Free Agent Talk - Chase Blackburn

[Diehardpanther02]

He can go.

[London Loves Luke]

Now why you gotta go and say something like that man? Don't even SPEAK of it!

 

I know you're joking but look at Seattle as a blueprint for a team that continued to win with Wagner and Chancellor out. Championship teams don't put all their eggs in one basket, regardless of how handsomely wrapped that basket comes. 

 

 

 

 

No homo.

[ThPantherFan]

I'm not so sure.  Experience means a lot in that position.  Not saying the young bucks didn't do so well because they did.  I'm just a little gun shy.  1million freed up money does talk.  Hmmm. I'd have to think about this one.

[L-TownCat]

Agreed although Klein seems to be in the Luke position where he is ok on the outside but would really shine in the middle.  Outside chance we could use that pitch to acquire another pick or package for a LT?

[BIGH2001]

Gone

[PanthersBigD]

A well liked, versatile veteran presence for a million bucks. I'd say he's worth keeping around another season.

[@bonafidebanter]

He gone.

This is what good GM's do.

 

They find talent late in the draft so they don't have to pay veteran role players.

 

You let him walk.

[PantherFeez]

Vet minimum would pay Chase around 900k in actual cash but only charge our cap about 600k. If he did that, then it's a no brainer to bring him back for special teams alone

Pretty much.

[Mr. Scot]

Chase is the kind of guy you love having on your roster, but sadly his value as an on the field player are likely diminished now due to age and injury.

 

It's fun to consider if maybe he can stay on in some other capacity, but I doubt it.

no reason to keep him around.. especially with the 'Speed' comments from RR and Getts

Though I feel the brunt of those comments were meant about the offense, I agree
