REPORT: Panthers interested in Khalil Mack

[d-dave]

If Morgan gives big, real money in a long term, guaranteed deal...oh boy...that's a bad move.  He has to know that.  This screams more off season BS.

[Jay Roosevelt]

I have all ideas Mack will be looking to sign with a contender.

A player like Mack will want to go where he can win a ring.  The Panthers do not need to use their cap contributing to retirement funds--they need to build a core.  I think the odds Mack comes to Charlotte are very unfavorable.

He is playing at a high level--PFF score of 90 last year, 7 sacks--but his production will soon start dropping--you are paying last year's rate for diminishing returns.  Not smart--but he is unlikely to come here--

In terms of building a core, you need to develop edge rushers for the future, hoping they make an immediate impact.  Most take 2 seasons of development before they reach their prime years.

Yeah, I think he will stay in LA.

Oh wow, I completely forgot that Mack was in the same draft class as Clowney. It is wild looking at some of the names from that year.

Special Juan, I appreciate how you bring stuff like this to the Huddle...Much appreciated--gives us something to discuss.

The stupidity continues in BOA. I don't know why I still follow this team.

Its like a bad habit. Do they make a patch or some kinda gum that can help me kick this bullsh*t?  

[frankw]

So is this baseless speculation or did they actually hear this from an inside source?

[thunderraiden]

Nothing in the article states that we have any interest in Mack, it is just speculation which would not be the first time that Mack has been speculated to the Panthers this offseason, it still wouldn't stop us from getting pass rush help in the draft which is LOADED from rounds 2 to 5 anyways in edge rush talent.

According to what I've read, any "talent" at edge outside of like three guys is highly speculative. So there may be guys there, but they're not exactly grading out as guys that can come in and make an immediate impact; It's more like any draft.

I dont think there is an edge player in this draft at all that is an immediate impact player, sure there will be situational dudes like Carter and walker but its going to take a minute if not all year for them to get really rolling.  Every blue moon you get a peppers, hutchinson, garrett etc that are beasts from the jump but they are rare

How are we in year 3 of a rookie qb contract that we traded a kings ransom for not in a "win now" mode?

Being in year 3 of a rookie contract doesn’t mean you’re in a win mode, having a team that is one or two players away from contention does that.

we’re nowhere close to only needing one or two players to give us a shot at contending.

you don’t sign a 34 year old Mack unless that’s what you think you are, we are not that right now, it’s pretty simple
