885th highest paid player for runner-up to Defensive Rookie of the Year. Yeah, probably is the best value.

link:The Best-Value Contract on Every NFL Roster Entering 2021 Season | Bleacher Report | Latest News, Videos and Highlights S Jeremy Chinn The Carolina Panthers are a rebuilding team with a lot of young players who have flashed but have yet to earn long-term extensions. Two-time 1,000-yard receiver DJ Moore will make just $3.6 million in the fourth year of his rookie deal, promising cornerback Donte Jackson will collect just $2.8 million under the same circumstances and 2020 first-round pick Derrick Brown will earn a reasonable $5.9 million per year. But all of the above are easily trumped by surprise sensation Jeremy Chinn, who crushed it as a 22-year-old rookie safety/linebacker in 2020 but was only the 64th overall selection in last year's draft. Per Pro Football Focus, only three rookie defenders registered more stops than the Southern Illinois product (30) during a campaign in which he was runner-up for the Defensive Rookie of the Year award. And he did all that for less than $1 million. In terms of average annual salary, Chinn is the 885th-highest-paid player in the league.

"Lets go guys and get a winning record this year so we can get a winning record next year so we can have two years in a row with winning records." ..just doesn't have the same ring as... "Let go fight to win a superbowl."

link:How rookie Chuba Hubbard could perfect the Panthers’ backfield (usatoday.com) Mike Davis ended up only averaging 42 yards per game. Chuba Hubbard waits for the right moment to move forward, even if it isn’t following his lead blocker. Hubbard was an All-American at Oklahoma State who totaled 2,094 yards and 21 touchdowns on 328 carries, averaging 6.4 yards per rush. What he showed on tape was fluid hips and the ability to find the right gap The article as 2 excellent videos showing Hubbard's ability to read blocks and defense openings.

And a long snapper was taken a couple picks later, so had we waited, we would not have had our first choice.

The Panthers would need something like 10+ wins and Jaycee would have to have 6+ picks to get DROY. It really helps to be part of an elite unit. I think his post is dream scenario. The potential is there.

Same thing, except last in the division. Ranking The NFC South Offensive Lines: Bucs Vs. Saints (pewterreport.com) Nobody likes Erving and Eiflin....those signings really are a mystery.

He's going to be an awesome analyst.

I don't know a more electric player to watch. ...and for a long time...he was ours. I wish we could have gotten him a ring.

Yeah it feels that way. It almost like there's a rephrase app that some of them use. Some of the quotes I see over and over are clipped from the press conferences.

Grier may improve, but in 2019, he didn't look good in preseason or his two starts. Did he even play at all last year? He's an old regime draft and is on the bubble.

This is where I am. PJ did well enough in his game last year, and it looked better than Grier.

Looks like HS number.

Carolina Panthers: Greg Olsen's 'mixed feelings' over number giveaway (catcrave.com) “You know I’ll be honest, I had mixed feelings about it. Donnie (Toner) in the (Panthers’) equipment room texted me and kind of gave me a heads up. My whole thing was I didn’t want the kid to feel any pressure from me. That was his number (Marshall wore 88 in college). That’s what he wanted. I’ve heard he’s a great kid. I don’t have any animosity. I’m glad he’s going to wear it and hopefully, he’s a great player. I have no ill will.”

"I want that Brady sack." He said in a recent interview. I hope he gets it.

Frank Okam Excited To Help Develop Panthers’ Young DLine (theriotreport.com) About Frank Okam While Okam is a new face as the defensive line coach for the Panthers, he is not a new face in this role under Phil Snow and Matt Rhule, having spent two seasons as the defensive line coach at Baylor prior to joining them in Carolina "You really want to have a DLine that’s tough, that’s hard working, that’s competitive..." "try to play the game the way we drafted in the first place to be dominant game-changing type players.” On Hassan Reddick "Haason, he had a lot of options to pick his place and go where he wants and I think when you’re trying to get guys to see your vision and join in, it doesn’t hurt that you have Brian Burns opposite you” admitted Okam" On Derek Brown "Derek has become way more comfortable within himself; ...this Spring so far I’ve seen him make huge technical strides that are really gonna help his game” explained Okam. “Just the ability to understand how to make the most of his size, how to rush and rush well. He’s made vast improvement at that, in my opinion. His ability to collapse the pocket and finish, I think he always had the ability to collapse the pocket, but it’s the point now where he’s starting to finish some of those reps where you have us, the defensive coaches, excited about the possibility of what he could do.” Yetur Gross-Matos “Yetur has grown into a hunk of a man, he’s gained some weight, he’s getting physically more solid, and I think he’s still scratching the surface of how big he can get. He’s padding all this mass and not losing any speed and so that’s what’s really exciting about him because, when you have a guy who’s six-five and then that long and who moves that well, he’s gonna have a chance to be impactful" On Phil Hodgskins “We drafted him to be a large nose tackle defensive tackle type body, he’s about 300 pounds. He’s a long, 300-pound kind of body type person” clarified Okam. “Six-five, great length, great power, great initial quickness I’m excited about what he can what he can do. On Daviyon Nixon. “He’s a different type of body type. He’s more of the true traditional, as far as length athleticism and leanness level, three-technique. So no, he really isn’t shaped like DaQuan and Bravvion and Derek and even Phil for that matter. He’s kind of his own little his body type that is unique for our room” explained Okam. “So you get to see a kid that has the athleticism that we desire from that 3-technique position, see, a kid that has the length that you desire from that 3-technique position. So we’re really happy to have him and it’s really something for us to just help him become a pro as fast as possible" Nixon was a fifth round pick from Iowa was expected to be selected somewhere on day two but landed in the Panthers lap towards the middle of day three. A former community college star who transferred to Iowa. On Morgan Fox on Daquan Jones “Morgan Fox just came in and he’s been a Pro’s Pro. He’s done a great job of his vocal and physical leadership, him and DaQuan Jones together... Those guys have come in and kind of taken that baton and they’ve carried it and ran with it. So they helped set a standards...you say, ‘Hey guys, this is how I want it to get done’, and he can articulate it to a guy that’s out there doing it every day who’s confused on the coaching point, it allows people in our room to grow exponentially faster it takes less time to help them understand the technique...DaQuan and Morgan, they definitely helped us speed that process up faster than anticipated."

YGM is going to be one to watch. He could have a breakout year this year with all the pressure coming from all directions.

We get it. The implosion of 2019 and the 1st year of rebuild 2020, we weren't good, with only 5 wins each. Its good you're here to remind us.

/sarcasm

Go Panthers!

You said we were dead last in the division. I corrected you. That was it.

Atlanta was last in the division last year. When someone says that they are last in the division, that is what they mean. Last in the division. Not discounting non-division games across a 2 year period. Why do you redefine division standing to make us look worse?
