Are we out?  Or he just doesn’t prefer us?

I feels like it’s over. Only hope is Gantts post, he either knows something or is just pumped for all the news to break league wide.

DK a Steeler

That’s a lot of money.

He is good, but he isn’t that good.

A deep passing attack is more about the offensive line and WRs, but yea make it about Bryce. 

You won't find a bigger Bryce fan than me. I wasn't knocking him.

Steelers gave up a 2nd that sealed the deal. Would've loved to have Dk but smart move by Dan and Brant to not overpay.

Huge missed opportunity 

This offense was in dire need of a WR1. DK is a true WR1 and would’ve opened up a lot of things for others

Another year of the worst graded WR group in the league

I know everyone wants to have great receivers but I feel like Dan and Co. are a build inside out type of organization and tomorrow is gonna show that.

They’re going after Milton and a safety 

Milton is getting 20+ per year and any safety we get will be 15-20 a year 

The Pats are probably going to throw the bank at Milton. People freaking out about the DK contract… this FA class is very poor and guys are going to get overpaid big time

I'd keep an eye out on Godwin. He has the same relationship with Canales and Idzik. If his demands aren't too bad... u get an equal level talent without a draft pick and shouldn't be nowhere near those numbers. Then again it just takes a desperate  team... Patriots may panic

We probably was never really in it from a competition standpoint.  The Seahawks sent him to a team in the AFC.

Love the player, hate him being 29 and coming off another injury.  Realistically he has 1-2 years of great play left in him, just doesn't fit with where we are at right now, our best case of getting into contention wouldn't happen until after he's no longer a great WR.  

If he was even 2 years younger, I'd be all for it, but that age plus injury, just doesn't seem like the right move for us right now.

I feel you!! Only reason I said if money was right.

I feel like it is just excitement over FA beginning and nothing to do with the Panthers. I have a feeling the "Panthers will be very active during FA" being reported is overblown. We will probably sign maybe one or two good players but no star players are gonna sign with a team like the Panthers over going to a team that looks like it is heading in a better direction or a playoff team. 

We still have the Tepper stink on us. I expect us to overpay for players like we did last year.
