Fox leaves, does Jake follow?

The ultimate irony Fox goes to another team and signs Moore off his RFA tender. Any Given Sunday anyone?

But what would be awesome as well as funny as hell, if Foxs goes to another team and trades for Jake. He is probably the only coach in the league that would do it.

No one is going to trade for Jake and his guaranteed salaries for the next 3 years. And he likely isn't going anywhere. So folks can wonder and worry about whether Jake is going to play next year and continue to angst for the next 6 months. Should be good for 20-30 fear threads between now and training camp.

The advantage is a roster spot that is not wasted on a player with no prospects.

You really think that we can't offer one of 80 + roster spots to him going into the season given we will be including UFAs from no name schools, training camp fodder and nobodies. If you had said one of 53 roster spots at the end of the the preseason that is another issue and won't be resolved until August.

That logic makes no sense given what we have invested in him. What are you afraid of?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
