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.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
