With that being said, do you think there is any chance we draft someone like Lamichael James in the 4th if he falls? i know we have more glaring needs than rb but you have to think about us possibly losing Stewart nex yr. I think he would bring an added dimension to this team.

I said it in the chat several times during the game after I heard this comment, I think we can get Ontario McCaleb from Auburn as a back in the Sproles mold in FA after the draft or the 7th round. No need to waste a pick to go towards defense. If you watched him in the bowl game against UVA, I think he could provide at least some sort of change of pace if he can beef up a bit more.

Postface this by saying that I don't know if he's coming out for the draft or not.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
