Henryac, Thanks for the info. Buy the looks of things it sounds like Nick Dareus would be a much better player and person on and off the field. Kind of a no-brainer. Go with the player who has better charater. Both are monster DT. Plus Dareus weighs more than Fairley and Nick Dareus ran a faster 40 yard dash.

Royal, ya, at this point anything could happen. I don`t know what to make of it but it sounds positive.

strand – Just hope it’s not a media relations ploy with the extension but it falls in line with what Jason La Canfora, was reporting yesterday evening. (24 hr extension pre-cursor for additional days).
According to Goodell, both groups will meet separately over the weekend and then meet again on Monday.

Henryac, ive been sayign that since day 1. Thats why i didnt want fairley. He could cost us alot in the NFL. I wanted Bowers but we have DEs. Dareus is the clear choice if we go DT first.

Still hoping for something along the lines of Patrick Peterson, Stephen Paea and Gregg Jones.

Dline has been deep for like the past 3 years. McD failed two of those years. Glad we get another shot.

Mikeyb1203 – Yes, did see your post. Alot of fans do want to see us get a D- lineman including myself. I joined the Dareus bandwagon sometime back, but as we all know, depends on who the Panthers take.
Now with the release of two D- lineman, looks like the writings on the wall. Either way we should come out of this with a great draft selection.

With the release of Bannon and Williams, it looks like the choice will be DT. If that is the choice, I personally hope they go with Dareus rather than Fairly. I live in the Southeast and watched both of them a number of times this year. Fairly is more disruptive, but sometimes its on both teams! Way too many calls for Late Hits, Unnecessary Roughness, Roughing the Quarterback, etc. Dareus is almost as disruptive but not nearly so much baggage. I think he will end up the better long term player of the two.

Mikeyb1203:
A tender is basically assigning a draft pick value to that player. Placing a tender guarentees that you will pay that player a certain amount depending on the tender, a low round tender is a low amount, and the highest is a first and third round tender. Once a player is tendered, your team not only has the right to match any offer made by another team, if another team offers more than your team is willing to pay, your team is awarded that teams draft picks based on the type of tender. So if I signed a player to a first round tender, and another team offered him more money than I wanted to pay, I would get that teams first round pick.

With so many teams needing a QB and so few first round QB’s coming out we may get high value for Orton if we decide to trade him. Maybe we could get Peterson and trade up to get an elite lineman also. I still say defensive tackle first and foremost, too many good QB’s just step up in the pocket to evade the outside rush of defensive ends, we need a disruptive force in the middle. If Zanders really was talking up Fairley big time, my guess is we won’t take him. Nobody wants to show their cards this early. Love the off season, so much drama!
