Tender Kalil and Johnson?

wow...

So some people continue to think the CHARLES JOHNSON and RYAN KALIL are more valuable players than DWill...

s...m...h...

How are they not? Since all three of them are around the same level of talent for their respective positions, it comes down to the value of the specific postion, (a talented Center and DE are more valuable and scarce then a Running back)

And who we have to replace them (Stewart has shown to be a very talented replacement, which can't be said for the players behind Kali and Johnson).

Johnson will want to be in this system. It is tailor made for him to put up big numbers. Williams will likely be here as well. This is a much better situation than one where he will be the feature back and get overused and injured. Plus with his injury history right now I doubt people are going to be throwing money at him right now. He has played 19 games in the past 2 years. And he missed 10 games in 2010. Anyone think he gets huge pay day right now??

DW may see the bright lights and someone may throw some ridiculous money at him. We are in good shape to re-sign him (financially) and then shop him. Here is a long shot: We could have crippled his ability to get a long-term, lucrative second contract by tagging him. At 29, he would not get a good offer, IMO. I expect there is an agreement. Maybe the Panthers told him, "We will not tag you, and we will give a good contract (one that the Panthers can get out of at year's end if necessary, like the Donovan McNabb deal). We will then shop you for a trade, and you can refuse the deal if it is a bad situation. Solidifying your contract's second, third, and fourth years can be part of the agreement."

Basically, "We will not tag you if you let us sign you and trade you to a team you like." If no agreement is reached by the end of 2011, DW will just be cut. Does that make sense to anyone?
