I can get behind this

You have a point but he’s been performing better as the seasons progress, and has had a lot against him as far as surrounding talent and growing into the league. You want to see overall performance pointing up, and he definitely is after last season. Left tackles don’t grow on trees, and he’s one of the better ones in the league and just now only 24 years old. Some rookies from this draft are the same age him and he’s going into year 4.

The Panthers have picked up the fifth-year option on left tackle Ikem Ekwonu’s contract. He is expected to get a long-term deal, something the Panthers did for defensive lineman Derrick Brown and cornerback Jaycee Horn in the same situation. The only question is: When? “I have no timeline, honestly,” Ekwonu said Thursday, via Kassidy Hill of the team website. “I’ll let my agent and Dan and everybody kind of figure that out for themselves. “But I mean, obviously, all parties know, all parties involved know I want to be here in Carolina long term. Hopefully, we can get that done. I’m definitely grateful and excited for this option.” The Panthers used the sixth overall pick in 2022 on Ekwonu, who has started 49 of a possible 51 games in his career after missing two games with an ankle injury in 2024. Ekwonu does not turn 25 until the end of October. Ekwonu was born in Charlotte and went to North Carolina State, so he is home and wants to keep it that way. “I want to be here,” Ekwonu said. “I want to be part of the glory days in Carolina, and I feel like we’re right there on the precipice of it.” https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/lt-ikem-ekwonu-wants-to-remain-in-carolina-long-term-but-has-no-timeline-for-an-extension

D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]
tukafan21 replied to Tbe's topic in Carolina Panthers
And we're so much better off for it. T-Mac just turned 22 and we'll pay him about $28 million over the 4 years of the contract. DK will turn 28 late in the season, is costing the Steelers $132 million the next 4 years, plus a 2nd rounder to get him. Higgins will turn 27 in the playoffs, is costing the Bengals $115 million the next 4 years, and the Bengals probably weren't trading him for less than a 1st rounder. -

All the local pundits who cover the Panthers are shocked and disappointed that we didn't draft Walker. My friends, you were successfully smoke screened. -
Something tells me this is Freddie’s last big push. If we get so lucky and win the cup I bet he calls it.

Morgan looking for aa FA Free Safety
ColumbusCounty replied to Captain Morgan's topic in Carolina Panthers
During the UDFA phase an under the radar signing was Abe Camara. I've heard we are trying him @ safety ... I need this guy to make the 53. Sneaky good signing. -
Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton
LinvilleGorge replied to Icege's topic in Carolina Panthers
Yeah, they just happen to be teams with all-time great RBs and all-time great running QBs. The majority of the rest of the league is throwing at a 60%+ clip. -

Davidson Deac II replied to Icege's topic in Carolina Panthers
Looking at stats for the last 3 years, A&M doesn't get many sacks from its edge rushers. -
I wouldn't read too much one way or another yet into the league favoring running over passing or vice versa. Right now offensive coaches are favoring balance and defensive coaching staff's are obviously having success. But it's ever evolving and I expect passing numbers to go back up again. And even though some people might dismiss it at the end of the day the league knows what moves the needle with viewership. I can agree they will alter rules if need be to maintain that.
