I think we take a C in the draft, probably later. corbett may benefit from this move, based on his injury history. Not really sure what they will ask of him, but I imagine that he is smart enough to call schemes and would pull less than a G....

Breaking: Panthers sign former Seahawks OG Damien Lewis

While Corbett did play some at center during his time with the Browns, his experience and success at guard will be crucial for Carolina. (taken from an article I have not linked) -
Breaking: Panthers sign former Seahawks OG Damien Lewis
MHS831 replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
We are determined to keep pressure out of Bryce's face--that is for sure. Corbett, by the way, played some center while with the Browns. I think they are going to find OL in their primes now and start drafting their replacements as depth. Funny, but they are going to replace the starting guards that were on IR last year but keep them, moving one to C and the other to swing OT. HOPEFULLY, we get OT depth (who can play G) and upgrade our C with a more mobile player. We need depth, and nothing more--this changes my mocks considerably. Yes--you would have been a better GM than everyone since Polian, but he sucked at the end. -

MHS831 replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
You get the feeling that Tepper made the Young decision and he wanted Morgan to make him look good--and if you are a former MLB and you watch film, the guards jump out at you as a weakness. Looks like Corbett to C, 2 new OGs, BC to swing T, Ickey and Moton at starting OTs. I wonder if Evero agreed to Burns, Luvu, YGM, Jackson, and Bell gone. That is almost half the starting 11--gone--we thought they would try to keep them.... I am scared, but hopeful that this ends well. -

He used to face guards every week, so maybe he appreciates the good ones -

I remember thinking, "The panthers should just trade Burns to the Bengals straight up" However, if I look at this WR draft and think "Which would I rather have/do?": A. Sign Higgins and pay him what we would have paid Burns (I hear he wants $25m) B. Draft a WR with the pick you would have given them and pay him $5m) Use the $20m to sign other players. I would go with B

Hard to say with Chase there-but I am also worried that he will not be as good here because Chase was getting the best CBs and S help a lot. Here there is no Burrow. So should he be expected to improve as the X? Yikes--to your point.
-
It is possible that they traded Burns knowing they would use the resources to get Higgins? It seems as if they are going to give Bryce the best protection and a very solid set of WRs. Higgins is a #1 X, Thielen is a slot, Mingo is the Z for now. I think Tremble and Thomas will be the TEs, but there could be a draft pick (Wiley, maybe) or a large WR converted to TE (Claypool, for example). Can the defense survive without burns, Jackson, and Luvu? I think it can if the offense is strong. We can find 10 sacks, we get Thompson back, and Jackson was hurt a lot anyway. And I realize that I could bitch about how bad things are, but we have seen the first day of free agency--I am ready to move on and see what we can do.

Higgins I think he will want a contract similar to what we were going to pay for Burns. 4 years $100m, is my guess

Nyce!

Personally, I was thinking, "If they do this right, they are going to have to burn it down. The entire roster was bad. Keeping Burns and his 10-sack seasons would have kept us from building other things. If you notice, we are building the offense for 2024, to see what we have in Bryce. The truth is, nobody knows how this will turn out--but the Huddle needs to be more than a place for people who are butt hurt to bitch and moan, making the same comments over and over. We get it--you are pissed. It is not going to get better right away because we had some trigger-happy firings and decisions were made impulsively to save the jobs of coaches and front office personnel. This, to me, looks like they have been given more rope and a longer runway. We have a good group of athletes in the draft where our needs are--it is a good year to clean house and rebuild. Yes, we will miss Burns, but the man was not about his teammates, the fans, the organization--he was about Brian Burns. I get it, but any athlete that admits not performing 100% at all times is going to do it again. I think he may have had a reason, as stated before, but a Captain who has odds with the management is probably a cancer.

Trade one of your seconds to Cincy for Tee Higgins
MHS831 replied to MGH1989's topic in Carolina Panthers
The draft is loaded--but yes, I would do that. he is 25. -
Man, now I wish we had not done this and paid $3.3m per sack. (sarcasm) Folks, he was not that great. We get the #39 pick in a very deep draft at positions we need. We get $25m to spend to keep Brown and maybe sign another player. Point? There is another side.

BREAKING: Giants looking to trade for Brian Burns
MHS831 replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
I think there are a lot of things that we do not know. I do not think keeping him was an option. Imagine if they let him hit free agency? Morgan did not make this problem--someone predicted that Burns would only get a third. It is probably going to get ugly before it gets better.- 543 replies

BREAKING: Giants looking to trade for Brian Burns
MHS831 replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
The money is the issue. Now we can get a WR, Brian is not worth $30m per for 5 years. Burns, in Morgan's opinion, was not a dawg and I am guessing that he did not see him as a 3-down OLB. We have YGM and Barno and will likely add an Edge now. With the cap savings, we can also add 2 more need positions. I am disappointed, but I am not blaming Morgan. BB was damaged goods here, and teams were aware.- 543 replies

what makes you say this? I can say that (I used to work Sports at the Observer when in grad school, so I am familiar with the 'behind the scenes' concerns. I worry that she is a bit aggressive, trying to get out ahead of the story--it is competitive now--moreso than it used to be.- 543 replies
