Omar Kelly: Panthers Willing to Outbid Any Offer for DWill

Omar Kelly, a "Part-time Dolphins reporter and blogger for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel" (from his Twitter page), put out these tweets earlier:

I have been told that Carolina intends to make it difficult for another team to steal DeAngelo Williams. That means a bidding war.

RT @phinsphan1013: It shouldn't be that difficult. Why would Williams wanna be in Carolina»it's possible they'll give him $6 million reasons

RT @Proudiddy: You're confident that Carolina will re-sign Deangelo Williams back then?» Nope. Just know he'll be relatively expensive 2 get

So, it sounded pretty promising until his last tweet to me, lol. But even with that, from what he originally tweeted, it sounds like we'll go to great lengths to keep him.:D

If the judge puts back the 2010 CBA rules including the restricted free agent tenders given out in Feb., don't be surprised if the Panthers do not offer D-Will an extension knowing they can keep him one more year during his prime without having the contract burden of 4-5 more years after that for a player in his 30s.

Could be a possibility, but then again, it seems like he and the FO have a good relationship and he seems like a guy they want to keep around because he's not only awesome on the field, but off of it as well.

if Williams didn't stay in Carolina I highly doubt he'd go to Miami. that fan was like "why would he stay in Carolina?" it isn't like their situation is miles ahead of the Panthers. still a shaky at best QB situation, and an owner that publicly pursued another head coach while their current coach was still on staff(and then pulled their offer and kept Sparano lolz, classy!)

    • I'm not saying it shouldn't be a part of his game it should be present yes. But expecting 500/10 in the rushing category is not sustainable IMO. All it's going to take is a defender to be willing to sacrifice a penalty or a fine to send a message just as the Falcons did with Sam Darnold. And even as big and durable as Cam was defenses eventually started to try to send a message to him too. We have to be realistic about not putting our QB at unnecessary risk. Especially given the fact we aren't even willing to run a QB sneak with him. We've also invested a good bit in our backfield that's what they're there for. And furthermore ultimately whatever QB  tier Bryce Young ends up landing in over the course of his career it is going to be defined by what he does as a passer not his rushing ability. That's all I'm saying.
    • Bryce had 191 yards 55% completion 1 td 1 pick.  That's an amazing performance?   Come on people
    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development and competiveness on both sides of the ball but particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
