Trade or wait for cuts?

What would you do if you were Hurney? Time is running out. I don't feel like we are going to make a trade once the season starts and teams have their rosters set. Right now they might make a trade because they can get something out of it and live with a guy that they might otherwise be forced to cut.

My big issue with it is that I don't think that we are going to get anyone even remotely close to Kemo's ability to stop the run if we wait for cuts. The guys that get cut IMO are not going to be starting caliber NTs.

Lots of 295-310LB DT's being released today...

I know but are they going to be good enough to get our run defense back to where it was with Kemo?

We also have to consider that Kemo was injured for the end of last season too. He is a huge person and maybe his body isn't going to be what it once was after this injury.

Wellllllll, since we have gotten into the habit of trading draft picks, and we have literally no cap room, I think that we will have to pick up a cast off.

The problem is, some of the better ones will choose to go somewhere where they can make some money, sadly, we don't have any.

what if they were given a back end loaded contract?

Wouldn't it be silly to agree to one of these since most likely one would not see the heavy pay year(s) due to getting cut or replaced?

I'm not very knowledgeable on how the contract stuff works so just curious.

No decent DT is going to agree to one, as they may only be a stop gap until Kemo is back next season.

We need a good DT, not just a big body. Everyone saw what happens when we don't have a 2 gap player in the lineup, last season.

We are in a bind big time.

It goes back to drafting.

i was thinking like a 2, maybe 3, year contract. player makes a minimum now. if he does well and we ask him to return he gets an increase, and then the same for a possible 3rd year.

edit: i'm talking about those that get cut. not ones for trade

Makes more sense that way, but I would think we'd be hard pressed to find someone of quality with a condition like that. No?

I think we are going to wait. I would love to bring in Williams but I think we will wait. I honestly don't think a defensive tackle is going to solve much. It may help a little in the run game but whoever it is probably will get pulled off the field in passing situations (unles we trade for Williams). This defense is just lost right now and they need to find some identity. The Broncos were fired up and jumping around last night and I haven't seen our defense do that at all this preseason, except on the Brayton sack which was the best play from the defense all preseason.

I hear ya, and that would be great, but not gonna happen.

You can certainly get a scrub to agree to that, but not a decent talent. And we need more than just a decent talent to keep OL off of our SUPER expensive LB corps.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
