Interesting that Wonnum was doubled more than Burns.

Yeah, because he's not an every down player. From what I've read, he mainly plays passing downs. He's more of a specialist than anything at this point in his career.

I don't know why I'm arguing. This isn't like some shocking revelation. There's a reason the league wasn't in a bidding war for Wonnum and why he signed to the worst team in the NFL for a bargain contract.

There's also a reason why Brian Burns received pick compensation and a large contract.

I'll wait until the regular season for your eyes to open.

Yep! Leaving you in the dust!

Keep this same energy when we sign another pass rusher.

We can sign as many bottom of the barrel guys as you want. That's what I predicted we would do and we're doing it.

I said the Panthers are going to scrape the bottom of the barrel for EDGE players that other teams aren't signing. That's what we're doing.

Here, I'll post this again, not that I expect you to read it, again.

Vikings UFA profile: OLB D.J. Wonnum - Sports Illustrated Minnesota Vikings News, Analysis and More

The reality is that Wonnum is best suited as a team's third edge rusher, not an every-down starter. He has 23 sacks in four seasons, but many of them — especially prior to 2023 — came on plays where he was unblocked or was cleaning up a scrambling quarterback thanks to good coverage on the back end. Wonnum's PFF grade was a career-best 62.3 this season (60 is average) after three years in the 50s, and his pass rush win rates have never been particularly impressive.

Wasn’t this debate about replacing one pass rusher’s production (Burns) with Two guys. For far less money!?!?

yes it was! And Btw we covered that production with ONE guy. 
 

don’t try and spin it. The whole debate was HERE in this very thread!

No, we're not debating. You guys are trying to snipe me with dumb gotchas that don't add up to much.

I said we would sign multiple bottom of the barrel EDGE players to make up for losing Brian Burns and from that we would have a much poorer pass-rush next season, most likely.

You stated we could sign a 10 sack guy, named several, and that it wouldn't be difficult.

Quote

Barret, Clowney, Lawson, Hunter, Floyd, Smith

The only person on this list that's possible is Clowney and it's because he's had an up and down career where every other season he's barely produced. He's a good player that's probably looking for a multi-year contract, but at the risk to the team that signs him as he could have another down season.

Please stop wasting my time with your notifications.

Good god you're a drama queen... "wait until the regular season to open your eyes". Please. 

Burns' pass rush double-team rate was 14%, exactly what's on the chart even though that's only through Week 13, and since that's very clearly measuring pass rushing I can't even tell what you're trying to insinuate - they won't include run plays in that calculation. Wonnum was double on a higher percentage of passing plays than Burns... it is what it is.

Burns is not worth $30MM and needed to be somewhere else at that price, full stop. The defense might suffer a bit this year because of it but the team wasn't winning jack crap anyway. His overpriced contract isn't on the books and that's what needed to happen, as we're already seeing that money spread out across multiple positions. It will be up to improved drafting to continue the restock, as that is really what has left to cupboard bare.

Wonnum is a younger stopgap for a few years and maybe he blossoms under Evero kind of signing. Whom I assume had a good level of input. I very much doubt many people are under any illusions he's a direct Burns replacement.

Bandaid.

Yeah, whatever you have to tell yourself, however you have to make the numbers work in your mind, to equate Brian Burns with DJ Wonnum.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By BeenPounding · Posted

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
