Summary

Star softly talking about Smitty and Gross both text their fellow Utah brother welcoming him.

Q: What makes you the best DT in this draft?

A: The coaches drilled me on picking up schemes as well as workouts and was impressive. My strength and explosiveness seperate me from the other DTs.

Q: What do you think about the potential of this team? Playoffs?

A: Definitely, I will step in and help out to make his team get to the playoffs.

What was it like to meet Smitty? Who raved about Star..

Star lit up and laughed how Smitty supports the team and visits regularly and loves to work with him.

Q What do you think about moving so far away to NC?

A: it's crazy but and we do not know what to expect so we will look at everything as we just landed.

Thanks and welcomes..he sounds like a new dad who flew east.

Welcome to the Panthers Mr. Lotuleilei now break some lame NFC South QB azz!

Nothing but a soft Q n A with him but cool to hear the big guy who will be at the Jordan Gross kickball game this weekend.

Missed it. Will definitely catch the audio when it's posted.

These guys, though. They're on talking about trading down, and one of them even brought up the idea of Mathieu in the second.

Lord, they're idiots :wacko:

Pushing for the Honey Badger is as bad as if someone pushing for a HB or DE.

We have 3 Nickle Cbs already lol..with no history of drug problems.!!

It is just the football star syndrome....guys love big names.

I want to make it to the kickball game...as Star tears his ACL running to first base..uggh...sorry the mental picture of this hurts.

I was forced to watch the draft on ESPN. At one point Gruden got agitated when a CB went off the board (think it was Trufant to ATL) and went on a rant about Mathieu - to the effect that he couldn't believe he wasn't the pick/wasn't in play in the first. How whenever he watched tape of Claiborne and Peterson he was more impressed with Honey Badger. Then he went off on some Youtube tangent.

Kiper of all people had to step in, insert a little sanity, and inform viewers that Mathieu wouldn't be in consideration until the end of the second at the very earliest.

Star presser live @6p ET on Panthers.com

Awesome thanks for the heads up. Guy seems like a low key individual off the field and a family man that just wants to provide for his wife and children which is great so it'll be interesting to see how he is in front of the camera with reporters asking questions and what not.

Glad to you have you here Star! Welcome to Charlotte and lets get this Lombardi Trophy!

Cool. One thing that hasn't been mentioned is personality matches. Star is gonna love Rivera as a coach (both soft-spoken individuals).

The thing I'm most excited about is not only what Star gives us now, but what he gives us in the future. The guy has so much potential it's scary.

      I probably would have become a casual Hornets fan if Cooper ended up there, but the NBA just solidified my apathy for its product. Hornets also got shafted when Lakers got cold feet on the Mark Williams trade. NBA is corrupt and that alien-headed Silver is the kingpin.

      Most analysts from what I've seen are projecting next year's cap as closer to $298M. We saw a $24M increase this season, $31M increase last season, and $16M prior to that. There's also the inevitable cap casualties... A'Shawn Robinson being cut saves the team $8.5M. Damien Lewis would save $9M. BB3, Jewell, PJ2 all would save $5M each. Tremble and Mike Jackson could save $4M each. It wouldn't surprise me to see the team make a few moves that end up giving them closer to $50M in cap space to start 2026. I'm less worried about next year's cap space due to the upcoming UFAs for the team: TMo, AT, Tuttle, Wonnum, Nijman, Mays, Corbett, BC, Dowdle, Rozeboom, Martin, Rhattigan, Jansen, Scott... the only FAs I'm seeing on Spotrac outside of TMo that are must keeps are ERFAs Coker + Demani (so long as TMo's knee is fine, of course). 2027 on the other hand is going to be the offseason for Bryce's bonus option with Icky being the most significant UFA. PJ2, A'Shawn, Josey, MJackson, Tremble, Dalton, DJ Johnson, Zavala, and Bartholomew are the only other current FAs then. I'm of the opinion that they are all in on next season and if it doesn't go well, it's being blown up and starting from scratch. They're currently estimated to have $130M in free cap space in 2027.
