Inigo Montoya Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 One year contract that is likely budget friendly in a position of need with real upside. What's not to like? 3 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 All Carolina jokes aside, I'm more excited about this signing than any other DL we've taken from the Panthers. 7 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 2015 draft class, Randy Gregory had the largest wingspan of pure edge rushers in this class, with 81.9”. Among tight ends, Clive Walford had the biggest wingspan, at 81.5”. Arm Length: 35.6” – It’s actually hard to compare Obada’s length to anyone. Danielle Hunter had the longest arms amongst edge rushers in this class, with 34.3” arms. Clive Walford’s 34” arms were the longest among tight ends. The longest arms of anyone at the 2015 NFL Combine were Florida’s 355lb offensive lineman, Trenton Brown (36”). 40 yard dash: 4.63s – At the 2015 NFL Combine, this would have been good for second among tight ends, and sixth among defensive linemen. 10 yard split: 1.53s – This is the truly astonishing statistic. Obada’s 10 yard split time (which is far more important for defensive linemen than the 40 yard dash) cannot be compared amongst defensive linemen or tight ends, because it’s so much better than his counterparts. In fact, only six prospects at the 2015 NFL Combine ran a faster 10 yard split than Obada (five wide receivers, and one defensive back). Broad Jump: 121” – Would have been good for joint-first amongst tight ends at the 2015 Combine, and in the top-10 for defensive linemen. 5 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 So if he's only been in league 4 years, was he even in Carolina yet when McD and Beane left? Not that facts would changes the jokes and comments about it here. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I love the signing under the assumption he won’t be expensive. Hopefully it’ll be a 4 year contract worth 1M per year, 1M gtd 😃 I’d have preferred Dunlap, Houston, Clowney or Kerrigan, but this kid might be better than all of them.

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Good signing. Is a rookie going to come in and post more than 5.5 sacks? I doubt it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cage Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 At some point there's going to have to be a pool on who the last Panther is that we'll sign who was still there when McBeane were. We've got to be getting close?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BillsintheBurgh Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 So I guess there aren't many top flight pass rushers that want to be relegated to 50% of the defensive snaps? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeaneBandit Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Dude could come in, blow s*** up, and price himself right back out lol. Seriously though, guy could really be something if he puts it together. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Looks like he's close to our best pass rusher already (he or Hughes). Let's hope he takes another big step this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngbills Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Don’t know much about the guy yet. Assume it is very low $ deal and we still have a plan to use Tre restrux $ on a player or two. Do have to remind that Aaron Maybin had 6 sacks for the Jets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back2Buff Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Don't care what his stats were in Carolina, one thing we absolutely know, he will have a significant decline here. Why do we have all these scouts and front office people, if they are only going to sign players from Carolina? 2 9 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
