Jeremy Fowler: Panthers aren’t eager to trade Diontae Johnson

[ProcessBlue2]

Johnson is 30, so you're not getting a spring chicken but he's a damn good WR. His market value per SportTrac is 10m/yr. If you can get him on a 3yr/30-35m deal go for it. 

If Adams is going for a Day 2 pick, Johnson's value is Day 3. Chances are Thielen will be a cap cut this season, so Johnson will be a good veteran in the room with Legette, Coker, and whoever else.

Someone earlier said that if we can't resign him and he walks, we get a comp pick.  If true (and I am not sure how that works), then we should keep him around till the end of the year if anyone offers only a 4th.  

The comp pick is dependent on how many FA you sign and their contract value. You cannot count on that unless you play for it and not sign anyone other than scrubs with cheap contracts. Even then it counts against you as it may turn into a 7th round pick or none at all.

Someone said he was making 20 million or so now. Maybe he isn't costing us that due to a prorated signing bonus like we are dealing with, with Bryce Young? Where we are on the hook for all of Bryce's signing bonus if we move him.

Johnson just turned 28 this past July so he has plenty of gas left in the tank.

Why do you guys always try to add extra years on these WRs?

 

He's 28 bro

I don't see why not. This team is going nowhere. I would say to look for them to be playing backups soon but that's what they've done all season so far so that won't change. Maybe after they pull Bryce once again you might see Plummer a few games.

IF we can sign DJ for $10 million a year then I'm down.  He is a good WR2 and gives us a weapon that doesn't need any developing.

If at all avoidable, that should no way be the plan.

He needs to get out there and take a hit and learn to trust his repair at least. You don't want to wait a whole offseason and then have some kind of setback. 

It'll be like that micro fracture poo with Foster... (that was Foster right?)

edit: So they are probably in trade talks for Diontae it looks like.

When did I call him old? I said he wasn't a spring chicken meaning he isn't Jalen Coker's age. This is his 6th season in the NFL and next year (first under a new contract) would be his 7th.

You have to be trolling right now.

 

First you lied about his age by calling him 30.

 

Second he's still in his prime. This dude isn't slowing down anytime soon.

 

What point are you making sir?

There isn't enough talent here to let him walk. I think you try to sign him on a 3 year deal without the deal being outrageous. Only way you let him go is a 2nd round pick IMO.
