Same, and I was one of the people during last season saying how he was playing himself into a nice contract. Literally twice as much as I expected he'd get. Good for him, though. [Reply]

Depends on what we do here on but it would be awesome to get that back and have three 4th rd picks in the 2026 draft
I hope that you're right. But so far, I'm thinking that our new left tackle is probably wiping out the pick for Wharton. [Reply]
DT is the most underrated position of need for this team by a lot. We need three quality players and no less than two. If something happens to Jones we have two going holes in the middle of the DL. [Reply]

DT is far and away the best position of this upcoming draft both in terms of top end quality and sheer number. We'll probably get more than one in this draft. [Reply]

Which is what makes the Wharton contract all the more confusing.
Why would Carolina give him so much money when they could very likely draft a guy who’s as good/better? [Reply]
