Lardarius Webb Question

Recommended Posts

First off, I'm gonna go ahead and say I expect short responses that will not be very friendly, but whatever...

Webb is a RFA and we could get him by giving up our 1st.

Now before you go ape-poo, we all know a CB2 is a spot we need to fill and additionally Webb is one of the best in the league atm. Only 26 and a proven starter. We use basically our first draft pick on a starting CB...something many want with our 1st pick. We then get the best d-lineman our staff finds in the draft at 2-9 & start from there. We'd be looking at Chandler Jones, Crick, Mercilus, Curry, etc. It really could make sense.

I'm just saying, if people are willing to take a Kirkpatrick, Claiborne, or Jenkins..but why not basically get Webb a mere 3 years in and proven?

Of course this would be crazy and most likely won't happen, but would you personally do this?

I'd be open to the idea...I think he's better than the shot in the dark we get at 9 in this year's draft.

people like the draft. people will always like the draft. Your argument does make sense. Only difference, of course, being that Webb would be more expensive than a rookie CB. People will never be comfortable with this idea though. It just feels dirty and weird.

Yeah I don't expect many to like this idea which is why I was obvious about my response expectations, but really this would be something to at least look at if Hurney can maneuver the $$ around

If you trade for him assuming they want to give him up, you give up a top 10 pick and you have to pay him a big contract. If you use your 1 in the draft on a corner you have used your pick but end up with a guy who you have to pay 4 million a year instead of 10 million. I would rather save the money and hope he is great, then get someone proven who you have to spent a bunch to get. With Gamble at 10 million a year can we spend 10 more for another corner. He would cost as much as all our draft picks combined.

I'm more for the idea of drafting a Claiborne or whoever because I believe in bringing in fresh new faces who want to earn their spot. Eager young men who are gonna go out and fight for it. Not someone who's just looking for a payday and a hand out. I want guys who want to not only be a part of the Panther's culture, but cultivate it and make it their own. I want Panther's that want to be Panther's for life. It seems easier to do that thru the draft than thru free agency.

No. I've haven't even seen the Raven's own fans thinking that highly of the guy until maybe this season. I'd be much more interested swapping first round picks with Philly and getting Asante. He's older but could fill in great at #2 corner while we give Hogan time to develop.

    • And perhaps to a lesser degree, Coker, Umanmielen, Ransom, & Smith-Wade. 
    • I'm OK with it. I think it's a little high considering his injury history and weight issues, but Coker seems to be a solid kid that has an understanding of what it takes to be a pro, and I believe that they believe that he did enough last season to show that he's ready to be a consistent force within the offense. Let's go, Coker, be all that everyone, including yourself, knows that you can be!
    • https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.
