Hassan Reddick/Justin Houston

[Jmac]

Reddick is 28....Houston is 34. They let Houston walk and then found themselves with out an edge rusher besides Burns. Hoping they had a guy in camp that can do the job. 

Looks like they weren't confident enough to start the season with whom they have. Houston had a good season last year so we shall see. He is long in the tooth, but for one or two years he could fill the void.

They have to get the guy in the next draft somehow to groom for the job.

Reddick was too much. Move on.

Reddick cost too much and he wanted to go to Philly to contend and fulfill his own goals of playing for the Eagles. Plus he wasn't exactly thrilled to be here based on some of his own remarks about things leading up to the conclusion of his season here. We gotta move on and stop acting like we had a real shot. Things have worked out for both parties.

[Ricky Spanish]

Rhule prioritized getting Watson over keeping Reddick so he went to philly (One of many reasons we didn't keep him). Time to move on.

Nah we 100% dont need a guy like Reddick on the team. An elite 3-4 edge rusher. No room for him here.

Folks tend to forget that the player is half of the scenerio. They chose where they want. Reddick went home to play and got away from a bad team.

Nobody anywhere in this thread said they didn’t want him. They simply explained why it was unrealistic we could have retained him. Stop with the dramatics.

Fair enough

He definitely made the right choice getting out from under Rhule. If that same scenario happened with our current staff you'd have an argument

Riddick not only went home, but to a true Superbowl contender. Not to mention the pile of cash he made doing it. 

Not sure why so many wear blinders,  and March out their skewed perspective expecting anyone with a brain to just fall in line.

The guy that just had 16 sacks and was an all pro is too much but we are going to pay Burns more than he makes...

I know he wanted to go play in Philly, say that instead of saying he cost too much when we are going to break the bank for a guy who has never had more than 12.5

Perspective is a hell of a thing. 

Riddick was nothing but a rental.  Somewhere you missed that memo. 

Our front offense wasn't going to pay him when he was never a corner stone of this defense. 

Burns is so much more than just a pass rusher, but that all many want to focus on as he's going to get fair market value for his position,  production,  and leadership on this team.

Things have not worked out for the panthers who continued on their dysfunctional circus and losing team. Will things turn around? We will see but let’s not be delusional. Reddick wanted to win, compete, and saw a dumpster fire like Rhule coming a mile away.

Burns is literally just a pass rusher. You can site his leadership, but his main on field contribution is pass rushing. 

I know Reddick was a one year rental, but lets not lie about why he wasnt retained. He is on a 3 year 45m contract and we are going to give Burns something like 5 years 140m.
