I can't fathom why the Jags wouldn't tag him or just re-sign him.

Because franchise for linebackers counts all linebackers for the rate, including edges.  Basically any non edge lb is hardly ever going to be franchised.

FWIW, this is a good article about the conciliation prizes if we miss out on Lloyd.

I REALLY like Dean but curious how he fits here with current personnel and scheme. He screams a Dan Morgan type of leader for the defense and is everything you want in a leader of the defense. 

5'11" isn't ideal but Bolton is also an undersized backer that is very important to that KC defense.

Looking at the cap space, panther will only land one big fish if they want. Lloyd should be on the top ten list, just a perfect LB to re-rail a team with rich LB play. He can do it all and no weakness in his game, all 4 downs and he can pass cover with the best. When he needs to tack or lay a hit, he brings the pain.

I feel Panthers will get priced out for his services.

I really hope they don't go nuts and do a bunch of restructuring

Tagging Devin Lloyd would be really expensive as CSX said.  28M.

Okay that is higher than I thought. The money has gone crazy.
 

 I was talking about the cost of his 5th year option probably not being that much. Which I guess just 12 months ago they declined.  But that shouldn’t have been all that much.

The question goes back to where they declined to pick up the 5th year. That wasn’t really a decision made because it was cost prohibitive, was it?
They haven’t been real stable organizationally, for a while. But it just seems like that would have been a formality if they were happy with him. So my question would be, why did they decline? 
 

Because they had a different staff that was not putting him into the best position to thrive, though he was still above average (unlike what some were suggesting during preseason), and that staff was fired.

I hear you but yeah like you say, above average. His numbers were good. You’d think it would be a no brainer.
Anyhow… I guess the new staff is also fine with him walking? 
 

I hope if we sign him there isn’t some secret issue of his that led to him not being valued.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
