Oh boy, here we go throwing money away again.  Dunlap will not put this team defense on his back and turn it into an elite unit.  At this point the 2022 Panthers are what they are. Adding older, more expensive pieces here or there is just eating up more rollover cap money for next year.  Rhule will never learn.

This would make sense on a bunch of levels!! Rather he started or came off the bench, he would help Burns and Gross in the defensive end room. The other pass rushers are more only linebackers only  but his wisdom would be welcomed.

Productive veteran player that you can get for a year for cheap.  He’s not expected to come in and play every down, but moreso to provide depth.  How anyone could see this is a negative is beyond me

Great defenses always add veteran pieces who can still perform at a high level.  This team especially needs vets for the locker room.  Dunlap would be a great addition and fill a huge need for us.  Plus - he can drop into coverage and play the run.  Dude had 7 sacks in his final 5 games last season once his playing time increased.

Let's see the contract numbers and then I'll tell you if it's a positive or negative.  Again, this roster is 99% built.  So unless we find an elite level QB somewhere, adding a piece here or there isn't going to move the needle much at all and just digging us in a deeper cap hole for next year.

It's not about putting the defense on his back. We literally lack pass rushers. TBH, Dunlap would probably be our best all-around DE if he signed with us. 

I don't want to see a long term or high priced deal but he would immediately make our defense better.

      Team Cap Space: $35,099,731 (per OTC)

      Panthers are clearly not worried about cap space so why are we?

      Other than being the offseason and there isn't much to talk about, why does anyone worry about the cap? We can do whatever we want and still have cap space. You don't think the front office hasn't already figured it out and what they intend to do. Me I am just sitting back and watching. After all my job isn't on the line if we lose. Although at my age we don't have forever if I am going to live to see us play in another superbowl

      Tee Higgins Smoke...

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I get the TD's and I pointed it out, but like I said, when Burrow had more than double the TD's than Geno had, I think Higgins increased TDs compared to DK was more a product of Burrow and the Bengals offense than because of him vs DK as WRs. When one of their QB's finished 4th in MVP voting despite missing the playoffs and the other was just traded for a late 3rd round pick and replaced by Sam Darnold, I think that's a tough narrative to brush aside to just look at raw stats as well. Again, swap DK and Higgins last year, do you honestly believe DK wouldn't have put up better stats than Higgins did? Contracts and trade compensation aside, I'm taking DK over Higgins 100 out of 100 times, there is no debate about it for me.
