Here is are the current players on our team that have a top 15 AAV(per OTC) in their position group. Specialists were not included, as they rarely occupy much actual cap space.

Damien Lewis: 8th LG

Chuba Hubbard: 11th RB

Robert Hunt: 3rd RG

Taylor Moton: 10th RT

Derrick Brown: 6th IDL

Jaycee Horn: 1st CB

Trevon Moehrig: 5th S

The only player's contract I have a problem with is Horn. Time will tell with Moehrig. All others are justified or deserving IMO

Yeah, the Horn deal is bananas. He is genuinely not a top 10 player at his position, even when healthy. They are paying him for future performance and, TBH, I don't see it going well.

Let's hope we are all wrong and he uses it as motivation to be the best.

Moehrig is an interesting one. He is really going to have to play well to justify that, IMO.

The investment overall in non-premium positions is eye opening, for sure.

I would think this is skewed a bit by having your starting QB, LT, and two WRs on rookie contracts. We probably end up with at least one defensive end in this year's draft class. And Brian Burns plays a premium position, but I'm sure glad we're not paying him the 4th highest salary at his position.

THIS RIGHT HERE absolutely insane for a guy who hasn't completed a season and had only played in 54% of the games in his CAREER

Burns 9 sacks a year were 100% not worth the paycheck he got (not to mention he's not a consistent pass rush but a guy who has an outburst game or two) 

Trading him was the right move they just should have traded him instead of Moore or taken the 2 1sts from the rams.

I thought that last year when we invested so heavily in guards. I was wrong because they sure made a difference.

Hubbard and Brown seem to be worth the money or possibly even bargains.

And Horn, that was a lot of money there, but it probably is just resetting the marketplace and he'll be down the list in the next few weeks. Still, I'm wondering about the balance between the impact he made last season and his availability through his career. It's a roll of the dice and I'm not sure how much is guaranteed.

Needless to say the wins need to begin following promptly.

Depends on what kind of draft we have imo. I think our offense gets better this year (if for no other reason the line now has a full season of continuity).

 

With the additions on defense health pending of course we should be much much better against the run, Brown-Brown-Robison on early downs is gonna be STOUT.  Rosewood and Moerig should help cut down on long runs.

 

I could see anywhere from 8 to 10 wins if we stay healthy.

      Can we all admit it now?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      That's also in an era when DBs could press for 10 yards, Qbs could be hit, QBs could have players land on them, incidental contact could be made with the head etc. You can't compare bryce to players like this. What you can do is say who's done less over their first 30 starts and had more resources dedicated to them and at that point you're looking at like Joey Harrington.  At least with Joey there weren't morons in the fan base falling over themselves to compare him to players from the first year of the NFL merger.

      Brees had a pro bowl year in year 3. Phillip Rivers was drafted anyways and Brees went off for two more years before his shoulder was completely torn up in the last game of the 2006 season.

      Fly Over: Would this happen or is this fanbase too far removed to care?

      By ElkinPanthersFan · Posted

      The last time this franchise was in this much despair pre Tepper, the rumors of the banner flyover were met by the front office. They quickly worked with the disgruntled fans to quell any potential negative event occurring at the Stadium or TV. The real question is do we even have enough fans that care to get together behind a movement like this again or is our fan base too far gone that we dont care to revolt like this? Personally, I still go to games each year no matter how terrible it is, but it has went from something I spent all week looking forward to almost as enjoyable as yearly physical. We can count the blunders this franchise has made in keeping Head Coaches, General Managers and players too long. (Rivera,Rhule, Hurney, Fitterrer). Team wise we've missed out on Herbert, we didnt trade Burns for 2 1st round picks, we reached by taking Bryce who would have most likely been were we were going to draft anyway, and extended players who constantly underperformed like Ian Thomas. Even when we are gifted a chance like 2 first for Burns that we shouldnt have paid premium, we fumbled a chance to really jump start the franchise. So this is more to everyone as a whole. How much of your Soul for this team is left? Is it still there that if there was a glimmer of hope, you'd come right back or has the futility of this team negated your love for football completely?
