Na'ill Diggs extended

[monstercat]

Damn, was hoping he was let go in order for Anderson/Connor to take the spotlight. He may be underrated everywhere else but here, but among Panther fans he is severely overrated.

Honestly, Connor hasn't really impressed me very much.

[Delhommey]

Solid player.

Then again we haven't seen that much of him on the field. I refuse to believe that it is because he is lacking the ability to excel at the position though.

You can never know when Foxy is running the team;

loyalty>ability to produce

I'm glad we extended, especially at that price tag. Diggs nothing but solid, and this doesn't mean we won't ease the younger guys into more and more playing time.

One of the most underrated guys on the team. When Diggs is the weakest LB you've got starting, thems good problems to have.

Nice move, glad he's sticking around.

Tyrell Sutton and Captain Munnerlynn beg to differ. Conner had a golden chance to show his stuff with all the injuries the Panthers had this year.

All around good move in my mind.

Actually makes him cheaper for the present and if he can actually play out the four extra years I would be stunned. As someone stated his basic MUST be near the vet minimum, so he cleary enjoys it here.

This kind of deal means someone still has the chance to take his place AND we keep Diggs in the process. Other than the impending Davis extension and Beason contracts, we must be dirt cheap at the position, allowing someone to move into the starting line up and allow Diggs to continue playing important roles in reserve.

Of course someone has to beat him out of the spot first, which is no mean feat.

anyone notice how little he has been seeing playtime the last few weeks? up until his injury he was seeing 45-50 plays per game but the last few it's only been about 15 or so.

i think it's a good thing that we are going to keep him around but it's looking like we don't need him as much as we used to. probably a good thing for him to keep him fresh and healthier.

i just noticed in the 2nd half of the giants game he didn't play at all. still hurting?

Diggs is a solid player who will be a solid backup if we can groom a replacement in the next season or two.

Sutton and Captain may beg to differ this year, but the past has shown us otherwise.

I don't know if he had a golden chance, but sure, he had the opportunity. James just proved to play lights-out later on as he got more comfortable at the spot.

I may be reaching here, and don't get me wrong I'm glad Anderson showed how effective he can be, but I can't shake the feeling that the only reason he took the most snaps from the start is because he has had a longer tenure here than Connor.

Hey, save that for King Taharqa!

no, anderson got the chance because the only position conner can play is MLB because he is slow as hell and has no lateral movement and should be traded to a 3-4 team.

diggs is one of the most underrated players on the team... glad to see the team recognizes his talents.
