Lol. Same thing we have always been during the Tepper era. Game one against a very good defense, how about just look better than Miles Sanders? Let's start there.

If we had the power to speak things into existence then our streak of Super Bowl wins would still be going and Cam would be the GOAT.

I mean, I don't think he was wishing injury on him. Just saying it would be a very Panthers thing for that to happen. I could see it. Sometimes you just look at that black cat and wonder when things happen to us.

We will see what happens. This is likely his last contract, so he might want to get paid. If someone is willing to overpay($25 mil is that) then you just let him walk. We don't have enough cap space to be throwing out mega backup contracts to people that aren't Ian Thomas.

I suspect BC will be in the $4-7 mil a year AAV.

It makes more sense for us to extend him 1-2 more years with a reasonable cap hit. It's a win-win.

I mean....I tried to tell ya'll.....

That's it. fuging back to back and fuging Martin.

Well he technically didn't trip.

JFC.

If I see Martin handle the puck one more fuging time this game.

Martin, you absolute retard.

Eh....I would largely temper the expectations for 2024. Hopefully at some point he shows flashes but he is coming off an extended layoff and a serious injury. It takes time to usually trust the knee for most guys. Be patient. I say this as a guy that remains flabbergasted by the pick. Let's not get crazy this season if he doesn't look amazing. Now 2025 however......

He is a FA after 2025. The 2026 year is just a void year. He isn't on the roster, it's a cap trick.

That's not necessarily the case and it would also be unwise to just eat a $31.5 mil cap number. The way it is structured, it was intended to be extended.

It's not on the radar, until it's a hole. Mind you, solid RT's are certainly easier to find than solid LT's. It's also an area where you should be able to get someone in the late 1st through early 3rd and have them potentially be starting caliber. As for BC's contract, are you talking about with us or in general?

We have not. He wasn't a LT. Simple as that. BC would be a pretty big downgrade, IMO. He is not bad, but it's a step down. I would rather draft the future at both RT and C.

We will likely extend him, IMO.

Teddy had 4 wins in one season(4-11) versus the ~1.5 seasons of Bryce(4-17). Not sure that is much to write home about.

Well he would be 36 next year and a UFA. Unless he is planning on being cheap and a backup to Kochetkov, I can't see this continuing.

Meniscus maybe? I can't see it being ligaments or he would be done for the year.

I mean....he didn't offer himself the dum-dum money.

I definitely remember more mid-30's guys than that. Maybe we are just in a cycle of that group getting smaller. Or maybe these guys are just not choosing to play as long?

Damn, I didn't realize the 34+ crowd had gotten so thin. Yeah, I guess this is sort of towards the end, in that case.

I do feel like that isn't the case for most OL and DL. They don't suffer from some of the same issues most skill players do in terms of lost explosion/agility. It's really about wear and tear on lineman. Are they able to stay healthy enough to last and are they able to have exceptional technique that can counter the effects of father time? Also, we haven't seen a big drop off from Moton yet. I know he didn't look very good last year but that whole line was a mess so it's hard to get too mad at anyone individually. But, we also have to consider that Moton is an above average OT but has never been elite. Perhaps we don't get rid of him due to decline in the end, but because it's cheaper to draft a replacement.
