Stephon Gilmore, the 2019 defensive player of the year, certainly brings superior cornerback skills to the table . However, Gilmore turns 31 on September 19; he could be on the verge of seeing his abilities begin to diminish. Last year, the Patriots moved $4.5 million of Gilmore’s 2021 salary to 2020. Typically, that results in the player getting a new deal in lieu of playing for a reduced salary in the following year. And the Patriots seem to be willing to do something with Gilmore’s contract; however, if it was enough from Gilmore’s perspective the deal would be done. A trade presumably is on the table for Gilmore. A new team would have to be willing to pay Gilmore what he wants, too and to satisfy the Patriots with an appropriate trade offer.

Great to see Robby Anderson return to practice for first day of mandatory minicamp. I was never anxious about his return, taking into consideration that Rhule has been Andersons coach since college and was one of the reasons he even made it to the league.

Alexander Tue, June 15, 2021 After missing all of OTA’s earlier this month, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson returned to practice Tuesday for the first day of mandatory minicamp. He had previously skipped all of the team’s voluntary OTAs earlier this month. Anderson was the only uninjured Panthers player to miss all previous Organized Team Activities. Anderson said he felt at this point in his career, he knows how to get himself ready, adding that the program he was working on with his trainer was going well. He said the coaches and his teammates approved of it. “I was working,” Anderson said. “It’s not like I was doing nothing.” Anderson is on the last season of a two-year $20 million contract with the Panthers. Anderson made $8 million in 2020 and will make $12 million this year, according to overthecap.com. Anderson is the 27th highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL. Anderson had the best season of his career in 2020. He caught 95 passes, which was 10th in the NFL, for 1,096 yards and three touchdowns. It was his first 1,000-yard season in his five-year career. He led the Panthers in receptions and was second in receiving yards behind DJ Moore. Panthers coach Matt Rhule has not commented specifically on Anderson’s absence. Anderson is expected to again be a key piece to the Panthers’ offense this season. He reunites with former Jets quarterback Sam Darnold, who the Panthers traded for in April. Anderson caught passes from Darnold for two years in New York before joining the Panthers in 2020.

Adding another blocking presence on the edge could help McCaffrey significantly. Tremble can cope with edge rushers seamlessly and absolutely thrives demolishing linebackers at the second level. This will obviously be tougher against more physical defenders who boast more experience. But Tremble has the sort of attitude needed to make the necessary adjustments and become an important part of the offense in Week One.

There isn’t much to go off from a pass-catching standpoint thanks to the limited opportunities Tremble received in college. The prospect did show flashes of what he could possibly do and if he develops his craft in a professional environment, he will be the complete package we need. Tremble definitely fits the mold of what the Panthers are trying to build. His infectious enthusiasm is matched by ruthless aggression that is hard to stop, so we should be able to expect fireworks whenever he is on the field as a rookie.

If Ha Ha makes the team he brings prior NFL experience to the secondary room, which would benefit the younger players. The gained experience helping him become a mentor would probably not have as great of an impact to the young corners as A.J. Bouyce but would certainly have some to a degree.

Ha Ha had one good season years ago but has a long history of not making other teams rosters, so by all means let's be in a hurry to sign him to a big Marty Hurney type contract? I think not...

If the team signs Ha Ha Clinton-Dix following his tryout, he’ll likely play a rotational role at safety while also serving as a mentor to younger DBs like Troy Pride, Jr. and first-round pick Jaycee Horn.

I would hate for us to sign Ha Ha and then discover Ha Ha has become a laughing stock. Pun intended Ha Ha

In March, the Cowboys signed Clinton-Dix to a one-year, $3.75 million deal that included a $1.25 million signing bonus. The team also guaranteed $1 million of his $2.25 million base salary, but the move frees up $1.5 million in cap room. Clinton-Dix opened training camp working with the first-team defense but was quickly supplanted by Darian Thompson. Clinton-Dix spent parts of five seasons playing for Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy with the Green Bay Packers before being traded to Washington in 2018. He played last season for the Chicago Bears. Cowboys' Aldon Smith, who'll play in first NFL game since 2015, shows off The Cowboys were interested in Clinton-Dix because of his ability to take the ball away (16 career interceptions), but he did not perform up to expectations in camp.

