Dwan Edwards weighs offers.


Recommended Posts

http://www.newsobser...ghs-offers.html

Panthers defensive tackle Dwan Edwards was one of the best bargains in the NFL last season, but the 31-year-old free agent is looking for more security this winter.

He might not find it in Carolina.

Edwards said Thursday he is weighing several contract offers, including a one-year offer from the cap-strapped Panthers. He indicated he was looking for a longer deal.

“It’s getting to the time in my career where you definitely start thinking about winning a Super Bowl,” Edwards said in a phone interview from Buffalo. “I wouldn’t say (the Panthers) were Super Bowl contenders. I think there’s an opportunity to make some noise in their division and get in the playoffs.

“If I’m not in their vision any longer than one year, it’s hard to think that (a Super Bowl run) is going to happen.”

Edwards would not identify his other suitors, but said one was a playoff team last season. He said he has been offered longer deals than the Panthers’, but would not discuss particulars.

Yeah, he's pretty much gone, with saying he wants to be with a contender and that the Panthers aren't that. lol. Yeah, he's out.

I'm not going to lie. Redundant thread is redundant.

That said, I sure hope we can work something out with him. He makes our line better. I really hate losing better guys. I can however, understand his need for a longer deal.

Give him his two year deal. Worry about cutting him next year if need be. I just want something done. All this waiting is giving me a headache.

"I think there's an oppurtunity to make some noise in their division and get in the playoffs"

Unless I'm interpreting it the wrong way.

He was referring to the Panthers with that quote. He's saying that the Panthers have potential, but aren't SB contenders, which is what he is looking for in a suitable team at this point in his career.

You are, as usual. Please work on your reading comprehension, for everyone's sake.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
