Hmmm...this is interesting, but it's not like he's blown the market out of the water i.e. Watson contract at the time.

Highest paid DB ever? You better believe that was the tease they were talking about. That doesn't mean we are necessarily done for the day, however.

In true Panthers fashion after handing out a massive deal, Horn will probably never will play a 17 game season now.

Ooof. This is what happens when you let get painted into a corner (pun intended). Horn knew we were fugged if he walked and played hard ball.

Were we really going to let our only legit CB walk?

Numbers? Just speculating?

Who says Juan can't crash a site all by himself? He had links cued up for days ready to post.

X links are working now. Everyone calm down.

Didn't he recently change his tune about wanting to leave the Jets, about the same time a certain QB was told he wouldn't be back?

Any guesses to whom?

They can't be deemed official until noon. So anything before then will be leaks. Then again, you have to determine leak vs. rumor.

Rumors are Steelers and Jets may switch 2024 QBs. Rodgers to their Steelers, Fields to the Jets.

Yes, teams can always cut to make more room and restructure existing deals. What would be nice is if we could just stop having stupid contracts and a ton of dead cap which would make FA much more straight forward without having to create room on the books.

We are 22nd in cap space, so we can't make that big of a splash. If so, that's our entire FA as far a splashes go.

Have to go defense heavy that way we don't need to reach in the draft. I expect an Edge, corner and DT. Not necessarily tomorrow, but among first positions addressed when regular FA hits high gear.

Panthers sign K Nick Folk to a 5-year $50M contract.

Okay, if these are the real numbers, then it isn't that bad. Two years, a little over $10M and $4M is due at signing. Back out yearly bonuses and is just under $5M in salary for the life of the deal. That I can live with.

So now it's just the Jets and Giants, really. The Colts and Titans have young QBs that are possible busts, but at this time they still have QBs--though with uncertain futures.

No thanks. Bills fans are a pretty savvy football bunch. I'd trust their input. If they say this guy blows, then he most likely does.

True, but one corner is a nickle and the other stays hurt. You really need four strong CBs to have a solid corner corps. Two starting safeties with one decent reserve is standard. I bet we sign at least one of the 5 safeties back we let walk when they realize there isn't a strong market for them. Safeties are the 'RBs' of the defense. Smart on us to let them ALL test the waters and not jump the gun on a new deal. Again, we will end up re-signing one or two of these guys later in FA.

Shouldn't we be focused on CBs in FA? Not a strong draft and we aren't exactly deep at corner.

Whew, bullet dodged!
