As most know, NFL teams have become very resistant to being featured on Hard Knocks. So... in steps Belichick and UNC.

Massive free outreach to recruits. The reason NFL teams hate it is because there's no competitive advantage. That's not the case in college football.

That was my first thought.  Show your facilities, processes, etc. Free commercial.  How many players might transfer seeking publicity now?  He might get 2-3 new transfers.  High schoolers get their first peek into a program to see what it is like, and if they like it, they will want to go there.  The players become famous and when you are recruited, they greet you or they partner with you for the weekend.  The recruits already know them...little things make a huge difference.

Milton Williams (Eagles) DT free agent

Panthers rumored to be targeting the 25 year old DL in free agency

I’m a little uneasy paying through the nose for another Eagles FA who likely will not be nearly as effective outside of the Eagles DL like Sanders was ineffective away from the Philly OL/offense.

I glad they are approaching this draft is that way!! LOLOLOLO just beyond Stoopid.....errraaa I mean brilliant please keep it up failcons!!!

Maybe next year they will fully ignore defense!!! Jesus....

I’m all for it as well. Stupid strategy, period. It reminds me of Hurney/Fitterer and their tendency to fall for certain people like Little and Grier or Corral and DJ Johnson and ignoring people who drop to great value like Crosby or Trey Smith.

If the Falcons have offensive blinders on, that’s awesome and maybe drops some BPA guys to us, especially day 3.

I don't let isolated cases determine present or future decisions, but Sanders benefited from that OL for sure--I said it LOUDLY at the time of the STUPID signing.   However, he would have Derrick Brown here at one DE and he would be the other, sending Robinson to a reserve role.  Signing him would still necessitate the need for a NT, but if we prioritize that, The DL would be pretty impressive here.  At 25, his salary is projected to be $15-20m.  We get a young, experienced, successful DT with a 70 PFF rating at a cost less than our guards cost us last year--each.  I see that Morgan has identified IDL as the biggest need on the team, so if last season was any indicator, he will throw money at DL early.  The Eagles probably can't re-sign Williams, so he is going to be one of the most desirable free agent DLinemen.   I think Morgan will address DE or NT and S in free agency as priorities. 

Not saying you are wrong, just saying that 1. I think Williams would not feel much of a drop off with Brown and stud NT.  and 2. Expect Morgan to splash at S and DL.

Let's see how it turns out--but if Williams' demands are too high, you might be right.

Deebo--the reason he cost a fifth and not higher:  he is in the last year of his contract and Washington will take on his salary (not sure how much--$17-21m range).  That does not compare to Mingo at all because every situation is different. 

Criticism: Deebo has been criticized for being washed up (only 670 yards, 3 TDs in 2024). They say he is aging more like a RB than a WR the way he is used.  RBs have a shorter life span. Some say he is 20 lbs overweight.

PFF score in 2024 was a very respectable 70.9.

This is good for Washington because they have cap room and they get 1 year to see what they want to do with him--Deebo is 29.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