Saftey Ha Ha Clinton - Dix has never been amongst the best at his position, outside of his 2016 season. He has, however, been a consistently good player, just not out of this world. That's why he has had at least 78 tackles in every season. That's also why he has at least one interception in every season he played.

Those are great creative works of art. It always amazes me about the talent some people have creating works like this.

Starbucks is hardly the only company struggling with supply issues. Earlier this spring, ketchup packets became hotter than GameStop stock. Automakers have slowed production because there are not enough computer chips for their vehicles. And homeowners are waiting weeks, if not months, for major kitchen appliances.

We were so fortunate as Panther fans to have been able to watch and cheer WR Steve Smith, a future Hall Of Famer for many years. Steve not only brought football skills to the wide receiver position, he brought a certain fire and competive desire to the game that few NFL players are capable of every obtaining.

Here's praying European star Christian Eriksen will have a speedy recovery and go forward to have good health and a long life. This goes to show that serious health issues can occur to the best of us and that each and every day we have good health is a wonderful blessing..

This is the " Fan Nation" projection for the panthers 2021 starting offensive line. https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/gm-report/projecting-the-panthers-starting-offensive-line-for-2021 INSIDE THE DEN+NEWSGM REPORTGAME DAYSI.COM A look at who might make up the starting combination for Carolina up front this season. Carolina had one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL in 2020 and made several roster moves this offseason in hopes of improving the overall play of the unit. There are still question marks at several spots on the line and whether or not improvement takes place is to be seen. So without further adieu, here's a look at what the starting offensive line could look like in 2021. Left Tackle - Cameron Erving Russell Okung remains a free agent and does not appear to be re-signing with Carolina meaning that the Panthers will have their 8th different starting left tackle in as many years when this season begins. I'm not putting Erving in the starting role because I believe in him but more so because he will be the best equipped to win the job out of training camp. However, I do expect rookie Brady Christensen to take over the starting job at some point throughout the regular season. Backup: Brady Christensen Left Guard - Pat Elflein Elflein is very capable of being a legitimate starter up front but does need to clean up some areas of his game, including pass protection. After a strong rookie season in 2017 lining up at center, he took quite a step back in 2018, which forced the Vikings to move him over to guard. In 2019, Elflein allowed eight sacks and committed eight penalties - certainly numbers that need to trim down. Backup: Deonte Brown Center - Matt Paradis Paradis was a little more consistent in 2021 but still hasn't produced anywhere near the way he did with the Denver Broncos. Then again, he's really the only option at center if you take out former undrafted free agent Sam Tecklenburg. I expect Pat Elflein to serve as the backup since he started there for Minnesota at the beginning of his career. Backup: Pat Elflein Right Guard - John Miller He may not have had the type of year he or the Panthers would have liked to of had but there's potential there for Miller to develop into a quality starter. Now that Miller has a full year under his belt in this offense and a year working with offensive line coach Pat Meyer, I expect him to take a big leap. Backup: Dennis Daley or David Moore Right Tackle - Taylor Moton If there is one place on the offensive line the Panthers don't have to worry about, it's at right tackle with Taylor Moton. He will be playing under the franchise tag in 2021 but will almost certainly be getting a long-term deal worked out with the team soon. Not only is right tackle in a good spot because of Moton but also because of Trent Scott's ability to step in and be productive if called into action. Backup: Trent Scott

Bingo! My exact feelings.

Some of the knocks on CB Troy Pride leading up to the 2020 NFL Draft were a lack of aggressiveness, both in terms of attacking the ball in coverage as well as attacking in the running game as a tackler. Pride is going to need to develop more of an edge rather quickly with the Panthers, who are going to be all about speed and toughness under Matt Rhule. He has all of the raw tools and athleticism to be effective, but needs to prove he can be physical and aggressive enough? Time will tell.
