J Elliot is a beast in the slot i hope we bring him back . 

One of Marty's better off-season transactions, Bucs didn't tender Elliott, he became an UFA and Panthers got him on a really cheap 1-year deal.

Wouldn't mind seeing the Panthers take a look at Blake Martinez

McCoy is a great guy and would always be awesome to have in the locker room... But I have to agree with MHS

He had 5 sacks and 15 tackles playing 68% of the defensive snaps. 

He was rushing the passer and not giving that much concern about his gap responsibility.  As players get older, they have to cheat.  He was cheating the run to get the sacks--that is what the stats suggest anyhow.  

And he is turning 32 in a month... It's only going to get worse from here. 

I know we lost KK last year/were terrible on d all around/etc but when a DT is playing 68% of the snaps and your team's run defense is one of the very worst in the league... Just doesn't look too good.

Disagree on Bradberry, I think we have to pay him. If we let him go, who's going to play corner? Especially considering Donte's inconsistency so far. Price tag might end up being too much but I'd hope we at least try to keep him. He's not an elite corner, but he's been solid against some pretty stiff competition.

I literally didn’t see him get beat that often last year at all . Usually teams kill us from the slot not this year and he the reason why . A solid 2 year deal we need to get it done

Bradberry wants to be paid like a top corner without top corner play

would like to resign McCoy but i wont be hurt if he left

Team needs to get younger faster and smarter on Defense

[Shocker]

Bradberry and Boston will resign IMO.  They’ll cost some doe too especially Bradberry

We were gashed vs. the run.  If he only had 10 tackles that weren't sacks, and he was in the game 2/3 of the time, that means he made less than 1 tackle per game.  He was rushing the passer and not giving that much concern about his gap responsibility.  As players get older, they have to cheat.  He was cheating the run to get the sacks--that is what the stats suggest anyhow.  How much did those 15 tackles cost us?  Were the 15 tackles (5 of which were sacks) worth the long runs through his gap?  I would say "nosireee bob!"

I agree with you but 8 million a year for McCoy isn’t bad. Assuming that we could get him again for that price tag. We have nothing after Short. We are looking at losing not one, not two but three DTs this offseason.

That is more than $500,000 for each tackle.  I am not a fan of the idea, but we are very thin at DT

[PantherPhann89]

We should resign Boston definitely,  McCoy next. Bradberry depends on contact. Here is good but not as good as he thinks. He's had the benefit of looking good because his opposite CB was targeted at a higher level.

I prefer Vernon Butler over McCoy, but I have big concern about the guy. He has had some off the field issues. Has struggled until this past season. Butler could really get a team out there somewhere that is willing to give him 10 million a year. I like Butler at 8 million a year but I’m scared.

Tre, outside of his typical horrible angles, was easily our most consistent player in the secondary.

And yes, CBs get paid more than Safteys. Shocker. 

That's pretty scary

[Carolina Cajun]

There were Gatorade coolers on the sideline who were better linemen than daryl William's.  Ron broke him by bringing him back early and getting him re-injured. I hope he rebounds somewhere, just not here.

They gone.

[Davidson Deac II]

Elliot will be relatively cheap and might be back.  Boston and Bradberry will depend on what they want and what the new staff thinks of them.  Mccoy might decide he wants to go to a contender, and would probably be good depth at a team that is on the cusp.  But if he wants to come back relatively cheap, I wouldn't be opossed.  I don't see Williams coming back.
