Clowney is a more realistic option. Dude is 30, never really lived up to the hype, past his prime, but still very much serviceable, so he could be somewhat cheap. Great against the run, seems to do better in a 3-4 defense, but can put his hand in the ground if needed. Plus, he's from Rock Hill, so playing close to home could be ideal if he's thinking retirement in the next few years.

I genuinely think at this point in time we don't sign another Edge rusher unless/until after Week 1 b/c salaries aren't guaranteed at that point (only pay per week).

Things can change, but as of now, I think the plan is to have Burns and then see who shakes out/ Evero will scheme around the opposite side.

I think Marquis Haynes is the 1st guy to get that chance, and Haynes has proven he can produce in limited reps.  Hope he's back from injury soon.

I'm still open on the idea of Clowney, but consistent effort and the amount of money he's going to want could preclude it.  Would be fun to have him back in Carolina.

I really wish the NFL would come up with some sort of stat that is basically a sack but for reasons run plays. Some people actually think this guy is good because they just look at sacks

It's existed for years. TFL (tackle for loss).

Stat category has been recorded since 1999. Terrell Suggs is the career leader. JJ Watt and  Julius Peppers round out the top 3.

    • From Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/nutshellsportz.bsky.social/post/3mo3rkrcezs2e  A look at Run Threat Rate across the NFL Run Threat Rate is the percentage of plays where a team either runs the ball or uses play action. This compares each team’s rate when leading or tied versus when trailing to show how much they abandon the run when playing from behind.
    • That's the current dilemma on both parties at the moment. If Ickey comes back too soon, he won't be 100% and his play will suffer. Leading to a potential decrease in his contract. If Ickey is unable to play and sits the entire 2026 season, his contract will still take the same hit since it tells all 32 team that he is not fully recovered. On the Panthers side, I'm sure they would want to keep Ickey if he is fully recovered but he is obviously in a contract year. They don't want to re-sign him to a massive deal since it be too risky and they know if Ickey is able to return to form.  Best case scenario, the Panthers wants to offer Ickey a 1-2 year heavily incentive based prove it deal. However, Ickey would most likely decline the offer and test the market as  another team can come in and offer Ickey a better deal if they are desperate enough for O-line help.
    • They have been giving him a lot of snaps at RT to give TMo some relief in camp. I think that will continue for the time being.
