A player like Mack will want to go where he can win a ring.  The Panthers do not need to use their cap contributing to retirement funds--they need to build a core.  I think the odds Mack comes to Charlotte are very unfavorable.

He is playing at a high level--PFF score of 90 last year, 7 sacks--but his production will soon start dropping--you are paying last year's rate for diminishing returns.  Not smart--but he is unlikely to come here--

In terms of building a core, you need to develop edge rushers for the future, hoping they make an immediate impact.  Most take 2 seasons of development before they reach their prime years.

Nothing in the article states that we have any interest in Mack, it is just speculation which would not be the first time that Mack has been speculated to the Panthers this offseason, it still wouldn't stop us from getting pass rush help in the draft which is LOADED from rounds 2 to 5 anyways in edge rush talent.

According to what I've read, any "talent" at edge outside of like three guys is highly speculative. So there may be guys there, but they're not exactly grading out as guys that can come in and make an immediate impact; It's more like any draft.

I dont think there is an edge player in this draft at all that is an immediate impact player, sure there will be situational dudes like Carter and walker but its going to take a minute if not all year for them to get really rolling.  Every blue moon you get a peppers, hutchinson, garrett etc that are beasts from the jump but they are rare

How are we in year 3 of a rookie qb contract that we traded a kings ransom for not in a "win now" mode?

Being in year 3 of a rookie contract doesn’t mean you’re in a win mode, having a team that is one or two players away from contention does that.

we’re nowhere close to only needing one or two players to give us a shot at contending.

you don’t sign a 34 year old Mack unless that’s what you think you are, we are not that right now, it’s pretty simple

It would have to be a Clowney type situation where the contract is very reasonable. Otherwise it doesn't make much sense for this team to be pursuing guys in the mid-30s. We need legit building blocks not bandaids on their last legs. These types of guys generally sign for contenders because the goals align. The contender wants a boost to get over the hump and the aging vet wants a chance at a ring and a stable organization, he's done with all the BS and drama.

Putting vets on your team doesn't stop you from getting developmental prospects. If anything it helps enable it.

 

I'd be hard pressed to find a complaint for a character Mack in the locker room as long as we still start building for the future.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
