Someone want to tell NBC?

Panthers signed EDGE Jadeveon Clowney, formerly of the Ravens, to a two-year, $20 million contract.

Ian Rapoport was first with the scoop and Adam Schefter later added the contract details. Clowney most recently played in Baltimore, racking up 9.5 sacks and nine TFLs in his only season as a Raven. Now C'mon nbc...catca mercenary, Clowney has played for four different teams in five years since finishing out his rookie contract with the Texans. Even at 31 years old, Clowney is still a top-end pass-rusher who excels as the foil to another elite EDGE. He will join Brian Burns in Carolina to create a formidable pass-rush for a Panthers defense looking to retool after a disappointing 2023 campaign.

Lol c'mon NBC...catch up

He had a really good year last season

That's really shitty journalism. The trade happened, 2-3 weeks ago? and NBC still thinks Burns is here.  NBC is bad on politics and apparently, they suck at sports too.

It's hard to remain optimistic based on the last 5 years.  Too many coaches and too many QBs. 

We let Burns go to NYG and freed up 24 million.  With that 24 Million we addressed three positions on the defense.  Jewell, Robinson and Clowney for basically the same price.   So we gave up Burns, swapped 5ths and got pick 39 and 166 and Jewell, Robinson and Clowney.  That IMO makes the Burns deal pretty damn good.

I think he can help the defense out good pickup

Good signing, now go get Gilmore.

[DaveThePanther2008]

You gotta believe Evero mind is spinning a mile a minute with the new talent we have brought to this team.  I think he will get the most out of these players and our defense is going to be really good.  I hope he has a great assist who will take over his reign when he gets promoted to HC.

I know he's there too but the three I listed come to 24 Million.  Give or take a Million.

Gotta say i like this...still not getting overly excited tho. With all things considered the defense wasnt much of problem last year. THe improvement will come from the offense and we just gonna have to wait on that.

Not bad value if he can get 6-8 sacks each season and be effective rushing. 

Should be a good, if not great, upgrade against the run as well. That's nice.

2/20. YGM got 2/18. Here for it!

I wasn't super pumped in the signing but that does make it seem like a big get in that context. Thanks for that perspective.
