Ikem Ekwonu is slated to GET PAID

[strato]

I think he has underperformed his draft position. Doesn’t mean he sucks but I haven’t seen what I hoped to see. I guess let’s put it that way. 
I don’t advocate adding LOT to the needs list. It is a tough one.

Just sign him because he’s an absolute bulldozer in the run game and his pass protection is good enough not to get Bryce killed. With Moton probably leaving next year they’ll have some cap money to move to Icky

Where do you draw line top3 or top 5 money then?

I wish he goes for a "hometown" deal and doesn't try and reset market but it's going to be tough to argue not paying him BIG MONEY if he continues do be a stabilizing force on the left side of line.

DM got some tough decisions to make at the OT position coming up. 

 

Absolutely, and I would hope that someone smarter than me is making that ultimate decision.

He has been better than ok, despite the shortcomings. Top half of the league, top 20ish. The unfortunate trend is every off-season seems to feature the next highest-paid player at their position.

If I had to go on a hunch, we will pay him what he wants, because of everything that doesn't equate to his performance on the field. I don't think I would lose sleep over it, again it's not my money or choice, but he isn't worth that kind of deal.

Moton isnt going anywhere. We just gave him a 2 year 44 million extension with 40m guaranteed.

Already have the highest paid o line by a significant margin and still gotta resign a young LT. Then gonna have to pay QB later who is gonna want more than everybody. Lmaooooo....panthers.
