Shaq is an average starting LB getting paid like a future HOFer. When you're way overpaid that gives you a lot of tolerance for bullshit.

for what its worth, Shaq has recently taken a massive paycuts in order to stay with the team. even if he's not Luke/TD tier, he still deserve some props for what he's done for the team

Currently 48th highest paid linebacker for this year. 114th for total contract.

Before the pay cut he was overpaid at #6 in 2022 at 13.5 million. Not exactly HOF linebacker numbers

Captain Shaq has always been criminally underappreciated.  Was really cool seeing him working out with DB, Bryce, and Chuba two weeks ago.

Excited to see him in a Panthers jersey for another season!

Yeah I think Luke, TD, Beason, and Morgan kind of spoiled us at LB play.

Linebacker, d-line, and running backs. The Panthers have always been strong at those positions. Not so much now. Secondary survived because they could pressure the QB only sending 4. Now, they have to bring everything but the kitchen sink just to make the QB move in the pocket. Good times.

      MLB Devin Lloyd for WR Jalen Coker??

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I'm not to sure it's a solid argument to try to estimate what he will do this season, BUT he's had a solid 3 years in the league. Here's his numbers compared to Jewell's for the same time period. I can see the logic of getting a starting MLB for a (at best) WR4. AT, XL and Tmac are certainly our top 3 guys IN 2025. Certainly worth pondering.

      Training camp just started and it's already starting... https://www.facebook.com/reel/24277303321904901/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v LOL No one believes you and you have fan pages sharing this with a "Play him or trade him" headline. Oh wee mayne. This is why no front offices wanted any part of this.

      MLB Devin Lloyd for WR Jalen Coker??

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Honestly, it only makes sense if you're trying to chase being the best bad team you can be this year. The number one question we need answered this season is whether or not Bryce is our long-term franchise QB. Trading away a second year WR who was second on the team in catch percentage, first in yards per target, and who clearly outplayed your 1st round pick for a likely one year rental fill in LB is exactly the type of short sighted desperation moves that has made us the worst franchise in the league under Tepper. We gotta stop making these types of moves and just focus on building a good organization and a good roster. Lloyd is a JAG LB another bad team and awful defense is wavering on and a couple of Panthers fans are salivating over him. Oof. We just need to be patient and wait. Definitely make some calls around the league to teams deep at LB and see if there's an opportunity to add one for a late round pick. Definitely shop the waiver wire hard. The reality is that LB is almost certainly going to be a weakness for us this year. We weren't fixing our entire roster in one off-season and we're not fixing an overall weak positional group in late July.  If you trade for Lloyd LB is still a weakness and you've given up a young promising WR who could potentially help you answer the question of whether or not Bryce is that guy. That's bad football business.
