Franchise tag

If we have to franchise tag him, he's never playing another down for us again.

We couldn't come to an agreement with him this offseason, if he balls out and puts up 15+ sacks this year and is the best player on our defense and then we can't get an extension done by the franchise tag deadline, we never will.

And if he almost didn't play this year, he's not playing another season on a franchise tag.  If we have to tag him and don't trade him, he'll show up when he's forced to in week 10 or whenever.

If he plays out the year and plays great, we either make him the highest paid defensive player ever or will need to franchise tag and trade him, neither are really the most attractive options, needed to get a deal done before today.

get it done today and then start working on browns deal

I was about to post something similar. We need to lock in Brown before the DL market gets reset by another player. Burns and Brown get contracts and right now Chinn (unless he signs a reasonable one) and Horn will be the ones we replace.

I will be curious to see what the pff rating is on burns and chinn.  I bet its pretty high for burns but really not sure what i watched with chinn.  Same goes for luvu/shaq.  Not sure what the hell they were doing

Luvu had a bad game. Should have hit Bijan in the backfield on his TD, dropped an INT just off the top of my head. We would just need to allocate some of that cap for the OL. A weapon for Young and possibly extending some OL for example would be a start.

Burns should take the high road, play out his contract and tell the Panthers he wants to hit FA in the offseason.  Some of these monster contracts are coming back to bite teams in the arse.  Burns deserves to get paid more, but if the Panthers are balking considering how they feel about Brian, you have to think Burns' camp is asking for the moon.

Chinn played well… second in team tackles, and didn’t give up a reception. However, we will see how PFF grades it but… going back through the tape… chinn didn’t let a reception go to his man.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
