 We will see what happens. This is likely his last contract, so he might want to get paid. If someone is willing to overpay($25 mil is that) then you just let him walk. We don't have enough cap space to be throwing out mega backup contracts to people that aren't Ian Thomas.

I doubt it's his last. There are plenty of teams looking for LTs and he's shown he can do the job. Linemen can play well into their 30's. Barring injury, I'd suspect this next one is his big 4 year contract and would be followed by a reserve role one after.

Well, as referenced in this very thread, there are only two active OL above 34 years of age. So, it is very possible that this could he his last contract, given that he will be 29 at the start of next season.

It's not on the radar, until it's a hole. Mind you, solid RT's are certainly easier to find than solid LT's. It's also an area where you should be able to get someone in the late 1st through early 3rd and have them potentially be starting caliber. 

As for BC's contract, are you talking about with us or in general?

 

In general about BCs contract, I don't see panthers resigning him.

It's more than fair for you, I think you already stated 4-7mill per was your guess. He's on the bench currently which hurts his value and the bet is for 8 per no matter the team.

Deal?

Icky needs to stay at LT. Brady is the moving piece we need to bounce all over. keep him doing that and keep Mays at center. 

you need to keep BC free to move around. 

Less line disruption that way when he needs to be inserted into the lineup.
