Has Hurney gone fugging nuts????

You guys do realize that this was because we had to hit the cap floor, right?

Would you guys have rather us let him walk and sign some old, veteran player to an insane deal? Besides, he's only 25 years old. He'll be 31 when the deal is over. I'm glad we kept him instead of letting him go to Atlanta.

25 year old DE who showed a ton of promise in relief and busts out the first opportunity he gets named the starter. All this while playing from behind because we were running our fuging fisher price offense. He's also not one-dimensional, being really stout against the run. A top 5 FA in a huge pool at a position of extreme demand.

What the fug is wrong with some of you?

The deal still isn't as much as we paid Peppers (per game) to stay after we tagged him, and we have WAY more cap room now. And CJ isn't going to be the highest paid player at his position either.

jtgreensboro, I think you're the one losing your mind bro... if Hurney drops a 80-mil 4-year on DWill, THEN you can get excited.

signing bonus' cap hit will be balanced out for the length of the contract. they paid the appropriate price for a premium 3-down DE and can slot him in as a starter for the length of the contract. the guy is 25 years old and will be 31 when he hits free agency again.

this is the MO of the 2011 carolina panthers. i would rather them spend 70 mil on a proven player developed by them than on a risky free agent, a CB, a rookie #1 pick in years' past, a contract extension for john fox, and pretty much anything else. this is the best way to spend the big bucks in the NFL: keeping the players that you know are good and young and ready to work.

Always been the MO for them. They pay the players that perform and they want to keep.

posted this in another thread. someone was asking how CJ's contract effected the cap...

billvoth Before, a 30 trying to fit into a 42. Now, a 34 into a 42. Still plenty of room left RT @Musabucks: @billvoth Where's this put us cap-wise?

    • It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth 
    • The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on. 
    • Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
