Panthers want Star


Ja  Rhule

Recommended Posts

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports the Panthers have shown a "lot of interest" in Utah DT Star Lotulelei.

The Panthers are far from settled on the interior of their defensive line, but it would be a major surprise if Lotulelei tumbled all the way to their pick. La Canfora believes Carolina is likely Lotulelei's "floor," meaning he wouldn't fall any further

Pretty much if he's there, he's our pick. Jets said they will pick offesive weapon with 1 of their first rounders. Apparently they after Tavon Austin so looks like Tavon is going to gang green unless someone jumps to #8.

Maybe we see how the draft plays out, and then we try to leap frog a team or two with a fourth round pick or some such if Star makes it that far.

I'm down with that. I still love Allen but I seem to be one of the few people in the world who would take him at 14. Trading back or landing Star seems to be out best bet right now.

I'd be happy with both of those. I think Star is worth an extra mid-round pick, and I think you could get Allen (who I like) while moving back a bit. Gettleman has worked a trade phone, so I'm sure he's no stranger to a deal.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
