Next Extension

[Jared Patterson]

Who do we believe will be the next core player to get an extension from the Carolina Panthers? Will another one POP before the beginning of the season? Scott Fitterer has stated that one was very close (Robby) and another was "heating up." Who could be heating up? Also, with the cap skyrocketing and our situation, we should be able to afford most of these guys.

Options:

DJ Moore

Donte Jackson

Hassan Reddick (TEMPLE)

Jermaine Carter

This year? I feel we may try to extend Donte and wait till next year for DJ. We have some time with the fifth year option. Also, the way we signed Robby to two years is interesting to me...

Im expecting DJ to get around 20 million.

I loved the fact that Robby was only 2 years.  He’s a great receiver, but my main concern was that he’s 28.  Didn’t want to commit to a 4 or so year extension where we’d probably end up cutting him and end up with dead money at the end.  
 

Yeah, next extension has to be DJ or Donte.  I have a feeling DJ is gonna blow up this year so I wouldn’t mind extending him sooner rather than later, tacking on extra years after the 5th year option like we did with CMC.  His price tag will be higher than Donte’s.  Regardless, it’s nice to see the front office extending good offensive players for the first time in awhile.

Has to be DJ. I've been wondering what the plan is for him with Anderson signed now.

We can keep him for 2 seasons at a bargain, so maybe they want to see what Marshall can do before they lock him up--different type of players (Moose/Smitty comparisons) but with Shi Smith showing promise, do we pay DJ in this offense?  I am not 100% sure that is our biggest need--Burns needs money, and Reddick is a stud athlete.  Forget Jackson.

Scott Fitterer said today that they don't feel like it's a pressing need to get another player signed before the season; however, he said he is different from a lot of gms and will negotiate during the year. Also, said Robby's deal is "staggered" like I sated above and won't effect DJ's contract.

Only two that make sense are DJ and Burns.

If you feel strongly I guess you could do Jackson or Carter but your negotiating on half a season of production.

Donte Jackson absolutely does not deserve an extension. 

[Panther53521]

DJ has already getting the 5th year option. So I don’t see DJ getting an extension until next year or later

[Jared Patterson]

The way Fitt talked about the staggered model tells me DJ will be next year. I wonder who the other guy we are looking at to sign during this season. I know the staff absolutely loves Donte, but next years CB draft class and free agency is stacked. I doubt he gets anywhere close to what he wants unless he just goes off, but Snow said he thinks Donte can be a pro bowl CB.
