Panthers extend defensive tackle Derrick Brown

My take on Luvu was that he was a bit slow to read (2 gap) and liked to shoot a gap.  Not a bad player, but he was a bit overrated by Panther fans because he flew in under the radar.  However, I would have kept him, but tough choices had to be made.  to me, not re-signing him tells me that we are going after a LB in the draft--Even if we signed jewell.

Probably more about scheme fit than anything else. He played better IMO in 4-3 the prior year as SLB. Not sure if that’s the reason he seemed slow last season or not. Could explain why the Panthers let him walk.

This is just going off what spottrac shows.  Trusting it’s right 

That’s def not updated, it has nothing on the books for Brown in 2025 yet. Usually they’ll backload a deal like this with bonuses and lower the 2024 cap hit around $5m, but not sure if that’s Morgan’s style

Has the yearly structure come out yet? I'd be surprised if they didn't defer some of the hit to future years.

Also, there's always Taylor Moton's contract sitting out there, waiting to be extended/restructured.

I’m working in my studio so only have my iphone and broke twitter but this is the most details i’ve seen. Doesn’t mention the actual cap hit this year after bonus money etc

I was unimpressed with him his rookie season and even his 2nd season. I honestly thought he was a bust. Then he just turned it on and made me look foolish. Which is fine by me. 

He always looked the part and consistently improved every season. That's all you can expect

Teams were well aware of DB then and thet figured out early on who they had to make damn sure to block.

That's fine. I didn't like him initially and thought he was a waste of a draft pick. I was proven wrong. Which is fine by me

Burns was never a star. He thought he was a star but he was the only one. 

The team’s media and fair weather fans turned him into a star when he wasn’t. Both have a really bad habit of doing that with this team.

OK, but when have we ever shown the desire to keep our own drafted talent? It's just a weird message to attach to this after trading away CMC, DJ Moore, Burns, Donte Jackson and letting YGM and Jeremy Chinn walk. I guess we still have Ian Thomas lol!

CMC and DJ got traded but they got paid before they did. 

Burns wanted way too much for what he brings to a team.

Jackson was barely more than a JAG at his best. 

Chinn was out of place in our D and ygm....really??  

We have kept plenty of guys over the years, I wouldnt really put too much into the Fitt bullshit, he was one of the worst GM the NFL has ever seen.

    • It's amazing how much yall can say the same things over and over and not annoy yourselves with it.
    • If you only look at measurables, Mingo and Legette might seem similar.  But when you actually look at them and watch them play, they aren't close to the same.   And this is coming from someone who is skeptical about Legette, although ultimately I believe he will work out.  I've just always disagreed with the comparisons to Mingo.   Mingo tests better than he plays/runs, whereas Legette plays/runs as well as he tests.  
    • As bad as things were with the Panthers last year, we still had 4 other games outside of the 2 we won that we came very close to winning.  Could throw the Falcons game in there too, it was tied going into the 4th. I'm not really sure what to expect this year.  I don't think we'll make the playoffs.  However, we play in a very weak division where no team has a standout QB.  On paper, our OL should be good, and could be great if Ikem improves.  That alone could help mask a lot of problems on offense.  Should allow us to run the ball better.  Even if Bryce doesn't improve, the OL should at the very least give him more time to make the easy throws underneath and let a guy like Legette work his magic after the catch. And I think this defense in a 2nd year with Evero should, at the very least, be in the top 16.  I'm expecting our run defense to be as good as it has been in years. I think this team could push for 7-8 wins.  But it could also finish with 2 wins again.  That is just how the league works.  Jets offense was miserable last year, and yet they still won 7 games.   We won't really get a good feel of it until after the preseason, and even then, who knows.
