Panthers North strikes again.

I had similar thoughts on this recently. Maximizing talent on the team overall given the salary cap means having to replace expensive talent with new talent at a much lower cap number, even if there may be a downgrade in that position group. Take our O-line, for example. We had to spend the money to lift it from the bottom of the barrel but if we want to improve in other areas and pay some players their new contracts, we need to draft their replacements now. A small slip in performance is likely worth 20 million/year in savings and if your new guys are even better than the old ones, you're in really good shape

Thanks for the Raiders game and... that's probably it in terms of good memories. Oh, I guess being worth a 7th round pick to someone.

Damn, this is a good fall back plan for a great number. Drafting another LT is still not out of the question, although we may not need to use a 1st for it, now.

Seems we're kicking the tires to see if there's anything there. Would be a surprise if he's still around by September, though.

Nothing suspicious about this at all.

So, "Start Pickett" thread when? And before anyone says anything, this is the same place that had threads wanting to start Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme.

Seems like an okay move. Saints fans being mad about losing Fortner is a bonus. But can we get an actual center in the draft, please? It's only the guy that touches the ball the most every game along with the QB.

We make our team travel on Greyhound and stay at a Motel 6 or something?

It is what it is.

The Super Bowl winning coach might be the only guy who has guaranteed job security for next season. Otherwise, you could go 0-17 and somehow keep your job or lose in the Divisional Round and get fired. It really comes down to the specific circumstances and the owner. That said, definitely would not want to be Aaron Glenn. Being the HC of a bad franchise is a perpetual hot seat because management is going to be impatient and/or incompetent.

I recall Seahawks fans were quite happy to see Bevell fired, so... yeah. I was also going to say that it's hiring someone Canales already knows and whether that's helpful in bringing in new ideas, but then there's the whole deal with how Reich's staff was assembled with people he had less connections with and how that turned out.

Well, that was a game that existed. Oh, and it sounds like a war zone outside my place right now. Figures.

Only if that came with a play by play from Kevin Harlan.

Inevitable Maye fumble.
