Defensive Needs:  DE, NT depth, CB, S, Edge, LB.

Offensive Needs:  WR, TE, RT, RB

 

FS, LB depth, and NT depth (Crumedy? Draft pick?) left to go for the defense.

I expect Dan Chisena (for ST primarily) and could see the team kicking the tires on Tyler Lockett.

Sets the team up nicely leading into the draft......

I missed Tershawn Wharton.  Just stumbled over it. Here is how I see the DE Milton Williams failed deal ($26m per year).

The Panthers then sign NT Bobby Brown for $7m and DE Wharton for $18m.  In other words, the Panthers get 2 solid players for $25m-- $1m less than the Milton contract.

WHAT PANTHERS GOT FOR $25m (combined):

  • DE Tershawn Wharton:  7 sacks, 68.3 pass rush grade.  44.3 run defense grade.
  • NT Bobby Brown: 0 sacks, 67.7 run defense grade. Overall PFF rating: 63.3

WHAT PATRIOTS GOT FOR $26m:

  •  Milton Williams:  6 sacks, 90.0 pass rush grade.  43.1 run defense grade.

Lockett is all but guaranteed to go to Vegas

Kupp when he's cut for me 

Why?

Don't get me wrong, I've always been a Kupp fan, but he'll turn 32 before training camp, hasn't been able to stay healthy, and plays the same role that Thielen already plays for us and who already has a rapport with Bryce.

Because of that, he doesn't really add anything new to the team unless we were planning on trading/cutting Thielen.  

But since neither would be long term solutions at the position anyways, I'd rather just stick it out with Thielen for his last year under contract given Bryce's comfort level with him already.  This is a make or break year for Bryce, I think that comfort level with someone who hasn't had the injury issues that Kupp has had is better for us this year than Kupp would be as a replacement for him.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
