Think Asante Samuel, Says Some Guy On B-Report. Pure Speculation.

Well, what do you guys think about the possibility of trading for Samuel? I just got through reading this guy's take on the Bleacher Report, and he just may have a point:

Although that number could seem particularly discouraging to a team low on cap room like the Panthers, they could make the deal work by restructuring...Even if Samuel takes a pay cut over the next two seasons, the Panthers will still be in cap trouble...What could motivate the Panthers to complete this trade regardless of the risk against the cap is Samuel's playmaking ability and versatility...He could also be had for relatively little considering his high cap number and age. The popular feeling is that two early day three picks could get the deal done—a price the Panthers should be willing to pay.

Now, before we get into the Asante-sucks mode, which really isn't true when looking at the numbers, I don't think anyone can genuinely argue that he isn't markedly better than what we already have, Depending on what we want to do in the draft, this may give us an option to better explore other positions while giving us time to develop some youngsters,

Bleacher report is generally more reputable than the average Huddle thread that everyone clicks on and reads. Not sure how bashing that site got so in vogue.

I do agree asante would be a decent fit here. However I would much prefer to grab a young CB in this draft and groom him as the number two across from gamble.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
