Shawn Rodgers wants out of Cleveland...

According to Florio over on profootballtalk.com, Shawn Rodgers would like to be released by the Browns... I think he'd look great in a Panthers uniform, but we probably couldn't afford his asking price... maybe a trade with the Browns Rodgers for Peppers?

I'm hesitant with Shaun Rodgers because it seems he wants out of every place he goes. I don't think a trade is going to happen for a DT with our current DTs in place. They played really well last year except for right after their injuries but if the team thinks they can come back full strength then I see no reason to replace either of them...

uhhhhh, we have two situational guys(kemo can't rush the passer, lewis can't stop the run) who are backed up by undrafted rookies and old beaten up veterans

we need depth AND talent on the defensive line in the worst way

I'm not saying we should trade for rodgers, but we need a lot of help on the D-line

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
