Honestly, if that many OTs drop in the draft to us, I would question why they are and if it is because they aren't 1st round talent. I feel like the only OT I have seen top 15 across the board is Mauigoa. All of the other ones have been all over the place from late teens to like 40 from draft big boards I have seen.

You aren't going to get anything for XL and I'd give him another year before pulling the plug. A lot of WRs don't break out until their third year. Panthers shouldn't be dropping 20 million on any free agent unless it is a LT or pass rusher.

#1 PG and top 10 overall recruit just committed to UNC.

Steve Smith was that way---but not the extreme of some of these guys---they get worse when you pay them too.

The only pick I like in that mock is Branch, Bryce needs a quick and shifty WR. The other two picks are terrible.

No on Tyreek Hill, he's past his prime and coming off a major injury. They should definitely bring in Chubb, he would instantly upgrade LB/EDGE and he's already familiar with Evero's scheme.

Injuries happen on the oline and I think it's extremely irresponsible to think that you can buy a season long starting line that won't get hurt. We need to be drafting at least 1 lineman per year, ideally a T every 2 and an IOL at least late day 2, early 3 or in the later rounds with a UDFA guard/center or 2 that can hang out on the practice squad. We bought a starting oline instead of developing a multi-tiered one with vets, rookie contracts, and PS backups. JMO, but we should be carrying 4 tackles, 5 interior OL with a true starting center and 1 G/T plug in. We need to use those protected spots on the PS as effectively as possible and get that cap number back under control. Oline just eats players every season and it's a beast you constantly need to feed.

If it gets Young killed I'm all for it.

It will most likely happen given our circumstances. But it's gotten us into murky waters in the past. Specifically we talked often about being in "cap hell" due to so many restructures from Hurney once upon a time. For myself I'll accept it if we are using the savings to assemble a dominant young defense. I want a complete team again. If we use it to continue doubling down on the offense to prop up one player eventually everyone involved is going to see themselves out of a job.

It was not just an ACL tear, he dislocated his knee and had damage to other ligaments. There’s no telling whether he will be the same again in terms of health/speed at age 32.

I believe on Catcrave there was an article stating that we could restructure Hunt and Lewis (as well as horn, brown, and a couple others I am forgetting) to free up some cap room. Not sure I am a fan of this tactic as it eventually will come to a head with some aging players down the line. But its one way to get our OL cost way down but I kindof hate the tactic of kicking the can down the road

Dude is scum. He has a criminal history that is public record. Look it up if you haven't. Multiple domestic violence incidents plus child abuse. No need to intentionally bring a piece of poo like that into your locker room.

Really don't understand why this conversation is so contentious or why people are in their feelings over it. The possibility of it actually happening is minimal at best. And besides. The Panthers have already tried introducing a malcontent WR that another team was eager to move on from into the locker room. It's the last thing we need at this point in time.

It's the Raiders lol. They're not afraid of anything

So you mean a team is going to pick him up, but aren't they afraid he's going to set the locker room on fire and lace the Gatorade?

Clarification. For 2026 so far we are actually now third in OL salary cap at 89.6 million. Still way too much given our offensive output.

I see him going to Vegas since they don't have any receivers whatsoever. Tyreek, Brock Bowers, second year Ashton Jeanty and if Fernando Mania pans out would be a decent offense.

Certainly the situation with Icky is the complete opposite of ideal. In a perfect world we would all love to have a very promising young Tackle on the roster to develop or even a wily veteran. But reality isn't that cut and dry. We have the highest amount of salary cap dedicated to the OL in the league. We had a bottom 5 passing offense last year. And to be abundantly clear. I am one who was fully on board with diverting assets more to the offense to change gears so to speak. The FO seemed to agree. I would hope wise fans who have seen the highs and lows of this franchise going back 25 years or more would agree that was a miscalculation. Although the years before Tepper were up and down we had generational talent on our defenses and that pushed us over the hump a few times. We need to get back to that and begin building a ferocious defense again. And we also need to just make some basic and realistic observations. We invested a King's ransom in Bryce Young. He does not and will not have elite pieces across every position along the offense especially with us now picking up his option and having many needs. Cam Newton had this franchise competing for the division and playoffs with the likes of Byron Bell and Nate Chandler at opposite ends of the oline. And that was when the NFC South was much more competitive.

Ick. Not a fan of that mock.

The guy is still recovering from a major, major injury. He's a locker room cancer. He's over 30. He sometimes requires the team ownership to intervene with local police over stupid poo. He's going to cost $20 million a year of salary cap with diminishing returns. Let's just let this one limp on by.

Man you guys that know which players are good for the locker room and who's not can I get the lottery number please. I'm always amazed that you guys act like you know these people personally, I dont remember Hill making TO or Steve Smith headlines, what he does in his personal life as long as he isnt committing crimes is his business.

32 age is a factor. ACL injury is factor. All that other nonsense blah, blah, blah. How does adding another playmaker stunt TMac and Coker what kind of insane logic is that. For the record I dont care about adding Hill I jusr want to add a playermaker period.

And at left tackle...

Unless he renegotiates, this has to be the plan

I would crap my pants if the Panthers get Anthony Hill Jr. He's going to be a stud in the NFL.
