REPORT: Panthers interested in WR Darius Slayton

Giants gave him a 2 year $12 million dollar deal two years ago. So he will probably double that amount this offseason 

Eh....$12 mil isn't terrible but it's not great. Especially with a minimal amount of cap space.

I believe not signing anyone the first 3-4 days is the best path for Dan/Panthers/brad.

its simple supply demand. slayton is speed, all teams want it. not much proven NFL talent ava. 

I'd prefer to draft a speedy WR will the hope he could post slaytons weak stats.

I really liked taylor (LSU) at the combine.  I think he will be special.  And I think, if you had a meter that showed how much you improve with each player, a stud TE might move the needle more than a deep threat WR--just speculating

This is a crazy deep TE class. I am very reticent to take a guy that I don’t really believe is head and shoulders above the pack(Warren) at 8. 

I want a TE and Edge/DE in the top 60. Hence why I am so dead set on trading down. This seems like such a great draft to do so.

i know he is "game fast" but no way I'm touching that dude running a 4.51 40 at 155 pounds

Because he's quick and has great acceleration, but lacks top end speed. You don't send him out to run deep routes. He's a YAC guy on shorter routes.

Depends on price, IMO.

Yeah; that was before people started going on about his market value. Insanity. 
 

I figured he was a flyer deal type guy you pick up like week 4 of free agency.

Reports are he is in demand form several teams. He "talking" about winning and upside teams. 

12million per and at least 3 years??? *looks at career stats*, IM OUT. 

I just feel you could use a mid draft pick or even UDFA method. Panthers found Bryd and he still playing for 10ish years, he ran a rumored 4.2 during pro day. They are still out there, just got to find them.....(no hope with your piss poor scouts)

 

this guy is late round flyer https://www.nfl.com/prospects/jaylin-lane/32004c41-4e31-2554-c6a4-fc92e7409218

 

others are just like him. Pro day will show more too.

We can get a speedster for way less than what he wants. What would be the purpose of signing an overpriced veteran whose contract we'd be looking to get rid of in a years' time. I'd rather try an overpay to get an actual impactful WR 1 rather than throw that kinda money at Slayton who's contact would be the equivalent of miles sanders but at WR. 

Sign someone who's actually worth the price tag or let Coker and XL continue to get the reps and develop and take a flyer on a kid in the draft.

I dont trust that number, he slipped or something because as you say he has a cheat code video game speed when it matters.   And his 3 cone and 10 yard split times were outstanding

Dude is quick as hell and is running away from people.  The play at :34, 3:13, 4:01 sheeettttt

 

dude is 20 pounds lighter than Devonta Smith, like 150lbs soaking wet.

I want to reiterate what Basbear said--wait three or four days--do nothing in free agency, and let the prices and players fall.  I know you are not getting top end players, but you can upgrade positions.  I think a rookie GM (like Morgan last year) might go all in during the tampering period, but maybe he will be a bit more patient.

Having said that, I see Morgan going after a DE/DT, WR, and S.

    • Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way to efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.
    • There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.
    • Man even after 5-12 seasons they are able to produce hype videos.
