That was going to be a bit too rich for our blood.

Good for him! I always liked him and he deserved to get paid. I wanted him back, but it's a deep draft at C and we can't afford to over-pay the whole line.

Center has to be a draft need now, right?

Not a promising center class for day 1 starters. There's a couple of intriguing prospects, but none that you can really look at and say that guy is starter material. Lew, Slaughter, Hecht and Jones seem to be in the top 5 on most rankings projections I've seen, but even so, don't know that any of them are ready to go day 1.

Yep, he was a team player and had worked his way into a starting role, if not here, somewhere. Hope he does great there.

Good to see these young folks' dreams coming true.

Still... we need a center. Drafting would be great but our first two rounds are certainly spoken for. Is there a great one in the third? Hope so.

good for cade

last time i'll tell this story

he was originally a UGA recruit. when he came for his final visit, his dad was sitting down on a metal folding chair and accidentally chopped one of his fingers. But they're real country so he was just like "Well I got 9 more it's fine" and moved on with their lives.

When Cade wanted to transfer to UT, UGA was initially going to block the transfer until his dad came by and was like "REMEMBER THAT FINGER I LOST?!" and UGA was like "okay fair."

Lions agreed to terms with C Cade Mays, formerly of the Panthers, on a three-year, $25 million contract.
A boost for Jahmyr Gibbs! Mays is a huge power-blocking 6-foot-6, 325-pound center and should help solidify a troubled interior line for the Lions. It allows them to leave Christian Mahogany and Tate Ratledge at guard and makes Juice Scruggs a depth piece.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      Then why are they paying QBs so much compared to other players? QB are making so much it's harder and harder to pay other players. If a guy plays like 1 of 11 then there pay should be in line with that. Not all QB should be breaking the bank just because your next or a former 1st rounder There is a reason they say try to win it all on a QB rookie deal because after that they can cripple a team on what it can do. I would rather not do that for a bottom 1/3 QB. Cam and Jake have been the only QBs worth investing long term into this team has had I would rather not lower the bar. If a guy don't got the IT factor and it shows I would rather not invest long term into them and keep looking

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
