@AdamSchefter @Jason_OTC do you see this as choosing to pay the DT over the EDGE? We’ve seen DTs pay go through the roof a new trend?
@AdamSchefter Ok, big up for the Panthers. Panthers gotta add a bit more depth there though.
@AdamSchefter Man, he wants his career to mean nothing except a payday. Props to him, but Carolina won’t be competitive for years.
@AdamSchefter $96 million seems steep for Brown. His performance hasn't justified that kind of investment yet. Could have used those funds more strategically.
