Yep, he is 29. He still has some years left in him. If he does not want top of the league money and wants something reasonable I see no reason to not try to sign him for a few years here. We should at least explore with his agent right now what he is thinking and what it would take. I simply would not trade him and would use the season to evaluate and form an offer while remaining in contact with he and his agent to see what we can work out. To me it's worth the risk to watch, evaluate and see what happens. If he walks then we lose a later round pick and everyone knows we have thrown those away like crazy already as well as high round picks. Nobody is giving us a high round pick for him so to me it's worth the risk of not acquiring some later round pick for him to see what we can get done with him as well as watch him the rest of the season.

Saying this team has years before competing is being nice…I don’t think it’ll happen ever with Tepper here but with that said I don’t see a reason to keep him and would rather the new staff have more picks.

If they trade Johnson, then they should have just left Bryce in. Team morale would tank immediately. The team knows he's the guy just like everyone else. Johnson is a huge part of XL and Mingo's development. If he doesn't want to re-sign next season, then tag him and trade him then. He'll be worth a lot more after 1000 yards and 10 TDs.

Couple good points in there. If we can't sign him, pump his numbers all the way make him real attractive.

Our guys are two games behind everybody else numbers wise. Dalton has 5 TD passes, double them with two more games his one behind the league leaders.

Not to rude about it but I just think you are wrong. Canales was the first step towards digging out of this poo. 

We could be turned around and headed up the ladder as soon as next year. 

They did okay in their 1st FA and trading, and that focused on offense. Morgan should know who can play defense. We're going to have to weather whatever transition there is from Evero at some point probably. That's where we could hit a snag, if there is new scheme.

Tag next year for WR is 25 million. While I would love to work out a deal with him for 2-3 years at 20yr a tag is not the worst idea.  You’d get to keep him for the season. If if you moved on from him in the off-season he’d prob still could get traded for a mid round pick. And if you stick with him and play the tag out gives XL and Mingo another year to keep devolving.  I hadn’t thought to tag him but not the worst idea.

After this first half if we use that 20mil I wanted to spend on him to address our front 7 instead of using on a wideout I’m not mad about it.

Yea. I think this thread is even more relevant then more we continue to lose. 

I say trade his ass. Full rebuild 

 We shouldn't be handing anyone any big contracts 

MAYBE resign if he wants a reasonable deal but I debuted it. He probably wants to get out of Carolina anyway .

      Yeah I think they are wanting to let XL and Coker develop, but I don't see nothing wrong with a speed guy on day 2

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By Basbear · Posted

      Finding that dance partner will be difficult and who's to say the team trading up has not offer a package to 5th, 6th, 7th??? They did and were turned down most likely.    I still feel 8th is the hot spot for OT run. If you want the best OT/OL in the draft, 8th is the way.    *But Ive been reading lots of Jets and others having Membou as their pick. Banks and Campbell are right there in great value terms. The whole deal is that pick for the Panthers, they are not looking to spend a top resource on OL, 31 other teams are.    I've also been seeing sanders falling out of the top ten, I just have a hard time buying that. ALso seen dart being drafted in the top ten. FYI last year NO ONE had a 1st round grade on Bo Nix and many thought Michael Penix Jr. was at best late 1st early 2nd. I laugh hard at the failcons drafting Penix at 8th, but I stopped laughing during that week 18 game.... he looked legit......barf....  So... one team could easily trade up for sanders or dart or begin the OL run or Jeanty causes a stir as he falls.  There are legit options, Brandt and Dan get paid for this...

      I'm with you.  Even an extra 3rd would help.  None of the players you listed are elite though.  Sadly there are very few of those in this draft, but there are a lot of good players in the late first and into the second. We need to realize that we can't get all our needs in this year's draft.  We know we need some sort of edge, a safety, and I feel we need to use one of first 4 picks on a CB, preferably 3rd at latest.  And I want to draft an OT in 3rd to learn behind Moton this year. The extra 2nd would be huge.  2 things Bear Hands has noted in other threads, we can get a rusher in the mid rounds of the first, and if a good LT is available at our pick we should be able to get a deal. I'm ok.  If the media takes are close, trading back to around 15 should get us a second, and since our second is near the end of that round, getting one earlier opens up a whole lot of opportunities.  Either way, Canales builds his infrastructure with this draft.  Next year, with all our picks and probably picking somewhere between 10 and 15, we can get real stars.   All of this depends on hitting on picks this year.
