Donte Jackson to(o) valuable to trade away

He should’ve been regarded as a backup this season coming off the injury, allowing him to stay in game shape, still contribute, while not putting such a big workload on him, as you anticipated getting him back to full strength next season. 
 

His game is centered around being a quick twitch guy and with that asset diminished he was always going to struggle this season. Genuinely befuddling how they were so sure he was going to simply pick up where he left off.

Our CB #1 is made of glass that's been soaking in dry ice. I kindly agree that Donte is at an extremely valuable intersection of performance and affordability for a rebuilding team. We can neither afford to get worse, nor more expensive in the secondary.

Donte has been about as injury prone as Horn.  And hasn’t been nearly as good when has even been on the field.

Yeah he is an absolute moron a might be worse than even I thought. 

 I was praying they’d trade him a couple years ago at the deadline but instead held onto him then gave him a new contract smh

This defense is trash as a whole and the money we’re spending on Jackson could be put to a lot better use in terms of helping Young’s development

Yeah at least when Jaycee’s on the field he’s a legit shutdown travel corner. Those are rare. Donte is someone you should be able to replace through the draft

He is so blah at best. He is the type of player you trade before his first big contract and never look back. Now he is their reliable CB. Just lol. Friterer is such a loser.

The point is that the potential return on Donte wouldn't be worth the loss. Don't be obtuse. Saving $1 million in cap space to get back something like a 6th round pick when we have zero cb depth as is would be an absurd decision. 

If it were only 1 mil sure.

but we’re talking 10-15 mil.

which ain’t worth holding onto a mid CB for that

10 mil in cap plus a 6th would be absurd to turn down for Donte.

    • I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo. 
    • Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
