MHS831

If you look at Spotrac, all of our signings are slated to make no more than about $3m. So, that means we have spent about $17m toward the cap. I think. I don't consider myself an expert--I just tried to figure out the site.

does anyone know terms yet?

About the 4 year contract: RBs are not getting second contracts that easily. Instead of top $$, we can give longer security. Miles will be 26 in May, and we can get out of this in 2025 if we want.

SOUNDS like a nickname given when he was a baby

Have we ever had a free agency period during which we found 5 starters (TE, RB, C, S, DL) and perhaps the best backup QB in the league? I still expect a WR.

Gotta remember that Philly had a Great OL, but: Ran for 1200 yards Has ability to catch out of backfield 25 years old 5'11" 210

Would I want a QB who, just about a month ago, claimed he was 90% retired and crawled into a hippy cave of blackness for several days to contemplate how he is the greatest Green Bay Packer ever? Hard pass.

He is telling us who he is---we just need to listen.

And I would not trade for a headache or problem when I can sign a free agent and get a headache or a problem for free.

I think they need a vet and a rookie. Their lack of urgency suggests that is their plan--or they are waiting for a contract to drop---are they negotiating with Odell?

I still would not be surprised to see us sign Odell--we are almost at the point where we have little choice--just restructured Hekker--so are we looking for loose change in the sofa cushions? Hmmmm. I am not sure how I feel about it-like saying "Beetlejuice" 3 times.

Chark, Hardman, Landry, and Beckham....

Yes--if you are going after bargains, there has to be more risk. That is how you get a good deal--invest in the player, he gets healthy, and you have a quality player.

Usually when a player tries to tell you who they are at this time of their career, you should listen.

Pick #39

If Spotrac is correct and I am reading it correctly, we have about $18m of cap room left ($10-12 for rookies) BEFORE paying Hurst--(so estimate about $15-14m, leaving about $3m.) The Shaq Thompson restructure does not seem to be on the books yet--so maybe add $10m? Maybe someone who knows this stuff can figure it out. Rounded 2023 cap figures: Bell $3m Tuttle $3m Bozeman $3m Dalton $2m Hurst $??? https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/cap/

On page 3 or 4 of this thread, I wrote "I am guessing $22m/3 years." I was wrong. Seriously--he was given an annual value of $6.8m on Spotrac and I read somewhere else that his value was around $9m per. It seems a bit steep, but I am not sure they had a lot of interest in many other free agent TEs...Dunno Manhertz got $3m per. TE is a position people are valuing more now.

JuJu off the board for $11m per.

And of course, the NFL Network thinks this is ALL they need to talk about today- Yesterday and Monday they kept getting Updates from Dallas--when the lady said, "I will repeat: the Cowboy strategy is to build through the draft--not big players in free agency." Yet they dropped in on the Cowboy reporter every hour. Unreal.

they look like brothers.

Now, after saying all that, I would like for some photographic proof that your WIFE is going with you to KC to watch the draft. That would never happen in the MHS household. Just need a pic of you with the first overall pick--no photoshopping.

Take the information or not, folks. It is not Casillias' job to verify his information for you--he is not trying to troll or mislead you--not his style---take the info or leave it, but badgering him like some $20 attorney is not cool.

Offensive Priorities in order QB (Draft) WR (2--free agent, draft) RB (free agent) T (depth) TE (depth, pass catching) It is hard for me to tell with the defense. YGM is probably a pass-rushing DE or a run-stuffing Edge. Chinn is probably going to play nickel and the in-the-box S when they run the 3 S looks--so may players are hybrids, it is hard to gauge it in a depth chart format.

have terms been announced?

Whoever it is we pick, they will be coached up. I think it is Stroud 50% Young 30% Levis 10%, and AR 10%. But criticizing (implied) Stroud because his WRs were open when he hits them in the #s is silly. That could be because the DBs can't predict what Stroud is going to do or that he was not telegraphing. Who knows.
