I don't disagree about Nikishin's potential availability, but Hamilton as a replacement? Not an upgrade in my book.

I like him, and would be hesitant but that could be our Icky replacement. It would be a gift from above. So it won’t happen… but I would say yes I accept. What really pushes it into ‘go’ for me is the concussions. It could be a situation where we are unloading a problem, vs keeping one.

Too late. You owe me a flat screen lol. He will be a mystery to us and himself for quite some time yet. Hell his 5th year is guaranteed and he won’t be giving any of it back. Nearly 16 million. I think. If he doesn’t return to form he can retire very damned luxuriously on 10-12 million or whatever he gets to keep after taxes and agent cut. We aren’t fuging him, let’s don’t fug ourselves.

It's a win/win. He would do better with the Rams, and we would do better w/ the no. 13+ picks.

100%, I would stay far away from him

Well hard pass for me

With the way Horn played this past season? In a heartbeat.

given our luck and history would it surprise anyone that Icky has played his last down as a Panther? And this is coming from probably the biggest icky fan on this board

Nope. Can't do it until we see how he looks after his injury. It's a big one. One that routinely derails careers.

Next im gonna hear his brother is the Center so that means he'll be a good LT. (This is what many floated when Matt Khalils bum ass got signed).

I think you should read articles written by humans about patellar tendon injury recovery time for NFL players and not rely on Chatgpt searches for the wrong thing.

I love you brotha but just no… (you and I used to tailgate together with Brandon (from Orlando) and Riot back in the day (before he got all famous and poo).

Proctor will get eaten alive by speed rushers. If you think Ickey was prone to get beat by speed demons on the edge, well a 360 pound dude ain't your answer.

We have a comedian here folks.

Yup, I keep using Kyler as a comp for a reason. Don't be stupid Dan.

I would not mind this It is a smart move The Carolina Panthers might catch themselves a hog molly this offseason. Joe Person of The Athletic, in a fresh article from Saturday, offered up his biggest takeaways for the team heading out of the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine. As part of his notes, he reports that general manager Dan Morgan and his staff are "spending a lot of time" on assessing possible additions to their offensive line—a position group that is likely to be without starting left tackle Ikem Ekwonu for at least a portion of the upcoming campaign. Person also suggests a potential draft option. He writes:

Dougie stops playing defense way too often. Go get Tro.

Basically, Sadiq means you would have to cover him with a safety or nickel instead of a LB. Not a huge advantage, but he can create mismatches in some sets.

He could, but we can't replace him (as a cap casualty) with what we'd save. I mean, saving $4.75m is not worth losing a starting edge, especially if we let Wonnum go (we will, as you know). I think we keep jones and Scourton as starters--hopefully, Princely will come on stronger in 2026.

Lol. No

ok hear me out before you throw stuff...Icky is not in a negotiating position. Will be a free agent next year, unless carolina does the 5th year option. He may not get a better deal from another team coming off this bad an injury. Could have him over a barrel for a team friendly contract. Cap savings would be substantial this season to sign a few more players.

Can he catch ?

I agree but unfortunately Boom is on the market. He has net been the same since the Quinn Hughes trade fail. I think he is being told to scale back to not get hurt. Not by Rod but his agent.

If Willis believes in himself and the situation he will be going to, he should just sign a one year prove it deal. That will give him the potential to score a mega deal next off season
