ghostwriter Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 Got to keep him another year, what could we get for him a 6th round pick? I'd rather roll the dice on him getting healthy.

Mat68 Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 Lets see how he responds to the surgery. He is a good player and I would discuss a more to RT with him. I do always worry when a big man starts getting feet problems though. Those seem to become chronic issues and can even lead to shortened careers.
T master Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 Maybe a proven LT, a first round pick from KC, & a QB package would be enough to trade up to get the QB they need/want in this upcoming draft !!

He says he can't play because it hurts, it's sore but no one knows WTF is wrong with it. And then when he does practice a few days he gets an illness and can't practice. Then after he feels better his foot hurts again. Its kind of like when your kid doesn't want to go to school cause they say they have a sore throat so you take him to the doctor. The doctor says the kid is fine then he wants to play with his friends in the adternoon. The next morning he says he's sick and wants to stay home from school again. You send the kid to school. The guy is a basket case evidently. McD don't like that kind of player. He's gone if he doesn't restructure IMO. Just WOW! 1

There's no reason to do so when you don't have to pay Dawkins until after the 2020 season. Move Glenn over to RT and let Mills be the swing OT. Cut Ducasse and draft an OG to compete with Miller, and you'll go into the 2018 season with a starting 5 of: Dawkins-Richie-Wood-Miller-Glenn ...backed up by Mills, Groy, and a rookie. That is a good plan for 2018. I would favor a FA RG over a rookie. They need a QB, two DL, two LB and probably a TE out of draft before they can address OL. If they let Glenn go or he cant play then OT becomes a priority over LB. FA of course will change everything

I love how everyone just assumes he can be traded. What kind of GM not wanting to get fired would give up any assets for this guy? This team is ancient. They write interoffice notes in hieroglyphics and sometimes Latin. 2nd oldest in NFL. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/nfl-blog/article173319326.html Although I can't deny the stats of the average age of the team, I think that if you look at key positions and starters it is kind of hard to think of this team as an old team. They aren't a young team but they don't scream old. InCog, Wood and Shady are the only starters 29 or older. Glenn, Tyrod, and Clay are the only offensive starters that are 28. The rest of the offense is fairly young. Defensively they are young in the secondary but a bit older in the front 7 where Kyle, Lorax, and Hughes are all well into their 30's, but they have some young pieces and certainly have enough cap space to plug some holes before the draft. I don't see the doom and gloom of next season. They have 4 picks in the first two rounds and a decent amount of cap space, plus a team that is halfway decent. I am not predicting they will turn it around but I also don't think that there isn't a reason you can't be optimistic either.
