Way below $$ what people were reporting 

Yep. Stand corrected on what I was thinking the market would force.

Heck of a good deal

[MHS831]

We are going to have to cut now, and Tremble has a cap of $6m.  I think they like Tremble, as do I, but it is not my call.

how does Lloyd compare to Edmunds player and skill wise?

Someone told me Edmunds is like a bigger Shaq and Lloyd is a bigger Shaq with some Luvu in there

Hell I thought NO and Cincinnati were jacking up the price, I wonder how much we came up in that offer, to get him.

We have plenty of room. If we max out restructures we are at 80,000,000. Kaye reported earlier than Dan is only going to restructure what he spends, rather than restructuring more than he needs.

But yes we do need to go ahead and get the ball rolling on some of that.

Panthers add another big piece in LB Devin Lloyd 

Top 150 ranking: 3
Reported deal: 3 years, $45 million
Grade: A

Lloyd comes in pretty far under our projection of $19 million per year. He is tied for the fourth-highest-paid off-ball linebacker in the league, according to Over the Cap. He played like one of the best off-ball linebackers in football in 2025, and he will still only be 27 when the 2026 season begins. Lloyd is an explosive playmaker with a well-rounded skill set for the position. He is excellent in coverage. He is physical in run defense. He can blitz. He can run sideline to sideline. He had the production last season with 28 pressures and five interceptions. This had all the makings of a deal closer to the top of the market, which is held by the 49ers’ Fred Warner at $21 million APY. Lloyd slots in well below that number. This is a great deal for the Panthers. — Popper
