REPORT: Panthers make 3-year contract offer to Greg Van Roten (UPDATE: will not be re-signed)

[Riverboat Ron]

I want off this train. 

[GoPanthers123]

Thanks for not completely dismantling our OLine.  That’s one area I was hoping we would improve this year.

[Eazy-E]

He played better than Trai Turner last season fwiw

Well it was sped up by me being stuck at home and ruminating about the Panthers.

GVR market is $8 million per year, Jourdan Rodrigue mentioned he wants to come back. Maybe Marty will get him under 8 mil

so 15 mil then? got it.

that would kind of mean we need to dismantle our offensive line. No one from this unit should be on the roster outside of Moton. Roten is solid but no way in hell he should be making more than a million per year.

He's an average player. Decent backup, meh as a starter.

That's going to be true regardless of where he signs.

[TheSpecialJuan]

I'm preparing myself to learn that Marty has re-signed GVR 3 years $24 million

Pretty decent at pulling. IDK about the pass pro

If there was one true weak link in the fence last season, it was at left guard. Greg Van Roten had issues in pass protection all year, which wound up affecting both center Matt Paradis and the left tackles. However, Pro Football Focus says Van Roten was actually the team’s most improved player in 2019.

Analytics....

 

(Even though the PFF article says he still wasn't good and we should probably find a better replacement)

Here is the deal, if I understand correctly---we don't lose 2021 comp picks by signing our own players.  GVR, if I am not mistaken, can also play C in a pinch.  He is a serviceable G.  He can pull.  I would not pay more that $4m per, however.  I think you will see a deal in the $5-6m range.  $8m is crazy.

[Jared Patterson]

So many good available lineman in the draft that are way better than GVR.
