Oh good.I was worried the Soilai signing meant we had decided to move on from him due to him wanting too much money or something. Even though that is certainly the reason he hasn't re-signed here yet at least we are keeping open a dialogue.

This guy single handedly allowed us to rest Star when he was injured and not rush him back until he was 100%. Although there was a drop-off, I don't think it was anywhere near as much as many of us expected when we heard Star was out for a few weeks. He deserves to come back and be a part of the rotation. His ability to be a wall in our defense allows Short and CJ to do wthat they do best.

Damn, I forgot Love was 29.  Would like to see him back, but a rookie DT to groom (and be an insurance policy) would be nice as well. 

Would like to see Gman take a DE in the first couple rounds then a DT later on as an insurance for Star since there is a chance we may not be able to keep him and KK short on long term deals.

I haven't had time to look, but didn't Soilai have some injury issues?  Could be another reason to continue talks with Love.

Gettleman says Panthers are still talking with free agent DT Kyle Love.

 

David Newton ‏@DNewtonespn 31m31 minutes ago

The Panthers continue to talk to veteran defensive tackle Kyle Love about bringing him back.

 

Would love to have Love back in the rotation.

A little reserve this time on the announcement Leroy ;)

If we sign Love, that will A) solidify our DT position, B) help narrow the draft field and help with prioritization.  If signed, this will probably signal DG's view of the DTs in the draft.  Either the value will not be there by the time our name is called and DG will not reach or like in the past, DG thinks the value of what we signed is greater than the value of what is in the draft or future potential.

Has only missed 4 games total in the last 6 years, but I believe he went down in the week 16 game against the Panthers and didn't return last year so you might be thinking of that. It was related to something he was dinged up with at the end of last season, but I really don't remember what though I want to say a muscle strain(hammy or quad). I think they then shut him down for week 17 with nothing to play for.

Oh, okay.  I was mistaken then.
