Could Morgan be eyeing Trey Hendrickson

Before I saw the projected contract, my immediate thought was "heck no". But 2 years, $50 million? I mean the top edge rushers are getting over $40 million per year. You're talking about a steep discount because the guy is past the typical prime and coming off an injured year. And the commitment is minimal. Based on typical contract structures, we could likely get out after 1 year in a worst case scenario. But if he's even 80% of the guy who led the league in sacks 2 years in a row? It'll be a bargain and would transform our defense.  We could finally have a decent pass rush with Hendrickson, DBrown, Wharton, and Scourton. I can't envision another single free agent that could have as big of a potential impact.

The best part is you build it to where X amount is guaranteed and split it across 4 years in bonus up front. But leave yourself some wiggle room year 2 just in case you need out of it.

It makes sense but I could totally see Morgan pulling a Jalon Walker here and misdirecting and grabbing somebody else.

I think he gets AJ Epenesa. He was Director of Player Personnel when he was drafted in Buffalo.

It heavily rumored for the Panthers to be in all trade talks with the bungals over trey, but no team was willing to give up 1st and talk ended there. Then they fired up again and still no 1st or 2nd for a guy missing time with injuries. 

I personally think Dan was earning brownie points with Trey and his agent, "I always wanted you and tired my hardest to trade, but the bungals bungled".

Great name in AJ Epenesa, he's going to get a bag and maybe the panther are the team. It seems they want to make at least one big splash.

think of the bills and von Miller, that's my guess. Let me look-

Miller is headed to Buffalo to join the Bills on a six-year, $120 million deal, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday. The contract includes an average of $17.5 million per year for the first four seasons and $51 million in guarantees, per Rapoport

add for NFL inflation....

We don’t have the level of talent to really make a comparison but washed up Jared Allen helped us a lot. Just in spots but he made a difference.


Age can be dealt with. Don’t kill their stamina and use them in the high leverage situations, as much as you can orchestrate that. 

It depends, is he some kind of final piece? Maybe not for a SB but might be a difference maker in your division? If you can work the money out and it doesn’t restrict your other goals in terms of your roster then you probably do it.

If possible, I’d rather trade for Crosby 

I wouldn't at the cost it will require. We aren't one piece away, we are several. 

I also want an elite pass rusher(or rushers) but selling out your future for the present is how we ended up so bad in the first place. 

For a team with as bad of a roster as we have, those draft picks are like a bevy of lifelines to help us pull ourselves out of the quagmire we are currently in. Trading picks is like intentionally cutting them.

If Trey is a cheapish option, fine. I can predict an Evero still here future on that, in the 2027 offseason people will be saying he should be cut and we were idiots for signing a guy that only got 5-7 sacks. "Trey is washed! Should have traded for *insert younger player who would also have performed poorly in this defense*!"

The problem is that legit contenders would also be willing to offer that. The only way we likely lure in a player like Hendrickson is offering him more, maybe considerably more, than teams in better situations to compete now and that gets very very dicey with players on the wrong side of 30.

Yeah and you see a lot of these older former elite pass rushers taking smaller, shorter deals with contenders to chase rings. Miller, Bosa, etc.

If I’m earmarking the Panthers to spend big on an EDGE (which we should) I’m going after Jaelen Phillips. He turns 27 this summer and would be more of a long term signing vs. Hendrickson, IMO.

I feel like Dan will go after someone like he did Milton Williams last year, and my money is on Phillips, Lloyd or Dean. Maybe it’s Hendrickson but given the age, much the way we went after Moehrig, I think age plays into it.

I will say though, seeing Demarcus Lawerence light it up in Seattle at 33 does provide hope….. I just don’t think Evero’s system can be compared to what’s being built in the PNW.

Yeah I'd prefer Crosby(28) or Phillips

    • I'm OK with it. I think it's a little high considering his injury history and weight issues, but Coker seems to be a solid kid that has an understanding of what it takes to be a pro, and I believe that they believe that he did enough last season to show that he's ready to be a consistent force within the offense. Let's go, Coker, be all that everyone, including yourself, knows that you can be!
    • https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.  
    • Tort is a fuging asshole. But, I love that he will keep starting Hart.
