Panthers defensive tackle Dwan Edwards was one of the best bargains in the NFL last season, but the 31-year-old free agent is looking for more security this winter.

He might not find it in Carolina.

Edwards said Thursday he is weighing several contract offers, including a one-year offer from the cap-strapped Panthers. He indicated he was looking for a longer deal.

“It’s getting to the time in my career where you definitely start thinking about winning a Super Bowl,” Edwards said in a phone interview from Buffalo. “I wouldn’t say (the Panthers) were Super Bowl contenders. I think there’s an opportunity to make some noise in their division and get in the playoffs.

“If I’m not in their vision any longer than one year, it’s hard to think that (a Super Bowl run) is going to happen.”

Edwards would not identify his other suitors, but said one was a playoff team last season. He said he has been offered longer deals than the Panthers’, but would not discuss particulars.

Yeah, he's pretty much gone, with saying he wants to be with a contender and that the Panthers aren't that. lol. Yeah, he's out.

I'm not going to lie. Redundant thread is redundant.

That said, I sure hope we can work something out with him. He makes our line better. I really hate losing better guys. I can however, understand his need for a longer deal.

Give him his two year deal. Worry about cutting him next year if need be. I just want something done. All this waiting is giving me a headache.

"I think there's an oppurtunity to make some noise in their division and get in the playoffs"

Unless I'm interpreting it the wrong way.

He was referring to the Panthers with that quote. He's saying that the Panthers have potential, but aren't SB contenders, which is what he is looking for in a suitable team at this point in his career.

You are, as usual. Please work on your reading comprehension, for everyone's sake.

      I don't know about you but I have been a life long Chiefs fan for the past 4 years.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Sure there's a ton of transplants in Colorado now. But as far as Denver in particular goes the Broncos have also been around for 65 years. Someone moving to Denver is going to be far more likely to become a fan of the Broncos and even attend games versus someone moving to Charlotte and the Panthers. Like I said it's not just one single thing with us it's multiple factors.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      He's definitely getting better. It's fun to watch.  I've been getting killed for this take, but with the current state of college football, it just takes more time to develop a quarterback. I don't think it's a plug and play position anymore. I'm really not sure if it ever was. NFL offenses have always been substantially more complex than the college game, and the college game has simplified even more in recent years. Many college teams do not have a physical playbook anymore. That's just not the national football league.  Are there freaks who have success from day 1? Yes, without question. But so many of those guys are runners, and so many of those guys tail off. Is Bryce ever going to be Josh Allen? Probably not.  What I am seeing is a guy with complete command of the offense. He's checking into things at the line, making adjustments, and making timely throws.  He goes to David Moore a ton, because Moore is a consistent route runner. Bryce knows where he is and when he should be open. I think the guy with the "super processor" needs to be comfortable in the offense in order to do the "super processing." He doesn't have elite arm talent, and he is small of stature, but if he makes the smart play consistently, and he's willing to throw the ball downfield and not make mistakes, like he's starting to show, he's going to be a starter for a long time in this league, and it's not a position I'd spend draft capital right now.
