He's the single most productive pass rusher. 

Thats true, but pass rushers are also the most expensive position other than QB. Given our scheme, I think if we had to, we could find a replacement for him easier than Gilmore. 

Im not arguing that he's not good, but if you had to choose either or, given our defensive scheme I would let him go.

We can sign all 3, easily. The question is whether that money is better spent elsewhere. I'd sign Reddick, no question. You aren't replacing him. Then play semi-hardball with the corners and see who will accept a reasonable, team friendly offer. If neither, roll with Horn, Bouye, Henderson, Hartsfield and Keith Taylor Jr. That's still a good secondary. 

I feel like a 2 year, $20 million contract for Gilmore would make sense and let the young guys grow into their roles. Patrick Peterson is a good comp and he just got 1 year, $8 million. Just not sure if the market will dictate more than that, and if so, not sure if it's worth it.

No reason to let any of them walk out the door, you can restructure long term pieces (CMC, Moton, Shaq, Robby, etc), structure the new contracts to have low year one cap hits (add on void years included), extend players to lower cap hits (DJ Moore), and maybe save some dollars to facilitate a Darnold move (like with Teddy).

The salary cap is not real and the Panthers have acted like it is for too long.

It’s Gilmore (as the one left out) and it’s obvious (unless he takes a team friendly deal).

He’s 31 and has a significant history of injuries.

- Hand Wrist Fracture (5 Games), Inguinal Hip Tear (Off-season Surgery), Inguinal Groin Pull (1 Game), First Concussion (1 Game - Season Finale), Torn Labrum (Final 4 Games - Surgery), Second Concussion (1 Game - Season Finale), Third Concussion (3 Games), Knee Strain (3 Games), Quad Tear (Final 5 Games - PUP List starting 2021)

Not to mention the age wall for CB’s is right around 27 before they start to decline. In 2019 there were 263 players that qualified for PFF’s coverage grading, only 20 of those individuals were over 30 and only 5 ranked in the top 25 in PFF’s grading (Jason McCourty, Devin McCourty, Richard Sherman, Joe Haden, Janoris Jenkins).

Their current contracts are as follows:

Jason McCourty - still an above average player - 1 yr./$1.2M (Dolphins)

Devin McCourty - slightly above average player - 2 yr./$23M (Patriots)

Richard Sherman - below average player - 1 yr./$1.35M (Bucs)

Joe Haden - slightly above average player - 2 yr./$22.4M (Steelers)

Janoris Jenkins - still an above average player - 2 yr./$15M (Titans)

In all likelihood Gilmore will want a Joe Haden contract and the Panthers will want a Jenkins contract. If Gilmore declines you go with the younger player in Donte Jackson or the elite pass rusher in Reddick.

If Gilmore agrees to a Jenkins type contract then you structure it exactly like the Titans did… cap hit of $4.5M in the first year and $10.5 in the second year. With Darnold, Erving, Bouye, and Fox coming off the book next year there would still be plenty of room to re-sign D.J. Moore.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm not saying he should be working in the NFL. He did deserve some criticism as DC there. But Kyle Shanahan certainly did use him as a convenient scapegoat. Now there is no one left to throw under the bus. Anyways he could find his way back to the league in some capacity who knows. But he's old school and in the NFL you either adjust or you get left behind. All the same no hard feelings toward him he's a good guy.

      Is it too early to lock up Horn to a long term deal?

      By CRA · Posted

      he has barely suited up for 50% of our games.  It matters pending how much of our cap and resources go that way.  If he cost in the ballpark of a Surtain? No thank you.  Let someone else  And as far we know what happens when we let talent walk away or trade them…..that’s a mixed bag.   should we of paid Norman, Bradberry at CB? They probably had earned the right to be called better than Horn at that moment of the decision.  Do we regret that? Do we regret Star walking? Can take it back to Spoon.  Flip side is probably Peppers.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By frankw · Posted

      We need to get better in the redzone. And yes that is an issue that involves all the moving parts. Oline receivers QB and playcalling. But Bryce himself has to lead the charge on that or surely we could face another blowout in one of these upcoming games. Every team no matter how good they are is going to face an opponent that imposes their will on them and requires the same in response. Those are the games where we have got to capitalize on drives. Honestly I get the sense that the Chiefs on some level overlooked us.  So while I am pleased we were as competitive as we were it certainly remains to be seen if this was the beginning for something new or just an anomaly. I think that's a perfectly fair take at this juncture.
