TBH, I am not sure "leaps and bounds better" is actually achievable in just one offseason. If we move towards the upper end of the bottom 10 defenses, I would consider that adequate progress overall.

Quite a bit more building in store for the next couple of offseasons.

Achievable or not, the defense must make major improvements or Evero must go.  At some point you have to put these players in positions to win.  Our defense looks lost out there on a weekly basis.

I mean that is a good haul for him but why on earth??? They have a young QB and they trade one of the best LT's around???? That's nuts.

I have on good Huddle authority that a QB selected #2 overall is supposed to also double as his own LT in order to maximize his rookie contract.

Can confirm the Bengals are signing former Packers DT TJ Slaton to a 2-year deal worth $15.1 million. Cincinnati with its second interior defensive line addition today after re-signing BJ Hill to a 3-year deal. First reported by NFL Network.

I think it all hinges on what we are able to cobble together in the offseason. That was the worst group of defensive players to ever suit up in Panthers uniforms. Even had Brown and Shaq been healthy, that would have been the case.

We have to see what the lineup looks like. I still suspect it will be a bottom 10 defense.

Here are the terms of the deal (via NFL Media

Texans get: 2025 third-rounder, 2026 2nd-rounder, 2026 fourth-rounder
Commanders get: Laremy Tunsil, 2025 fourth-rounder

Giving up Tunsil is an interesting decision for the Texans because CJ Stroud took 58 sacks last season, which was the second-most in the NFL.

How have we been unable to get in on ANY DL deals aside from Williams?

Seems like we are letting the upper tier and a chunk of the middle tier DL names get past us.

He did only have two more years left on his deal, maybe the extension talks really did not go well.

Agreed, I’ll wait to see what the roster looks like and will eventually con myself into thinking it’s enough to be excited.  Ive rode this ride before.
