Center Matt Paradis to Carolina/$27mm/3 years/$13.5mm guaranteed

[Proudiddy]

Those worried about his injury...  FWIW, he was on Good Morning Football on NFLN this morning and said he is ahead of schedule.  I want to say that he said he's expected to be cleared for the summer.  They showed him doing some resistance work and running steps already.

I'm ecstatic!

What can our local cap experts tell us about this? Good or bad?

Some of them say that DWill isn't worth top 10 OT money because he is coming off of a leg injury but are in this thread applauding this move 

 

(it's a good move, just funny how it's ok for Paradis but not DWill)

Torn ligament vs broken bone

2 different injuries 

 

Though still makes me a little nervous

 

Bene Benwikere wasnt the same after breaking his leg.  Different position but still

He is coming off injury... is it a risk worth taking?

Didn’t Bene admit he was straight out of shape more than anything?

Not one of them, but I would LOVE to bring Daryl back...

Just sounded like initially he was wanting #1-tackle-on-the-market-money, which I didn't think was fair.  Paradis was the best C on the market and just took less than Morse by 2 Mil per.  It looks like Daryl has realized his value wasnt quite what he thought, considering his injury, but I still think he ends up elsewhere.

I’m pretty sure you’re right. He said as much in an interview right after a bad game and was cut shortly after.

Seems 75% of football players in general return to their previously level of play.

Was not expecting this. C was a bigger need than OT

[KillerKat]

Sweet. Keep building up that line. This organization owes it to Cam to invest heavily there.

Very nice. Big need checked off.  I hope they'll give Larsen a chance to compete at LG now.

Yeah.  This could be a 2 for 1.  If Larsen can step up at LG also.  

Great signing.  H2O

Apparently we are paying him 11.25M in year 1?

That broken fibula would have a bigger effect on a guy who’s position requires speed.  Like a CB. 

I would be more concerned about Cockrell.  But at least Cockrell has had a ton of time to rehab since he broke it so early.
