Yah something ain’t adding up here 

full disclosure is I dont watch other teams centers I mean who the hell does but PFF has been giving some wonky ass grades for the past 2 seasons so maybe PFF thinks more highly of him than the actual nfl

Im guessing this plays out similar to the “we just signed Burns for a fraction of the price” when we signed DJ Wonnum

feels like it, for shits and giggles I looked up Brown on PFF.  74 grade.  I mean get the fug out of here with that bullshit.

Well he was a bust in Jacksonville but played well for the Saints the last few months of last season. Maybe he took that year on the bench seriously, or maybe the Saints offense was a better fit? Who knows

Panthers agreed to terms with OL Luke Fortner, formerly of the Saints, on a one-year, $4.75 million contract.
Fortner has made 44 starts across 68 professional appearances for the Jaguars and Saints during his four-year NFL career, notably capable of playing all three interior offensive line positions. He brings veteran depth, although the uncertainties surrounding the status of incumbent starting center Austin Corbett could lead to starting snaps for Fortner.

    • Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
    • Bryce youngs first starts for 3 years   51 of 103 49%     153 yards avg 6 ints 2 tds   But this is the year he turns it around
    • His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
