https://www.panthers.com/news/nfl-announces-2026-offseason-dates-panthers-to-begin-april-20-otas-minicamp I don’t see anything there until the end of May. I was hoping we’d get a look at them the next day or two.

We don’t know these players will succeed so I am not counting chickens but it was crazy how we met just about every pick at the intersection of needs and BPA.

Anyone know when rookie camp is?

And so do others but we insist on putting Etienne back there for some reason

I'm am in no way gonna act like this team can't go backwards next year. Fans of this team should be smarter than that by now. I'm also not gonna act like last year was some breakout season, we caught a lot of lucky breaks and still didnt even finish the season with a winning record and we also needed help just to make the playoffs. Thats not huge steps to me but still improvement from the last 7 seasons. I'm not gonna brag about being the best of the worst because thats what our division was. The team does have the tools to be significantly better than last year they just have to put in the work and desire. And of course a lot of that is gonna come down to bryce as we all know. Thats it.

Our strength of schedule is actually lower than than last year when comparing win pct of opponents in 2025

This is way too loaded to run it back in '27 with Bryce if we are a top 10 pick next April.

Running backs aren't as important but they were damn sure important for us in saving our season last year.

I feel like they targeted needs in a good way. Canales and Morgan specifically stated afterwards they wanted to bolster the trenches and get a deep threat

Yeah, and they don't have us drafting a QB. If Bryce lands us in the top 10 of the next draft, that pick need to be his replacement.

I mean, you've seen it two offseasons and drafts You can see it in the value ratings more in this draft than the last one. We had more to work with, but you could see the setup of this draft by the moves in free agency as clear as day also. No, BPA is not a myth.

I doubt we win 8 this year

Loosely related thoughts .. I really do feel for Icky but if he had been healthy no way we take Freeling. I think the big extension he was in line for and was getting, would have been an overpay. So in a way this might be a break. Depending on Freeling working out. If I were offered an even money bet on whether he returns to form or is a shadow of what he was, I am going with shadow. I just wouldn’t count on him for anything if it was going to cost market value. G, RT, whatever. To me, he needs to sign an incentive laden short term deal that doesn’t leave us on the hook if he can’t cut it. Go from there. He caught a horrible bad break but at least got 17.5 mil as a consolation prize. Or 16.5 or whatever it is.

@TheSpecialJuan Thanks for all of your help

Agree. Is Lemon/Tet/Coker that much better than Coker/Tet/Brazzell because I had trouble covering the LT position. The draft just fell wrong. No way can we ignore the tackle position.

Even if Icky hadn’t gotten injured, I still prefer taking Freeling in the first. Freeling just looks like a natural LT, and I’ve always wanted to move Icky to RT or guard.

I saw him and Burnzy having an iron man kinda conversation I would imagine.

Feel like Corey Thornton will absolutely be in the mix in the CB room. Strong camp and rookie season last year for an UDFA. The injury was unfortunate, but I think this staff loves him and he fits the mold from a physical standpoint.

I liked him at Tulane then won the ACC (yeah it was a down year) at Duke. Now he has that Miami talent around him. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is in the heisman race at all.

Kudos @TheSpecialJuanthere can be only juan

The LA Kings were swept by the Avs, but the real story here was Anze Kopitar's 20-year career, all with the Kings, coming to an end on home ice. Not a single fan left Crypto.com Arena while the Kings were getting blown out in game 4. A class act across the board, the Avs paying respect, the fans with a lengthy standing O and the announcers even did their part. 2 Cups, 2 Selke, 3 Lady Byng, 1600+ games... Congrats Anze!

Tremble, Metchie III, Isiah Simmons will make the roster. Pretty sure FOrsythe will be replaced By Brady once he is fully healed

Mensah will win the Heisman next year.
