DJ Chark visiting Panthers

[MHS831]

Signing Chard helps the draft unfold:

We really need to find a nickel CB to keep Horn outside and Henderson as the fourth WR.  Henderson needs to replace Jackson when he gets hurt during the National Anthem of week 2.

I really think the plan is to find an OLB Edge (the draft is pretty deep at OLB/Edge) and then we can take a look at ILB with Luvu (situationally?) Smith, Thompson, and maybe Chinn (situationally).  I think we will still draft ILB later.

I think we'd be better off addressing WR in free agency and then looking WR next year.  I also think we have 3 WRs who need time to develop to see what we have (TMJ, Shenault, and Smith--maybe even the two from the PS_)

Not to read too much the pressers, but finesser seemed at peace with how things turned out and not in a rush to fill more spots. Its only one full week into free agency and others can still be cut now, june 1st, and right after the draft. 

Also peeettty sure hes sent offers to chark and hardman.....they seem to think theres mystery teams or more money available, theres not until TC injuries. Thats too risky for my taste.

Concerning Chark, I think its down to Detroit and Carolina.  If we offer $10m per, we outbid Detroit, the way understand it (according to Detroit media).

Yeah, I mean....I really want Chark but I would be a little concerned about $10 mil unless it was a deal with an early out.

I like everything about D.J. Chark but admit his injury history bothers me.

I wonder how big a  concern it is to the Panthers and how it affects the amount they are willing to pay him?

Could be, seems like it's mainly the right ankle he has recurring issues with

He did come off IR and finish the season last year so that's a good sign. It's not like he needed another surgery or anything

Hopefully, the Panthers do a lot of research on his injuries. The last thing they need to do is tie up money in a player that stays on injuried reserve.

I posted in the wrong thread: according to Rapsheet trade talks for Hopkins are eating up. Cooks compensation should be a similar offer for Hopkins.

I would think an incentive based contract would be necessary for Chark. You play this percentage of games, you get the full amount. I’m not sure how it all works, but it seems if he’s wanting other teams to bet on him, he should also bet on himself to stay healthy.

I've seen a couple of analysts say the relatively low compensation The Cowboys had to give up for Cooks was going to make it harder for the Cardinals to get a great package in return for Hopkins.

The problem with Hopkins isn't what we trade, since we've shown under Fitt that we will trade for anyone. The problem is working his salary into our budget.

If the saints can sign carr after being in negative cap and with out huge amount of space next year, I think we could figure out a way to get him. But maybe it’s him not wanting to rework and push some salary out?
