Panthers are "very close" to a contract with brown

The Panthers are "very close" to a contract agreement with second-round pick Everette Brown, according to NFL.com's Jason La Canfora.

Most mid-rounders will sign by week's end, but getting Brown in camp on time would be a nice coup for Carolina. The Panthers gave up a 2010 first-round pick for the Florida State defensive end, which could've caused leverage problems in talks with his agent. Brown was the 43rd pick overall.

Kind of funny to say that about a rook starting in that sentence when Otah himself did.

Would be sweet if EB signs this week!

Speaking of which, last year gave proof that a lot of misconceptions about Fox were largely incorrect, but then again I'm not sure how many of the critics were willing to see it.

Oh sh1t...

Recent reports have revealed that Everette Brown will hold out of TC and demand a trade. Brown, the 43rd pick of the 2009 draft, stated that he does not believe he can reach his full potential in John Fox's defense. Brown and his agent have reportedly suggested 4 teams for GM Marty Hurney to seek trades with. Brown's agent has also stated that Brown would feel more comfortable in a 3-4 defense, as an OLB. This despite Brown never playing 3-4 OLB in college.

BREAKING NEWS:

It appears that Carolina DE Charles Johnson has also requested a trade per ESPN. Even though he is not a FA until next off season he will hold out. Sighting his differences with the team, he believes he has maxed out his potential in John Fox's defense. He and his agent have reportedly given 4 teams for GM Marty Hurnery to seek trades with. This puts Hurney in bind considering Johnson is one of the league's elite DE's.

    • 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
