FA Splash: Panthers sign Jaelan Phillips EDGE


Recommended Posts

IDK....I know the sack numbers aren't there but the QB pressures are - top 10 in this. 

It's hard to look past injuries, but the contract looks like $20M/yr guaranteed and I'm sure there's injury clauses/escalaters in there that somewhat protect the Panthers. If he stays healthy, he gets closer to $30M per, which is inline with the top edge rushers in the league. 

I still think DB needs another partner next to him and a green dot ILB. I'd take Nakobe Dean from Philly on a budget-friendly 2-yr deal.

Yall be saying anything to not admit burns was a hell of player and it was a mistake to let him go lol 

He laid down his last year here. I thought. When they do that I don’t care how good they are.

Efficiency: Despite only recording 5.0 sacks in 17 games, he finished 4th in the NFL in pressure rate (18.8%) among edge rushers with at least 250 snaps.

That's promising, let's hope he can stay healthy

The upside is there, the risk is huge for all that guaranteed money though. I'm not a huge fan of this signing. They paid for a guy who has proven it on the field, not a guy they're hopeful can get to those numbers.

Idc what anybody says it was clear as day that we should’ve signed burns . Now we signed a guy who’s  Tier below even burns  

Nah, we should have TRADED Burns to the Rams. They offered a crazy package. If that trade offer never came through then re-signing him was the obvious choice. Botched on both levels.

This makes Pat Jones $10 cap & presence kind of off with Scourton & Princely being developed.  Would like to see him moved.

Both Jones Jr. and A'Shawn should be on the move

 

They're almost certainly cutting both Jones and A'Shawn

    • 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...
    • 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.
