Shaq signed to 4 year extension through 2023

[vorbis]

I’ve been hoping for years that the Panthers would build their scheme to match their personnel instead of the other way around with the 3-4/4-3 stuff. this feels like a step in that direction. I like the 4 year term as well. thumbs up for this deal from me.

Clearly Shaq and Hurney are having an affair. Ron must have been the one standing in the way and Tepper, believing in the idea of true love, removed the barrier from the equation.

It all makes sense now

[RumHam]

Yeah tepper is going to ruin this franchise so it can be moved

We are paying $15M a year to a guy that sucks and does not fit our system......

Said it weeks ago it would take 15m a season to resign him.

shaq is low key playing better than luke this year. he can perform in a 3-4 and a 4-3 and plays in both base sets and nickel packages. he's the best pass rusher not on the DL and has no real weaknesses in his game.

13mil a year is a chunk of change but if you're looking to secure a framework of good players on which to rebuild this is a logical way to start.

But the huddle scouts said he sucks.

This is what an extra 19 million allows you to do

This is actually Hurney's worst move in a decade

Indefensible

 

Lol this isn’t even one of his 10 worst moves in a decade. Drama queen much?

[Shocker]

Shaq is a proven commodity and 25.  Good move here.

did you just multiply the number of teams by 3 because uh that's not really a good metric 

It’s just an average. Some teams have 4 playing at one time, some 3 and even 2 if they are playing nickel. Either way, he’s not in the top 10% of all LBs.

I'm not sure I would've re-signed anyone before getting a coaching staff in place. Why commit major money to players the new staff may or may not be high on?

This just doesn't make sense.

It only makes sense to me....if Tepper already knows who the coach is going to be and has had a conversation about it.

I'm kind of hoping that we're also talking to Bradberry.

I feel fairly comfortable saying that if the result of the next offseason is that we paid this much for Thompson but let Bradberry get away, people will probably be... miffed.

This was the type of deal I was expecting for Bradberry. I'm not sure they can afford two deals at this price, even with the cap carry over.

He doesn’t suck, but he’s high key been a touch below Luke and he always will be. Luke is the quarterback of our defense in a manner which no other LB has to be.
