Funnily enough, nobody currently at Miami coached him - that was Manny Diaz's staff. 

Morgan is close with Cristobal, but he wouldn't have been able to give him a recommendation. 

I figured he probably was familiar with him. Followed him through his league like you do if you are a fan. Dan just happened to be more than the average fan. 
 

I’d love to see a video of how they decided, it was said they were going between him and the Chargers guy.

Didn't expect that. He's good when he's on the field BUT this is a huge gamble with him having injury issues. 

Now I'm super curious who we bring in a LB. Definitely not Devin Lloyd anymore, we basically just gave that contract to Phillips just now.

6'5" 267. Turns 27 years old in May.

He hasn't really had much sack production in the NFL besides two decent first two years in Miami? Maybe he's gotten a lot of pressures or something.  Definitely feels like Morgan/Evero are projecting him to become a game changer in the future

I don't get it, he had 5 sacks last year

He did record 73 QB pressures but I thought our primary need is someone who can finish sacks consistently. 

I guess this is what $30MM a year gets you these days. 

Pressures are often just as good as sacks, thats 73 plays affected.

Impact player while healthy but its a fair gamble. Gotta admit hes a freak to come back from his injuries the way he has 

That's exactly what I said about the Horn extension.

Sure you don't want to share your cap expertise and injury prosgnostication skills?

Kidding and totally agree. Hell of a signing.

Morgan said he wanted better talent but he didn't want to give up draft picks.  Teams always have to overpay for top talent in free agency and time will tell if this was a good move or not, but I'm happy the Panthers are being aggressive.

Sure. But 28 sacks in 5 years….thats basically scourton without upside  

thats a lot of money depending on how it’s structured. 

its 80 guaranteed ....... that's a load......hell is this more than the Cam contract?? It maybe the highest panther contract in history....I think that was around 110, but my brain is soup....

Yeah leading the Eagles in pressures after joining mid-season is impressive.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      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.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
