BC sounding like he's gonna go get his bag

[TD alt]

I'll just put it this way, I wouldn't put money on Brady Christensen returning. Though never a cemented fixture on the line, he may be difficult to replace. 

 

"While Christensen has great value, there's also a decent chance he can make more money by signing with another team. For one thing, there's no clear path for Christensen to start, which he hasn't done consistently since he played left guard in 2022. Panthers fans should prepare for the possibility that he will wind up leaving in free agency. When he spoke with reporters on locker cleanout day, he said he wants to test the market but would not mind returning, ultimately wanting to make the best choice for his family, per David Newton at ESPN."

He deserves a higher payday for sure, but what's that going to look like?

On an off note, we can't let BC and Ekwonu ultimately walk. That's not what responsible franchises do. For those bringing up Ickey, you better appreciate that man. He's not perfect, but is a far cry from dog poo.

Most FAs take the most money being offered. Just the way it is. If he has an opportunity out there to compete for a starting spot he should take it. I don't blame him.

[Basbear]

Seee @kungfoodude he's going to GET PAID!!!.........wait a minute............checks author.........

[Panthero]

Hes older too, so he's likely only getting one more contract. 

[Tr3ach]

He's going to get paid somewhere and be offered a starting spot, he's gone.

[pantherclaw]

He should absolutely go get paid. 

[PNW_PantherMan]

Gonna have to let him walk and draft a replacement.  He will get paid big time in FA to start

What might we expect in the way of comp picks.  

[Shocker]

He is so fuggin overrated on this board it’s not funny.

If the sign a bunch of FA'S they will get nothing.

He is 29.  Never earned a starting gig he could hold.  Decent value as a swing T, but we played him at G and C.   He is not a necessity, and you gotta lose some to gain some.

Go figure.

I think we need to draft a T to replace BC as a top swing T (Nijman is not the answer) and eventual Moton replacement.  Moton's knees (knee issues on a big man are not good) and when we sign Ickey, Moton's contract could be an issue if we cannot extend him.  Always plan ahead for unseen circumstances.  If you think the agents don't know when you are vulnerable, you would be wrong for thinking the agents don't know when you are vulnerable.

Good thread.  I would like to see us analyze the S situation, the LB situation, DTs, and the OLB /edge situation soon.

Given his rookie salary and low playing time percentage i would think nothing.

Comp picks are based on the contract they sign elsewhere. We got a third round comp pick for Norwell and he was a UDFA.
