DL depth at both positions really needed to be addressed in free agency, I'm sure everyone would feel more comfortable if we got another DE before the draft as well

Jason Jones could be someone to watch.  He's been a guy who's good and produces but just not someone identifiable as a long term starter.  Johnson, Ealy, & Addison are the only for sures in our rotation and Addison is situational/passing downs.  Cox/Miley/Delaire/Horton are competing and it'd be very nice to get someone to push that group even more.

Interesting. BIG DT wasn't fit w/Quinn's system in ATL. RT @Rand_Getlin: I'm told defensive tackle Paul Soliai is visiting the #Panthers.

 

how much will he want?

 

Good question.  He will get about $4m from the birds over the next 2 years, I am guessing he will be offered a 2-year, $5m deal. It will be interesting to see.  This is Star depth (so if we sign him, Love looks to be gone).  In addition, it may be a hint that we draft a 3 tech DT.

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
