Brown for two more years with the 5th year option.

[FuFuLamePoo]

Williams had twice the number of sacks that Brown did last year... for his entire career. Q dub is galaxies away from 95

[stratocatter]

I wonder if he will thrive in the 3-4. Might make him a lot or cost him a lot, depending on how that goes.

I expect him to blow up in a big way this year. 

What do I know.

Big baby?

Brown's lack of sacks should help keep the price down relative to guys like Quinnen. Brown has 6 career sacks through 3 seasons, Quinnen has 27.5 through 4. I don't think we'll have any issues keeping him for good value compared to what he provides on the field because of the lack of those flashy stats. Quinnen isn't a comparable at all.

[Call Me James]

When you make those types of picks you expect them to be expensive to resign if they work out.

the only issue I really see is when we drafted brown we thought we were just a couple picks away from being special.

 

sucks that timeline didn’t work out.

[SOJA]

He won't get that much money but he is going to get paid. This will be a big year for him. A legit pass rushing DT is critical to success in today's league so I'm fine with paying him if he continues to improve.
