Figured as much. I like it. Let him play the season out under the tag and hopefully at the same time Butler develops into a suitable replacement. Let someone else back up the Brinks truck for a DT who will be knocking at the door of 30 years old at that time.

As soon as Cox signed that deal in Philly I figured signing Short long-term was a pipe dream. Hell, I think Gettleman knew it before then, hence the drafting of Butler.

This just gives Getty reason to draft his DT at 8. And, you know, we really couldn't even be mad at him.

They can still get something done, and perhaps this is but a game being played out, but I'm disappointed. You never know where dragging things out will end up. Will there be a media thing?

I can see both sides hunkering down. Remember G-man's optimism that something would get done...?

well it sucks we can't sign him long term, but if he'll sign the tag, we are set up pretty well to lose him in 2018.  Also, with KK (birthday today) eating biggest chunk of our cap space, we can sign everyone else we want and be a big player in FA.

Getty says he doesn't like to develop players for other teams, but this is 2 in a row.

also,

 

  1. Rivera added that he wants to improve depth along the O-line. Said he's "pretty optimistic" about working something out with Kawann Short.

Just because you franchise tag a player doesn't mean the extension talks cease. I'm not sure when the deadline to apply the tag is, but it's almost always before teams work out the extension. 

Von Miller was franchised last year, until the worked out his extension. So to say there isn't still ''optimism'' is a bit of a reach at this point, March isn't even here. 

However I think the Butler pick was made knowing we would have an easier time extending Star since space eaters don't command the money interior pass rushers do. And with Butler we also get the 5th year option down the road if he becomes a rusher on par with Short. 

I think for as much flack as we give DG, he's the GM a team like this needs, he has his faults, but he's building a sustainable roster. We just need a break on a tackle in free agency, I feel good about WIlliams, but Oher's long term health is a concern, and I think Remmers returns as depth.

And pick Montravious Adams in the 2nd round and we're golden!  ;)

The only DT worth a top 10 pick is Allen and if he's sitting there at 8 I hope I see DG's fat flopping up and down over his belt as he furiously runs to the podium to submit Allen's name.

(P.S. Yes, I know DG isn't the one actually at the draft submitting the draft card.)

Well, in order to achieve success with your primary runner being the RB, you have to actually have a successful and creative NFL-level passing scheme.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

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

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
