What the hell? This makes no sense at all, dude was a 2nd team all-pro last year and is a beast. They have a lot of guys they'd have to let walk soon because of the cap but why not keep him this season and get the same 3rd round comp pick the next year?

I don't really get it at all to be honest unless he did something to piss Belichick off

And we haven't traded our comp pick because....?

In all seriousness, bizarre move at best without knowing the context, when you think about it maybe we will see some change in philosophy moving forward.

Getts has set the expectation for draft day trade ups, (I don't recall any trading down) so perhaps this is apart of our approach in the next draft, having more fuel to trade up is a good thing.

I think this up and coming draft played a role. This draft is loaded with talent. I also believe this draft played a role for releasing Josh Norman.

Railroading yourself into not being able to sign quality free agents so you can pick up a sweet, sweet late round pick a couple years from now isn't really something successful teams hungrily chase after.

They don't have the cap room to go out and sign any quality free agents anyways, otherwise they'd have just put the money towards Collins and Chandler Jones before trading him. They're contenders this year and let their best defensive player go for literally nothing.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
