FA Splash: Panthers sign Jaelan Phillips EDGE

[shaq]

I need some opinions on this I am not sure how to feel on one side he is only 26 and pretty well regarded. On the other hand he’s injury prone and his highest sack total was 8.5 and that was his rookie year.

[PappyMay]

I looked at multiple top free agent ranking list and he was in the top 10 in every single one. multiple in top 5, so atleast he's a known commodity and people think highly of him.

and just like that, carolinas free agency is over

I don’t follow the eagles much. This guy an edge rusher lb or a typical lb. Seems like a big dude making a lot of money to not be getting after the QB so I’ll assume edge

Edge rusher. Talented, but has an extensive injury history. Doesn't have a lot of sacks, but the underlying numbers--pressures, hits, etc.--are really good. If he's healthy, he's good, but it's a big number no matter what.

Remember when paying Peppers $16M per season seemed like a lot during his franchise tag year?

[Soul Rebel]

Now, can Evero/Wash unlock this guy in our scheme? 

Love the measurables, potential and what he brings to the field....when healthy. Rangy, quick and only 27 years old. Lots to work with here.

No there will be more much more. Morgan still has a lot of room, they just haven’t announced restructures/releases yet and Phillips contract is probably back heavy.

Good lord. 30 million per and not to a QB. I guess tme for me to brush up on some video. 

Just concentrate on the guaranteed number. But, you're right, that's a lot. 

[Daddy_Uncle]

Seems like way too much money for the stats but what do I know. Hopefully it works out 

[TheBigKat]

LB- draft one and sign one

safety- draft one

 

and LFG!

[hepcat]

Ooof. This isn't the splash I wanted.
