You couldn't have asked for a better send-off for the Prince of Darkness than that final concert a few weeks ago. We all knew he'd go someday, but this is truly the end of an era. Anyway I know what I'm going to be spinning for a while:

Uggh forgot about that

I am curious to see if Warren is the elite player that the Huddle Warren stans believe. I am always fairly wary of these first round TE's.

The Rossi things isn't going away, either... https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3312416/unfinished-business-7-players-to-watch-in-back-half-of-nhl-offseason The Wild and Rossi shouldn't be having any trouble hammering out an extension. Rossi, an RFA turning 24 in September, recorded the second-most points on the team last season (60 in 82 games). The smart, skilled, highly competitive 5-foot-9 Austrian is a homegrown top-six center. Minnesota has $10 million in cap space and no other significant spots to fill to finalize its 2025-26 roster. Problems lurk below the surface, however. Coach John Hynes demoted Rossi to the fourth line in the playoffs, dropping his nightly usage from 18 minutes in the regular season to 11 in the first-round series loss to Vegas. GM Bill Guerin's top to-do list item at the moment is to lock up Kirill Kaprizov. The superstar winger, who's been eligible for an extension since July 1, is due for Leon Draisaitl-type money (around $14 million average annual value) starting in 2026-27. Guerin has said there's no rush to sign, trade, or match an offer sheet for Rossi. If he stays, a short-term extension makes sense, since it gives both player and team flexibility. If he leaves, a trade is far more likely than an offer sheet. Half of the league could use a second-line center, and Rossi still has upside. The Hurricanes desperately need to upgrade at 2C (Jesperi Kotkaniemi isn't going to cut it) and have plenty of cap space. Ditto for the Sabres, who picked Jack Quinn one spot before Rossi went to the Wild in the 2020 draft. Mammoth bench boss Andre Tourigny coached Rossi in junior, and they don't have as much wiggle room, but trading top-six winger Nick Schmaltz (plus a pick) could make the math work. Guerin wants to make a so-called "hockey trade" here.

Sorry to hear this for josey i have to ask, if I read correctly, he had concussion issues since week 15…why did the FO not pursue someone…..

Source? And whose spot would he take?

Not necessarily, if anything, I think there is an argument to be made that it's the least important position in football, so I don't take issue with them leaving it for last during this re-build. Honestly the only position I think you could argue is less important to have studs is RB. Today's NFL is about the passing game. So you need the QB and WRs, as well as the OL to protect and give time for your passing game. While the opposite is true on defense, that you need the pass rush and secondary to be your strongest units to defend against the pass. There is a reason you don't see MLB's get drafted early in the 1st Round unless they're a true generational talent, like a Kuechly.

Karlsson trade gaining steam again, will most likely happen if the Penguin's retain 25-30% of his contract.

I get it but I dont think there is an excuse for it to be absolute poo. Weakened maybe. But not this bad.

You would. But this regime has bent over backwards to surround our #1 pick with top end talent after early on bloviating about not needing to invest so much around him because he's that good. So there's only so much to go around. Especially when we are 4th in OL spending.

Fingers crossed those Nakobe Dean being available for trade rumblings will start again.

The Panthers are releasing Josey Jewell, per team writer Darin Gantt, clearing a roster spot as the veteran linebacker continues his recovery from a concussion suffered last December. The two sides did try to find common ground on a revised contract, per Joe Person of The Athletic, but a release was determined as the best path forward. A team spokesman said (via Gantt) that Jewell is focusing on his health and consented to the release so that the team did not have to waste a roster spot on a player with an uncertain return timeline. However, the Panthers are leaving the door open for a reunion if Jewell manages to complete his recovery. https://www.profootballrumors.com/2025/07/panthers-to-release-lb-josey-jewell

Joe Person @josephperson · 2m The Panthers tried out 14 players on Monday. They have signed the first one from that list: Former Seahawks TE Tyler Mabry. @mike_e_kaye 1st.

I see that he has been suffering from concussions it may be for the best

Our ILB position is dog poo. You would think that would be a strength with Morgan at GM.

Best we can do is wait for cuts at this point. Can't trot Rozeboom out there as a starter

Better grip on your man to hand relationship

Maybe this puts Moehrig and Ransom on the field at the same time more. A lot of people questioned the pick because both of them are most effective playing closer to the LOS than deep in the secondary, so maybe this makes us use one as a hybrid LB/S at times.

Bring back Luke Kuechly

lol I’m not laughing at him still having concussion related symptoms, because that’s awful of course. But I was one of the most vocal anti-Walker people on here leading into the draft. And while I’d obviously have still gone with T-Mac, had I known this would happen, I’d have been MUCH more on board with taking Walker to be an ILB who gets used as a situational pass rusher as well.

Mighty thin LB room. The weak link on this team. The young guys aren't going to have much time to produce. Basically have to hit the ground running.

Sucks...

I mean at this point the guy needs to prioritize his health and his life if he's been in the concussion protocol for months. Just hang it up and go live. Best of luck to him and his family. As for the state of the linebacker group in general. Just go young and rebuild. Shaq Thompson was not going to save that unit no matter how much some folks might want to convince themselves otherwise. Gotta let it go and reset.

I dont even know who is out there. Bring Kruger-Hill back for depth. Maybe Eric Kendricks has some left in the tank? Maybe Dan can make a last second trade that pans out like the Mike Jackson one did last year.
