brayton re-signed

[scpanther22]

The only other player we MIGHT re-sign is Lewis, who was cut at least partially for cap reasons. But I don't think we have any interest in him.

We actually tried to re-sign Brayton.

I hope not.I think we need to move on from lewis.

[chbright]

starter for sure. guy was the most consistant DL we had last year. not going to wow anyone getting to the qb, but has always been top notch against the run. his versitility to kick inside is a bonus with the release of lewis.

still concerned about the interior DL, warm bodies dont equal tallent.

[pantherclaw]

I'm not sure how much starting time he'll get. But I do know he will be apart of the rotation. He certainly filled the need he was signed for.

[rayzor]

but, but i thought we let go of average depth that could be easily replaced?? why bring him back? i thought we were going younger with the master plan?

we replaced him with him.

Finally a sign of some sanity.

Good. I wouldn't say I love Tyler Brayton just yet, but he seems to have found his home here in Carolina.

[MrBubba]

Brayton and Johnson will likely start at the beg of the season. Bring in Brown on passign downs and rotation.

If Brown continues to get better, he may unseat Brayton by the end of the season.

Heck, if we get any injuries at DT(but that never happens); Brayton may have to move inside and start Brown anyway.

A good move, and this is exactly the kind of FA signing we should expect this season: solid and reliable--but not neccesarily outstanding--vets with high motors and good work ethics. And also not too expensive. Fox likes to keep talented youngsters motivated by veteran examples, but it looks like he's working under a much tighter budget this season. I hope Moose and the team can work out a 1 or 2 year retirement deal, but my gut says maybe not.

That's good to know I wonder if we might bring someone else back?

Who would start over Brayton? He's the most complete and proven defensive end we've got. That's not to say he's got the most potential. Personally, I think Johnson is ready to do big things and Brown very well may, but for now Brayton has shown more than both of these two.

I think our starting ends on opening day will be Johnson and Brayton, barring us drafting the defensive equivalent of a Jeff Otah who can come in on day one and be a difference-maker.

Man, its going to be strange going to Training camp and watching these 2 guys starting and no Peppers there.

[Baschski]

Neato, Gang!

[Captroop]

Good pickup. He is more than serviceable, wants to be here, and kneed Jeremy Stevens in the nuts.

There is no reason to not bring moose back if he will take a 1 year vet minimum contract. With little or no guaranteed money you are taking no risk. If you cut him before the season starts you are out nothing. If we draft someone who is like Jarrett and not ready for prime time we have great insurance. His leadership and continued mentoring of Jarrett is worth the vet minimum alone. I wouldn't be surprised if we do that after the draft if we don't get who we want or no one better is released.
