Evans wants to play with an "elite QB"

[Waldo]

This team will be ruthlessly used to up FA's prices with other teams this year...if their agents are smart. 

Why would you overpay someone who doesn't want to win? And yes that is what coming here would mean. It's lose-lose on the top tier guys. They should be targeting guys who need to prove themselves or need playing time or both. The top shelf guys are a waste of time.

He settled for Baker Mayfield lol

Money talks

Again, players do not care about winning when it comes to free agency. they want guaranteed money and comfort. Evans could have gone to the Chiefs if he really wanted to win,  but guess what, he just wanted to stay in Tampa and get the bag

one thing nice about the 2343294 former athlete podcasts that are all over the place.  They talk about stuff.  The would you have rather have a ring or get paid X.  Almost all these dudes are taking the cash. 

I mean, unless you are legitimately chasing all time positioning in books of NFL history.....most are just taking the biggest check.

Dude literally won the MVP in back-to-back seasons 2 years ago...then 1 season and an injury 

So 3 seasons ago he was elite? I just said that.

Clearly I was joking, but you may need some math help.  3 seasons ago was 2021.....he won the MVP....only 2 seasons have happened since was back to back MVP.

Did you not read about the part of using the Panthers to get a better deal with other teams? They can still get paid and not be on a 2 win team.

No Evans. No Higgins.

 

What's the backup plan?

It was always going to be draft for us. It might now be what some of us want but it's the only path due to decisions that have already been made.

2 years @ $52M makes Baker Mayfield suddenly elite.

I think baker is a FA. That means he settled for a team with no starting WB.

I mean thats a name and hed be closer to home. Injury history, but who else is willing and talented? I swear the panthers need 5 WRs and 2 PS future guys. Adam is 34 and mingo is still learning.
